Overview

  • Trump is developing a temporary pass for migrant farm and hotel workers that ties legal status to employer sponsorship and tax contributions.
  • Under the proposal, farmers and hotel managers could certify trusted long-time staff to protect them from mass deportations.
  • DHS has affirmed that worksite enforcement remains vital for public safety and will not exempt industries shielding criminal elements.
  • The announcement comes after a brief mid-June pause in ICE arrests at agriculture and hospitality sites, which resumed under a 3,000-arrests-per-day quota.
  • Farmers and hotel operators warned that recent raids stripped essential labor pools, making key roles nearly impossible to fill.
