On Friday, June 20,2025, President Donald Trump gave an update on assisting what he called “reputable farmers” amid sweeping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation raids.

The president told reporters in part, “We’re looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire. Because we can’t put the farms out of business … I never want to hurt our farmers. And we can’t hurt the people who are not criminals. They keep up happy and healthy and fat.”

Last week, Trump reportedly told ICE to pause most raids at agricultural facilities and hospitality venues.

The federal governments in now rendering some thought to the problem of illegal immigrants without criminal records.

Sweeping immigration enforcement efforts were hurting some industries including agriculture, hospitality and dining industries.

I hope the federal government resolves the problem of illegal immigrants without criminal record and the deportation threats subside in these immigrants and their families.
