Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and food processing facilities are back on at least for now.

President Trump personally acknowledged in a post on his social media platform Truth Social that his “very aggressive” policies were ripping long-time workers from jobs that are “almost impossible to replace” The major policy reversal followed pleas from agri-food industry leaders to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and directly to Trump himself.

The US agri-food system in its current form needs immigrant workers in order to function.

The US must enact policy reform with a package that looks something like this: Modernize and expand the H-2A visa programme.

An estimated 50% (or more) of US farmworkers are undocumented.

These workers form the backbone of food production, yet live in fear of deportation.
