Overview

• Tom Homan confirmed that ICE worksite enforcement will continue at agricultural and hospitality sites, focusing first on cases involving trafficking, tax evasion or other criminal nexus.
• The announcement overturns last week’s informal pause that had aimed to protect farms and hotels from immigration sweeps.
• President Trump’s fluctuating directives have shifted from pledging to “take care” of farmers and hoteliers to reinstating strict enforcement within days.
• Homan encouraged employers to use established guest worker programs rather than rely on undocumented labor to fill critical roles.
• Industry groups warn the renewed raids could deepen labor shortages, and sanctuary cities along with immigrant advocates are preparing legal challenges.
