What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Since an executive order was issued on January 20, 2025, directing federal agencies to aggressively enforce immigration laws, construction companies have faced significant labor shortages due to the crackdown. The Department of Homeland Security also rescinded previous guidelines limiting enforcement in protected areas like churches and schools. These issues are driving up labor costs and extending project timelines, which are then passed on to homebuyers and local governments.
