Idaho dairy farmers fear Trump immigration crackdown will reach farms
Original: Trump's immigration push has largely spared farms. Idaho dairymen worry it won't last. https://www.npr.org/2026/09/28/nx
President Trump's immigration enforcement has so far largely avoided agricultural workplaces, but dairy farmers in Idaho are worried the exemption will not hold. Dairies depend heavily on immigrant labor and cannot easily replace workers, and growers say a crackdown on farms would threaten milk production and their livelihoods.
Why now: New reporting highlights anxiety in farm communities that immigration enforcement could soon extend to agricultural workers.
