Trump yanks brief reprieve for immigrants he said are 'good, long time workers'

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

 

"The Trump administration has reopened immigrant hotel, restaurant and agricultural workers to worksite arrests by immigration officers, backtracking on the brief reprieve they got after President Donald Trump stated they were necessary, good, longtime workers whose jobs were almost "impossible" to replace.

 

 

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement Tuesday "there will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE's efforts."

...

The announcement backpedals on Trump's statement last week on social media that "changes are coming" after farmers and hotel and leisure business employers had complained 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 officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids

 

ICE agents have been told to continue conducting enforcement operations at agricultural businesses despite concerns about negative effects on the food industry

 

"The Department of Homeland Security on Monday told staff that it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants — a decision that stood at odds with President Donald Trump’s calls for mass deportations of anyone without legal status.

 

Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including its Homeland Security Investigations division, told agency leaders in a call Monday that agents must continue conducting immigration raids at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants, according to two people familiar with the call. The new instructions were shared in an 11 a.m. call to representatives from 30 field offices across the country.

 

ICE and HSI field office supervisors began learning about a likely reversal of the exemption policy Sunday after hearing from DHS leadership that the White House did not support it, according to one person with knowledge of the reversal."

Does the Trump Administration ever actually know what it's doing from one day to the next... The mind boggles!

 

TACO Trump Chickens Out on Major Immigration Flip

Donald Trump has decided he’s OK with hurting farmers, actually

"The Department of Homeland Security is reversing guidance sparing farms, hotels, and restaurants from immigration raids, less than a week after Donald Trump admitted just how destructive his sweeping deportation efforts were to those industries.

...

This new directive comes just days after Trump publicly acknowledged that his raids were ripping away some “very good, longtime workers,” and that because those workers might be replaced by criminals, “we must protect our farmers.”

...

But it seems that economic policy isn’t the only area where Trump is liable to flip, and the raids will resume less than a week later.  It appears that the White House—namely deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who has demanded 3,000 immigration arrests a day—wasn’t totally behind the hold on worksite enforcement."

No.

It is the inevitable result of running government through the late night social media pronouncements of a narcissist.
