Trump Plans Shield for Undocumented Farm, Hotel Workers Amid Deportation Push

President Donald Trump announced plans to issue an executive order that would exempt undocumented workers in the agriculture and hospitality sectors from his administration's aggressive deportation efforts. This move comes after criticism of immigration raids that targeted long-term employees, some of whom have worked for farmers and hotel owners for 20 to 25 years. Trump emphasized the importance of these workers, noting that farmers and hotel owners rely heavily on them and that deporting these individuals would hurt these industries. He argued that removing these workers could lead farmers to hire criminals allowed into the country under previous administrations. The administration has set a target of 3,000 removals per day nationwide but is reconsidering this approach to avoid harming vital sectors. These developments coincide with ongoing unrest in places like Los Angeles related to immigration enforcement operations.
