Fresno leaders warn ICE arrests could hurt Central Valley economy
Fresno business and civic leaders are warning that intensified ICE arrests could damage the Central Valley economy, which depends heavily on immigrant labor in agriculture and related industries. They argue that widespread detentions are creating fear among workers, keeping people off the job and raising costs for growers and other employers across the region.
Why now: Immigration enforcement is expanding in a region whose economy relies on immigrant workers, raising concerns about labor shortages and economic losses.
