The Trump administration has resumed workplace immigration arrests across agriculture, hotel, and restaurant sectors, according to CNBC. The move reverses a brief pause enacted just six days ago. Department of Homeland Security official Tricia McLaughlin said industries that harbor violent criminals or obstruct ICE will have “no safe spaces” from enforcement. McLaughlin said worksite enforcement remains central to DHS immigration policy, targeting illegal employment networks that harm U.S. workers and critical infrastructure. ICE had previously paused operations following business complaints and concerns over meeting monthly arrest quotas. By Tuesday morning, the White House stated that anyone in the U.S. illegally is at risk of deportation, contradicting the earlier pause in worksite arrests.
