President Donald Trump on Thursday indicated he was planning an executive order to prevent the deportation of illegal alien farm and hotel workers.

The move comes amid ongoing riots in Los Angeles over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the city.

"We're gonna have an order on that pretty soon I think... and leisure too," he said. “They’ve been there for 20, 25 years and they’ve worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and everything else.”

Trump, for his part, insisted that if he deported longstanding farmworkers, the farmers would then hire the criminals whom he insisted President Joe Biden allowed in the country.
