“… The Trump administration’s sweeping deportationsthreaten a symbiotic and contentious relationship that stretches back decades. The laborers provide a service for Home Depot’s customers—contractors and homeowners—in need of help on construction projects. Officially, Home Depot doesn’t endorse the activities.

Home Depot has long had a “no solicitation” policy. It means that laborers can only gather off store property, a Home Depot spokeswoman said.

… The company has been criticized by both pro- and anti-immigrant camps. Some groups have attacked Home Depot for acting as a facilitator for an undocumented workforce; other groups have pressed the company to do more to make these workers’ conditions better. …”

Home Depot has WAY more gangbanging criminals than hotels, restaurants and farms, good call.

Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries​

The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Mr. Trump’s presidency suggested his broad immigration crackdown was hurting industries and constituencies he does not want to lose.


“… The new guidance comes after protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration raids, including at farms and businesses. It also came as Mr. Trump made a rare concession this week that his crackdown was hurting American farmers and hospitality businesses.

The guidance was sent on Thursday in an email by a senior ICE official, Tatum King, to regional leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations, including work site operations, known as Homeland Security Investigations.

“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” he wrote in the message.

The email explained that investigations involving “human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK.” But it said — crucially — that agents were not to make arrests of “noncriminal collaterals,” a reference to people who are undocumented but who are not known to have committed any crime.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance.…”

I remember a time conservatives decried when government picked private sector winners and losers.

ICE has quotas to make, but the man issuing the quota says they can't fish in the stocked lakes anymore. I am guessing a lot of brown people are going to get yanked off streets.

Construction sites are still fair game, right?

. . .. This is just a second iteration of Trump telling ICE to steer clear of the agricultural industry.

This "agriculture industry" of which you speak, would that include the guys who cut my grass. Anytime I have used anyone with an American accent to cut my grass, they did a terrible job. Never had any idea when or if my grass was going to be cut. But folks with an Hispanic accent always show up regularly, promptly, and do a great job. I do not want to start cutting my own grass again. The person I would be doing it for, my wife, is a perfectionist and my efforts always fell short of her expectations.

Well…..you have an American accent……you’d be stupid to hire yourself to do yard work or construction.
 
WSJ Editorial Board:

A Legal Ambush Against Dreamers​

The White House and Texas GOP imitate the left’s ‘sue and settle’ strategy to punish young adults brought to the U.S. illegally as children.​


🎁—> https://www.wsj.com/opinion/texas-d...d?st=92zzfF&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

“Is cruelty part of the White House strategy for mass deportation? Sometimes it appears so, and a case in point is the legal ambush to deny in-state tuition to the so-called Dreamers.

… Immigration restrictionists claim the tuition break encourages illegal migration and results in undocumented students taking the admissions slots of citizens. But Dreamers have to meet the same admission standards as state residents, and the tuition discount encourages assimilation and academic achievement. Do they really think child migrants have rushed across the border so they can pay a lower cost to attend a Texas public college?

Enter the Trump Department of Justice, which recently sued Texas to block the tuition break. DOJ claims the Texas program violates a 1996 law that says “an alien who is not lawfully present . . . shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State . . . for any postsecondary education benefit” unless U.S. citizens from other states are eligible for the same benefit.

No President has sought to enforce this law, and one reason is it likely violates the Constitution’s anti-commandeering doctrine. That’s the principle that the federal government cannot compel states to take or not take certain actions. The Supreme Court in 2018 cited these grounds to strike down a federal law that barred states from legalizing sports gambling.

Rather than defend the law, Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton immediately struck a settlement with DOJ to enjoin the tuition law, which was blessed the same day by a federal court. This rapid-fire “sue and settle” ploy—a longtime tactic of the environmental left—prevented third parties from intervening in court to defend the law.

… The White House goal seems to be to make Dreamers feel unwelcome and limit their opportunity so they leave the country voluntarily. But many of these young adults have no recollection about the country their parents migrated from as they’ve spent most of their lives here. Mark this down as another example of how the new right imitates the old left’s anti-democratic power plays.…”
