Overview

• Trump said he is drafting legislation to let undocumented farm and hotel workers remain legally, work and pay taxes without a path to citizenship
• He ordered ICE to pause workplace raids at farms, meatpacking plants, restaurants and hotels after industry leaders warned of crippling labor shortages
• The White House and DHS have offered no formal framework or timeline for the temporary pass and have declined to clarify the plan’s details
• Local law enforcement cooperation with ICE continues to target undocumented workers through traffic stops and minor infractions despite the worksite freeze
• Under Trump’s outline, employers would vet and manage noncitizen workers on their operations and face removal of the pass if they fail to expel violent criminals
