"The Trump administration has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants..."

"... according to an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance.... The new guidance comes after protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration raids, including at farms and businesses.... On Thursday, Mr. Trump acknowledged that the crackdown might be alienating industries he wanted to keep on his side. 'Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,' he said on social media.... Mr. Trump has for decades owned luxury hotels, an industry with a strong immigrant labor force.... The guidance did not appear to rule out raids at work sites in other industries, like the one at a garment factory in Los Angeles that sparked the protests...."
