Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump Reverses Course on ICE Raids at Restaurants and Farms [View all]

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were told on Thursday to halt raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, according to an internal email obtained by The New York Times.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired off a Truth Social post stating, Changes are coming in the administrations deportation policy.
Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace, Trump said while promising to get the CRIMINALS OUT.
The new guidance reflects Trumps post, as the Times reported on Friday:
The guidance was sent on Thursday in an email by a senior ICE official, Tatum King, to regional leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations, including work site operations, known as Homeland Security Investigations.
Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels, he wrote in the message.
The email explained that investigations involving human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK. But it said crucially that agents were not to make arrests of non criminal collaterals, a reference to people who are undocumented but who are not known to have committed any other crime.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance.

But the thing is, Stephen Miller, who is the one who is really running ICE, has a "3000 per day" quota and they are literally manufacturing "crimes" of "trafficking" for every innocent immigrant they round up to deport.

I doubt it too. But now all the out of work white guys who had work taken from them can go do that.

Miller must be really pissed. He was the one who ordered ICE to go into restaurants, fields, etc.

No source for this but it is plausable if not true. Reagan planned to go wild on immigration

So does this mean that the people that were detained will be released? He will probably backtrack when MAGA pushes back
