Takeaways from AP's report on how Trump's immigration crackdown resonates in the Texas Panhandle

  • In mid-April 2025, immigrant trucker Kevenson Jean left the Texas Panhandle believing it was his last work trip amid uncertain immigration status.
  • This followed early April emails from the Department of Homeland Security telling some legally residing immigrants, including Jean, to leave the United States immediately.
  • The Texas Panhandle’s meatpacking industry depends heavily on immigrant labor, with nearly half its workers foreign-born, many facing confusion over shifting legal protections.
  • Over 500,000 immigrants from countries including Cuba and Haiti faced the termination of their legal protections on April 24, but this action was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
  • This situation creates ongoing uncertainty for immigrants and local industries, with union leaders warning of repeated workforce turnover and community instability.
