Trump says changes are coming to ICE raid policy: 'We must protect our farmers'

FRESNO, Calif. -- President Donald Trump is reversing course on his immigration raid policy when it comes to farm workers, he announced on Truth Social.

"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 wrote. "...We must protect our farmers, but get criminals out of the U.S.A. Changes are coming!"

According to the U.S. Agriculture Department, 42% of crop farmworkers from 2020 to 2022 lacked legal status.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the change is happening because Californians spoke up. "Keep it going. Keep it peaceful. It's working," he wrote on X.

In a post on social media, Newsom shared a story about a 12-year-old boy he met in Oxnard, California whose parents had been taken by agents. They had been working the fields for over 20 years.

"Donald Trump may not care about him, but he's finally listening to you calling out these indiscriminate acts of cruelty," Newsom said. "Let's keep up the pressure, and let's do it peacefully."
 
Nuanced policy due to supply of critical labor, (farm workers are critical, if underpaid) I especially like seeing Trump amend his
previous policy to protect farm workers
 
Just imagine if Trump had instructed ICE to do what he told the public they were going to do i.e. go after the rapists, murderers and violent criminals. But of course Trump lied again and thought he could get more personal glory from telling ICE to go after maximum numbers instead, so Trump could brag about it. Then under pressure to reach Trumps numbers, and knowing they can't reach them if only targeting the nasty criminals, ICE of course go after the low hanging fruit such as farm workers and other workers who are easy to find. So now Trump makes a new Taco to appease all the businesses that are suffering. Yet the suffering was 100% predictable and known to be a real issue. But Trump is so damn dumb and self absorbed that he couldn't even see that coming. So, like so many other Trump things, we get a economically damaging Taco instead of a well thought out plan.

Translation: Donald Trump is employing illegal immigrants himself, and doesn't want that to change.

Too much of MAGA territory is rural and the mid-term elections would be impacted.

No they wouldn't be.

Americans only care about social issues, these people would never vote blue because dems are woke and gay.

Pretty big flip-flop......
We'll see how this plays with DJT's base.
MAGA....."They're taking our jobs....they're eating the cats and dogs!!"
 
Only if they are required to identify themselves, be documented, and given an ID allowing them to work legally as temporary residents who must maintain contact with immigration periodically to remain legal.
Thereby if stopped by ICE all they would need do is produce their ID, which if is found valid they are free to go. Perhaps after a 10 year lapse they would become entitled to become naturalized.
Perhaps an alien ID smart card would provide a quick and easy solution.
