Overview

• New rules immediately bar Chinese nationals and other designated adversaries from purchasing U.S. farmland under the seven-point National Farm Security Action Plan.
• The USDA has canceled seven active agreements with entities from countries of concern and removed roughly 70 affiliated actors from federal contracts.
• USDA secretary Brooke Rollins said the plan is coordinated with the White House, Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security and Justice departments alongside state, tribal and local governments.
• Officials reaffirmed a no-amnesty policy for undocumented farmworkers, pledging strategic mass deportations while promoting automation and recruiting Medicaid recipients for agricultural jobs.
• The action plan also calls for higher penalties under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act and a SNAP program review to curb benefit fraud by transnational crime rings.
