"Broader trends in consumer demand likely contributed to slowing job growth in those industries that are more exposed to undocumented workers (construction, leisure and hospitality, and other services). "

“There’s been a crisis in farm labor for some time, and it certainly would be exacerbated by immigration enforcement.”

"That poses a huge threat to immigrant-dependent industries, like agriculture, which has been dealing with an acute labor shortage."

“The construction inflow of potential workers has been turned off.”

"Increased labor woes has caused restaurant closures, reduced hours, more turnover and higher costs, "

“With many undocumented construction workers self-deporting or simply not showing up to work anymore even though they remain in the country, many of these contractors haven’t replaced that talent.”

"A sudden contraction of that workforce would likely drive up food prices, exacerbate housing shortages, and strain already overburdened health care systems."

"Restaurants, construction and landscaping businesses have lost a combined 315,000 immigrant workers through August this year, more than any other industries. "

"Labor shortages, the closure of successful businesses, the loss of tax revenue from immigrants, and a drop in consumer spending are some of the consequences economists are warning about, which were already being felt in 2025 and are expected to worsen in 2026."

"Mass deportations would cause labor shortages in vital industries like agriculture, housing, and health care—raising costs for all Americans."

Will Current US Immigration Policy Have a Measurable Economic Impact on Industries Such as Agriculture, Construction & Hospitality?

President Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday urging ICE officers to resume traffic stops, writing "we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!" and instructing agents to be "judicious, fair and smart."

President Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday urging ICE officers to resume traffic stops, writing "we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!" and instructing agents to be "judicious, fair and smart."

Border czar Tom Homan described the suspension as a "short-term review" and said ICE would continue to conduct record arrests. An administration official said agents needed additional training on vehicle stops before resuming the practice.

The directive reversed a pause on most ICE vehicle stops ordered Tuesday by DHS following the fatal shootings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine. Neither man was the intended target of the enforcement operations, sources said.

At least 10 deaths have occurred during encounters with immigration agents since the start of the Trump administration's deportation campaign, with at least four involving people in vehicles. A third death in roughly a week occurred Tuesday in Florida, when a man fleeing federal officers was struck by a tractor trailer.

DHS said the officer who shot Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national with work authorization, fired while "fearing for public safety" after the man attempted to flee in his vehicle. The officers involved did not have body cameras.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine contacted DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to urge a pause on non-urgent vehicle stops following the shootings. Bipartisan calls emerged for independent investigations and a faster rollout of body cameras to ICE officers.
