What happened

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller stated that recent ICE raids in Kansas caused beef prices to increase. Miller noted that ICE raided three packing plants in Kansas, which led to cattle backing up and ranchers receiving $3-$500 less per head for their beef. He also referenced Donald Trump's past policy of cracking down on illegals, which previously impacted dairies.
