President Donald Trump is again considering how to shield American agricultural industry stakeholders from the effects of his crackdown on illegal immigrants.
USA Today says that comes only days after the administration reinstated workplace raids at U.S. agricultural operations.
“We can’t put farms out of business,” Trump said on June 20th.
“We’re looking at doing something where good and reputable farmers can take responsibility for the people they hire and let them have the responsibility.
At the same time, we don’t want to hurt people who are not criminals.”
The messages have been mixed as raids continue despite the President promising changes to protect migrants in the farming, hotel, and leisure industries in a social media post on Truth Social on June 12th.
After directing immigration officials to largely pause the raids on farms, hotels, restaurants, and meatpacking plants, the administration reversed course only a few days later and resumed the raids.
