After complaints from farm and hotel owners, Trump said he may halt ICE raids in those industries. If he does, experts say, he will struggle to meet his goal of 3,000 detentions a day.

The Department of Homeland Security reversed course on guidance limiting immigration raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants on Monday, according to a source familiar with the discussions — the latest example of whiplash for an agency tasked with carrying out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

The shift suggests Trump's promise of mass deportations has limits if it threatens industries that rely on workers in the country illegally.
