On Friday, President Donald Trump gave an update on assisting what he called "reputable farmers" amid sweeping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) deportation raids. Trump suggested a change was on the way for undocumented immigrant farm workers, saying that farmers themselves may be able to take responsibility for them.

In a week where his administration has paused, and then unpaused, immigration raids on farms and agricultural businesses, President Trump indicated on Friday that he would support a system where farms could continue to employ undocumented workers so long as they took “responsibility” for those they hired.
