Trump officials reverse pause on immigration raids targeting farms and hotels

The Trump administration is reportedly reversing a recently formulated plan to refrain from conducting immigration raids against undocumented migrants in the agricultural, hotel, and restaurant industries, just days after adopting the original policy.
The Department of Homeland Security announced the return to raids on such workers on a Monday morning call with representatives from 30 Immigration and Customs Enforcement field offices, The Washington Post reports.
The Independent has contacted DHS for comment.
Late last week, the department announced it would be pausing worksite enforcement and investigation operations across the industries in question, after the president admitted his attempts to rapidly deport millions of people were draining workers from those sectors.

Trump goes along with the last person he talks to. So the raids resume on Monday, unless someone gets to him - again.[/i[
