Idaho dairy farmers fear Trump immigration crackdown will reach farms
Original: Trump's immigration push has largely spared farms. Idaho dairymen worry it won't last. https://www.npr.org/2026/09/28/nx
President Trump's immigration enforcement has so far largely avoided the agricultural sector, but dairy farmers in Idaho are worried that the reprieve will not hold. Dairies rely heavily on immigrant labor, and industry members say losing workers to deportation or raids could disrupt milk production and threaten the viability of farms across the state.
Why now: Concern is growing in farm communities that immigration enforcement could soon extend to agricultural workers.
