Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries
Very disappointing. At about the same time as Trump was involved in giving the Iranians a false sense of security despite his supposed break with Netanyahu and his many anti-war declarations (see Glenn Greenwald’s previously posted video), he backtracks on immigration enforcement. The long-term result will be further demographic shifts toward Third Worldism and further deterioration of White political power as the illegals become citizens, get married, have citizen children, etc. Somehow parts of the country that have thus far escaped the onslaught manage to find workers for farms, restaurants, and hotels.
Yet another example of the weakness of democratic systems where politicians fail to take a long-term view of the country’s interests because they are subject to pressure from various groups, particularly from billionaire donors like Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson (Adelson gave Trump $100 M in 2024 and Perlmutter has donated millions for Trump’s campaigns; both Perlmutter and Adelson reportedly called Trump to urge U.S. involvement in Israel’s war against Iran).
My optimism about Trump 2.o has given way to cynicism and doubt—which seem to be the only sane default position on American politics. Nothing will change despite all the promises.
Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries
The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Mr. Trump’s presidency suggested his broad immigration crackdown was hurting industries and constituencies he does not want to lose.
The decision suggested that the scale of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign — an issue that is at the heart of his presidency — is hurting industries and constituencies that he does not want to lose.
The new guidance comes after protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration raids, including at farms and businesses. It also came as Mr. Trump made a rare concession this week that his crackdown was hurting American farmers and hospitality businesses.
The guidance was sent on Thursday in an email by a senior ICE official, Tatum King, to regional leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations, including work site operations, known as Homeland Security Investigations.
“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” he wrote in the message.
The email explained that investigations involving “human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK.” But it said — crucially — that agents were not to make arrests of “noncriminal collaterals,” a reference to people who are undocumented but who are not known to have committed any crime.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance.
“We will follow the president’s direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America’s streets,” Tricia McLaughlin, a department spokeswoman, said in a statement.
For months, Mr. Trump and his aides have said they would target all immigrants without legal status in the United States to make good on his campaign promise for mass deportations. While the administration came into office saying it would initially target undocumented immigrants with criminal records, it has in recent weeks expanded to raiding work sites and sweeping up other undocumented immigrants broadly.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump acknowledged that the crackdown might be alienating industries he wanted to keep on his side.
“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” he said on social media.
Mr. Trump posted after Brooke Rollins, the secretary of agriculture, informed him of farmers who were concerned about the ICE enforcement affecting their businesses, according to a White House official and a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Trump has for decades owned luxury hotels, an industry with a strong immigrant labor force.
A former Trump administration official added that throughout his first term, Mr. Trump often heard concerns from some Republicans from rural states about how the immigration crackdown would hurt the agricultural industry.
The decision to scale back operations at work sites comes at a crucial time, and the implications of the guidance are still to be determined on the ground. The guidance did not appear to rule out raids at work sites in other industries, like the one at a garment factory in Los Angeles that sparked the protests.
In recent weeks, Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, has publicly pushed for a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day.
Following Mr. Miller’s comments, arrests shot up to over 2,000 a day last week, and in recent days and weeks, ICE officials have conducted operations at restaurants, factories and business across the country.
One Department of Homeland Security official with knowledge of the email said that agents had felt the pressure for more arrests and that the guidance took them by surprise. Agents were still digesting the long-term implications without a direct signal from the White House about how to carry out the new guidance, the official said.
Mr. King seemed to acknowledge that the new guidance would hurt the quest for higher numbers of arrests.
“We acknowledge that by taking this off the table, that we are eliminating a significant # of potential targets,” he wrote.
Bowing to the rioters. Impeach him now. He is a filtthy coward.
I suppose this means the end of deporting noncriminal aliens from “latinx” or “la rasa” countries which will most likely bring down number of arrests with 80 % to 90 %.
In many countries slaves have been used, and likewise cheap labour that is inflowing from other regions. This was I guess the case with Greece back in the days and the USA in it’s early days. Columbus did bring slaves that were gypsies and then there was the African slaves.
Can it bring upwards mobility for whites, possibly so due to differences in IQ. But people that have moved to the USA from mainly la raza and leaning regions are not doing less good in education than whites. They take up space there in accordance to their numbers, maning that over time the USA will continuously need to import or let people in from the aforementioned regions to fill up those job spaces due to the fact that the upwards mobility of the group is similar or equal to whites.
Which together with mixing between races and the fact that today 50 % OF PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 20 in the USA are non white. And a lot of people just claim to be white, most Arabs do for example and many Latin also. Hence I would assume maximum 45 % of people under 20 are white in the more traditional usage of the term. Most likely around 40 %.
And with racemixing at around 20 % for white that means in one generation (say 20 years) whites under the age of 20 will be maximum 36 % of this part of the population.
And with illegals staying it will probably be less.
Also whites have no distinct current clear culture to unite them. Which I do think is certainly a strategy by anti whites in the culture industry.
I suppose the whites that are currently addicted to opioids could be used to take these vacant spots if a deportation was to be at full force in the future.
But that would require someone with a harder stance than the current top politicians it seems.
Maybe a new ideology is needed alongside a new culture.
And a new approach to get people off drug addiction and usage.
Every time I see a Caucasian dopefiend begging at an intersection or nodding off on the sidewalk, I know that there’s a dusky alien doing a job the White layabout should be doing. Getting detoxed bums back to work might involve indentured servitude. If they were to work under free conditions, many consumers would carp about paying more for onions.
My resolve to slap boomers upside the head until they explicitly support Red State secession has not given way to cynicism and doubt, but has only been reinvigorated.
I suppose this may be due to a shift from the administration-
But does Trump know about it ?
The email was sent by : senior ICE official, Tatum King.
I.e. not even a trump close person.
I suppose ordinary people such as people visiting this sites and others can email the president of the USA and express their views.
Statistics and common see combined with good arguments and opinions can help, so why no try.
And why not inform people in your neighborhood about these changes maybe the will also contact the administration and make their voice heard. Same at work. Also there is of course social media. This doesn’t seem to controversial and both Facebook and x has a vide range of free speech now that should allow such information to spread.
Just some ideas. I do hope for change.
It may be Trump in action or it may be the deep state. It may be a combination. Regardless some people has worked to change his mind this may be latinx / la rasa interest organizations possibly in coordination with employers / companies that are more liberal on immigration that has effectively worked to change these policies.
Apparently there is now a lot of white flight from suburbs to “farther out fringe areas”.
“Exurban fringe”.
Hence people practice white flight when blacks move in (healthy and natural of course).
And they end up further away from cities.
When will whites in the USA recognize they are in a territorial struggle and the are loosing and the blacks and latinx / la rasa are in the cities and now apparently suburbs, laughing at them.

There was a decision in the Supreme Court upholding many parts of the “fair housing act” that forces local governments in the USA to measure segregation and work against it. If they do not follow these laws they loose state funding.
Hence local government is forced to work for white flight and against the white ethnical group.
This could be something for Trump and his administration to look at and possibly change. Maybe concerned citizens could write to him regarding the matter in a well written logical manner …
There are many concerned Whites here. Experience leads to cynicism with politicians that are looking for whatever turns them on. With the sitting President if is not money. And it is not the admiration and respect of the sort of men who read and write here.
‘Mr. King seemed to acknowledge that the new guidance would hurt the quest for higher numbers of arrests. “We acknowledge that by taking this off the table, that we are eliminating a significant # of potential targets,” he wrote.’
Donald Trump is aware of what his “spokesholes” are explaining to his workers.
Now, on concern for the hospitality industry. Do you think short-term vacation rentals like AIRBNB have hurt them or so-called homebuyer equity due to the degradation of neighborhoods? Renters generally tend to be an irritant and the younger of them where I live tend to prefer less than full-time employment and sharing single family homes including a renter subletting rooms where there is not the will to do anything about it. It is part of the South Africianization, as Edward Dutton put it the other day– the third-worldization– the Diversity as opposed to Standards as Jared Taylor put it in one of his hardest-hitting video productions.
In the 1960s, California’s Central Valley Thompson Seedless grape industry relied upon migrant farm labor for a couple of seasons each year. There was planting, pruning, picking and laying grapes out on paper to dry with “raisin-drying conditions” part of the weather report, etc. I recall busloads of farmworkers moving back and forth to Mexico a couple of times a year. There were other farm industries throughout California. And today, due to many changes including both improvements in vitaculture and enology and lowering standards in some wine industries, tremendous increases in per capita wine consumption even with mechanization, there is still a lot of such Manuel labor available. I remember in 1969, a tremendous pile of hundreds of discarded American-made bypass loppers on the west side of Fresno and was told it was cheaper to discard them, recycle them for the steel probably, than to keep track of and maintain them for the next pruning season. And those selling grapes in those days were making money managing labor that was not just willing but eager to travel and support families doing such work.
Name your industry from construction trades to tree work and government and public utility work. Cesar Chavez organized farm laborers and, like today, unions and non-profits probably ought to be paying taxes and not attracting communists and others inflating the value of Citizenship, etc.
As for drug addiction, consider alcohol and tobacco subsidies being part of the problem. I’ve heard that Prohibition didn’t work. And I look at the death statistics and think that quitting the above subsidies and taking a hard line on enforcement is at least as important as controlling immigration enforcement. But doing so is contrary to human nature and takes more character, cognitive ability including understanding brainwashing and how to weed it out of the mass media and education, integrity, strength, and other traits than we seem to have available willing to do the work and be unpopular for it.
Frequently, behind good men one finds good women. I’d say one would do better appealing to Donald Trump’s First Lady than to his cabinet. At least she has access to him and surely, he wants her respect more than that of those of us here who are disappointed that he seems to prefer the approval of those whose money he doesn’t need at this point. Were I Donald Trump’s lovely wife, I’d prefer to go down in history as the influential wife of a great president than the way that it looks like real as opposed to court historians are going to write what seemed most important to my spouse.

Thank you gentlemen. My sentiments precisely (though I had lost all faith in Trumpenstein early on during Trump 1.0).

Seems like Trump has ordered the ICE to go hard again.
But if they catch 3000 illegals a day for four years this will only result in around 4 million deportations or less.
And I heard that there were 21 million illegals entering during the Biden 4 years only and we have a lot before that I would assume. I will have to check these numbers though.
So regardless it will only be around 20 % of recent illegals. But I suppose that if the republicans win more elections and they keep the focus on the immigration issue it can have an effect.
