TACO Trump Ditches Most of Miller’s Immigration Round-Up

At the end of a long week dominated by the Trump administration’s anti-immigration crackdown—and nationwide protests mounted in response to targeted Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids—the president has suddenly reversed course.

In a truly stunning about-face, The New York Times reports that Trump has instructed ICE officials to pause any raids on the agriculture and hospitality industries. It’s a move that suggests the president’s hardline stance was costing him support in key industries, and with constituents he does not want to lose.

Now, those changes are here—and the message is clear: Trump’s commitment to his own anti-immigration agenda cannot withstand pressure from his supporters to stop the damage being done to their bottom line.

Instructions regarding ICE’s change in enforcement rules were emailed by senior ICE official Tatum King to regional ICE department heads on Thursday. It read, “Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels.”

It is unclear how the change will affect senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller’s plan for ICE to perform a minimum of 3,000 arrests per day. In recent weeks, ICE has conducted raids at restaurants, factories, and stores across the country, including raids at Home Depot stores across Southern California.

King acknowledged that the change in policy would impair the agency’s ability to implement Miller’s vision, writing, “We acknowledge that by taking this off the table, that we are eliminating a significant # of potential targets.”

EXCERPT

So do those fired guys who weren't meeting Miller's quota get their jobs back?
