US farm secretary says 'no amnesty' for farmworkers from deportation
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Tuesday that there will be “no amnesty” for undocumented farmworkers, reaffirming the Trump administration’s push to remove all immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Despite warnings from the farm sector about the potential impact on the food supply, Rollins said the goal is a fully American workforce, suggesting automation and Medicaid recipients could fill labor gaps. She also confirmed plans to limit foreign ownership of farmland, with an executive order expected soon.
