Last week, President Trump announced that the farming and hotel industries would be exempted from immigration raids.
But now, after receiving a lot of pushback from hardworking Americans, it appears he has changed his mind.
The Trump administration has just reversed course and instructed agents to carry out raids on all industries — no exceptions!

The Washington Post reported:
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.
ADVERTISEMENTICE 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.
An official from DHS had sent an email Thursday telling agents to “hold on all worksite enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels.”That message went out hours after Trump suggested he was sympathetic to concerns raised by farmers and hospitality executives about his deportation plan. The Washington Post spoke with four people who confirmed that a call was held Monday with the agency’s leadership.
“There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts,” Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary for DHS, said Monday. “Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability.”
Good on President Trump for listening to his base and reversing course on this very controversial decision.
The vast majority of Americans voted for deporting all illegal aliens.
A President that actually listens to his voters.

America is for Americans, period.
There is no reason American jobs should be going to illegal immigrants. Send them all back, and let them come back the legal way if they want to return.
No more special treatment. farms, hotels, wherever. If you’re here illegally, you’re out.
