US immigration officials told to largely pause raids on farms, hotels, NYT reports

[Dulcinea]

(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has told immigration officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, the New York Times reported on Friday.

The report cited an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance.

"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” Tatum King, a senior official at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in guidance to regional leaders of the department, the Times added.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance to the Times and said: “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."

1. Trump must be receiving some big bribes from these industries.

What about construction sites? They are being raided too.

5. To that I say, Amen.

Bribery comes easy for these people. And who better to bribe than one caught up in his own mistakes! Wonder how many of HIS undocumented workers he's deported. Maybe we should demand a reckoning?!

7. Of course all of Trump immigrant labor is untouched.

He uses the law to protect himself and to punish and control everyone else.

2. Worse criminals made up charges bullshit..............

Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, AG, and the GQP are falsifying charges on many of the immigrants. Hope karma hits these assholes.

And these people lie, I'll bet they will continue to round up immigrants from farms, hotels. Hell they will go on Sunday and round them up from churches.

Rounding them up from hospitals, courts, streets.

1929 all over again.

6. Churches, homes, hospitals, courts, and the street

are fair game for these devils. But damn! trump might get blamed for the lack of food in our grocery stores. He can't have that! Especially not when he's raking in scads of dollars or bitcoins from those with vested interests in seeing THEIR undocumented employees don't get deported!

Each one of those people should be arrested and charged with illegally hiring and employing undocumented workers. THEY should be the ones going to prison. Not the poor immigrant just trying to feed his family. Does anyone REALLY believe the worst of the worst criminals are immigrants, when we have so much violence and mass killings by white, male Americans?
