Fact check: Factcheck ICE reanuda redadas en los campos, restaurantes y hoteles revirtiendo su excepción de operativos.

Checked on June 21, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses overwhelmingly confirm that ICE has resumed raids in farms, restaurants, and hotels, reversing previous exemptions for these workplace operations. Multiple sources from June 17-20, 2025 support this claim:

  • The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially revoked the measure that exempted ICE operations in restaurants, farms, and hotels [1] [2] [3]
  • DHS notified its employees that the previous order was no longer in effect [4]
  • The Trump administration reversed an order that had suspended temporary raids on key workplaces [1] [5]

However, there are contradictory sources from earlier dates (June 14-16, 2025) that reported the opposite - that the Trump government had ordered ICE to halt raids in farms, restaurants and hotels [6] [7]. This timeline suggests a policy reversal occurred between mid-June and late June 2025.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks several crucial pieces of context:

  • Official justification: DHS Undersecretary Tricia McLaughlin stated that "there will be no safe spaces for industries that harbor violent criminals or deliberately attempt to undermine immigration control measures" and that "workplace law enforcement remains a cornerstone of the campaign to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability" [8] [9] [3]
  • Economic and social impact: The policy reversal has led to increased fear among undocumented migrants and their families, who are asking to be allowed to work [5]. There are also potential economic impacts mentioned [2]
  • Geographic scope: The new policy is part of calls for more raids in sanctuary cities like Los Angeles and Chicago [4]
  • Policy limitations: The new policy does not prohibit ICE officers from arresting employees from these industries in their communities, only at their workplaces [10]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears factually accurate based on the most recent sources. However, it lacks important temporal context that could be misleading:

  • The statement doesn't clarify that this represents a recent policy reversal - earlier in June 2025, the Trump administration had actually halted these same raids [6] [7]
  • Without this timeline context, readers might not understand that this is a flip-flop in policy rather than a continuation of existing practices
  • The statement doesn't mention the official rationale provided by DHS officials, which could lead to incomplete understanding of the government's stated justification for the policy change

The statement is technically correct but could benefit from additional context about the recent policy changes and official justifications provided by the Trump administration.
