Trump considering deportation relief for farm workers after renewed ICE raids

President Trump is considering immigration relief for farm workers amid a renewed crackdown on illegal immigration, which recently included workplace raids. He stated, “We can't put the farms out of business,” emphasizing the need to protect reputable farmers and their workers during enforcement efforts.

Despite sending conflicting messages, Trump has expressed concern about the impact of immigration raids on the agriculture industry. His administration briefly paused raids in sensitive sectors but quickly resumed them.

About 42% of farm workers in the U.S. lacked legal status between 2020 and 2022, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Trump aims to find solutions that do not harm farmers while addressing illegal immigration.
