Trump instructs pause of ICE raids in farms, hotels

The Trump administration has reportedly directed immigration officers to pause raids at farms, restaurants, hotels and meatpacking plants.

The shift follows after President Donald Trump expressed concern that aggressive enforcement actions were harming long-time workers in the agriculture and hospitality sectors.

The decision comes after a series of ICE raids in several cities, including farmlands in California and Nebraska, which sparked fear and led to absenteeism among undocumented workers.

These mass detentions and deportations also led to immigration protests across America.

Despite the pause, President Trump continues to advocate for mass deportations. In a Truth Social post, he called on federal agencies to implement “the single largest mass deportation programme in history.”
