The Department of Homeland Security reversed course on guidance limiting immigration raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants on Monday, according to a source familiar with the discussions — the latest example of whiplash for an agency tasked with carrying out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
During a morning field call on Monday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials told leaders representing field offices across the country that they must continue to conduct raids at worksite locations, the source said — a reversal from guidance issued days earlier under pressure from certain industries who rely on migrant workers.
The call and directive were first reported by the Washington Post. CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
ICE has been under tremendous pressure to meet White House-imposed quotas. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told ICE officials last month that they needed to arrest at least 3,000 people a day. ICE has been averaging around 2,000 people a day.
