One Department of Homeland Security official with knowledge of the email said that agents had felt the pressure for more arrests and that the guidance took them by surprise. Agents were still digesting the long-term implications without a direct signal from the White House about how to carry out the new guidance, the official said.
Mr. King seemed to acknowledge that the new guidance would hurt the quest for higher numbers of arrests.
“We acknowledge that by taking this off the table, that we are eliminating a significant # of potential targets,” he wrote.

President Donald Trump admitted that his increasingly aggressive immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and the hotel and leisure industry and said "common sense" changes are coming.
The president's comments drew praise from Arizona agriculture and hospitality leaders, who have long complained about chronic labor shortages and the need for Congress to pass immigration reforms that would allow more immigrants to enter the country legally, rather than illegally, to fill jobs many Americans are unwilling to do.
Trump posted on Truth Social on June 12 that farmers and people in the hospitality and leisure industries have said that "our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace."

Trump said during a news conference later in the day that an order is coming that would help farmers and the hotel and leisure industry hold onto their workers, without providing specifics.
"We're going to have an order on that pretty soon I think we can't do that to our farmers and leisure too hotels. We're gonna have to use a lot of common sense on that," Trump said.
