ICE to Resume Raids on Farms, Hotels & Restaurants, Reversing Trump Pledge

HeadlineJun 17, 2025

The Department of Homeland Security has instructed immigration agents to continue raiding farms, hotels and restaurants, reversing a call by President Trump just days ago to exempt those industries. The Washington Post reports that Trump adviser Stephen Miller opposed making any exceptions for specific industries, despite warnings from business leaders about the economic fallout of the raids.
Meanwhile, federal agents are continuing to carry out raids in and around Los Angeles. On Saturday, dozens of armed masked agents raided a popular flea market outside of L.A.
