Trump Administration Immigration Policy Impacts Labor Market in Baltimore
What happened
The administration of Donald Trump has been releasing statistics regarding migrant arrests, with DHS data showing nearly 51,000 detentions recorded in August, up from 50,208 in July. Increased operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement are reportedly causing strain on the labor market in Baltimore. One business owner reported losing employees due to the fear of immigration agents, noting that a sous chef from Honduras had to leave after her work permit became worthless following the end of Temporary Protected Status.
