Media learned of winemakers preparing for a "war" with Trump over immigration policy
Winemakers from the United States are preparing for a "war" with President Donald Trump over his migration policy. This was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle (SFC) on January 28.
The organization Puertas Abiertas, which protects the interests of the Latino community in Napa Valley (a wine-growing area in California), said that the American leader is now much more serious about deporting migrants than during his first presidential term. In California's Kern County this month, for example, the U.S. Border Patrol conducted a raid against migrants that resulted in 78 arrests.
"People are very, very scared. It feels like we're preparing for war," Puertas Abiertas board member Genesis Monnet told the San Francisco Chronicle.
The San Francisco Chronicle writes that Trump's immigration policy could hurt California's wine industry. In Napa Valley, 73% of agricultural workers are reportedly migrants.
Earlier, on January 28, it was reported that the US immigration service made about 1 ,200 arrests in one day, and almost half of the detainees have no criminal record.
Prior to that, on January 24, Mississippi authorities offered to pay to catch and deport illegals. "The program of certified bounty hunters" assumes that detectives will be officially registered and receive $1 thousand for each successful deportation of a border crosser.
On the same day, it became known that after Trump took office, the number of southern border crossings in the U.S. dropped sharply by 35%.
On January 20, immediately after his inauguration, Trump signed more than 200 new executive orders. Among them, the introduction of a state of emergency on the border with Mexico. In addition, the American president repeatedly stated that he was going to cancel the granting of American citizenship by birthright.
