Trump to examine all options for farm workers, agriculture secretary says
Jun 12, 2025 11:54 AM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said President Donald Trump would look at every available tool to address farm workers amid his ongoing immigration crackdown, but that Congress would need to make most of the changes.

"The president understands that we can't feed our nation or the world without that labor force, and he's listening to the farmers on that," Rollins told CNBC in an interview following Trump's announcement earlier on Thursday that he would issue an order soon addressing workers in the agriculture, hotel and leisure sectors.
