In June 2025, the Trump administration announced it is developing a "temporary pass" for certain migrant workers in agriculture and hospitality. This initiative aims to allow these workers to legally remain in the United States while contributing to the economy.
This represents a shift from the administration's previous hardline stance on immigration. Earlier in the year, the President suggested farmers could petition to retain some undocumented workers, provided they temporarily leave and re-enter legally.
However, as of July 4, 2025, no concrete policy changes are underway. The White House has not confirmed any new initiatives, and no alterations to current deportation policies have been reported. The proposed pass seeks to address labor shortages in key sectors.
