The Department of Homeland Security under new Secretary Markwayne Mullin is meeting with business groups concerned about labour losses from aggressive immigration enforcement, reversing the previous administration's stance of dismissing such concerns. Arrests have spiked whilst officials attempt to rebuild relationships with sectors dependent on immigrant workers.
