The remarks come after Immigration and Customs Enforcement reversed guidance earlier this week to pause operations at certain worksites.

People with criminal backgrounds will be a priority for immigration enforcement officials, the border czar said.

One ICE raid left a New Mexico dairy with just 20 workers, down from 55. “You can’t turn off cows,’’ said Beverly Idsinga, the executive director of the Dairy Producers of New Mexico. “They need to be milked twice a day, fed twice a day.’’

The business is owned by Boyd Gaming, which was once considered a competitor to Donald Trump during his time as a casino operator.

Monday’s reversal of that guidance comes after Trump posted on Truth Social over the weekend that he wants to “expand efforts to detain and deport illegal Aliens in America’s largest cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”
