After complaints from farm and hotel owners, Trump said he may halt ICE raids in those industries. If he does, experts say he will struggle to meet his goal of 3,000 detentions a day.

Trump’s efforts to constrain immigration during his first term played out in a similar fashion; by 2019, the unemployment rate had dropped to 3.5%, its lowest level since 1969, with earnings up 3.5% from 2018. Meanwhile, economic growth slowed to 2.3%, down from 2.9% the year prior, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
