Washington, D.C. (June 12, 2025)–“I want to commend President Trump for today’s statements recognizing the indispensable role of long‑time foreign‑born farm workers in U.S. agriculture. During his press briefing, he acknowledged that recent aggressive immigration enforcement is stripping farms of experienced labor that can’t easily be replaced — and he signaled that ‘changes are coming’ to strike a balance between protecting American farmers and targeting criminal elements.
“NCFC believes that the changes the President refers to must, at the end of the day, lead to the end of widespread enforcement actions on farms and at ag processing facilities that are not targeting violent criminals.”
