Advocacy Alert

National: ICE Resumes Enforcement in Key Sectors


Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently ended a brief pause on enforcement in key labor sectors—including farms, restaurants, hotels, and meatpacking. The change has prompted concern among agricultural and food industry leaders about potential labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and rising food costs.

National: U.S. Economy Contracts in Q1, Signaling Caution for Local Businesses


The U.S. economy shrank by 0.5% in the first quarter of 2025, a revision from an earlier 0.2% figure, according to the Commerce Department. The decline was driven by weaker consumer spending and a spike in imports ahead of anticipated tariffs. A slowing economy may signal reduced discretionary spending, impacting retail, dining, and service sectors. Business owners should monitor consumer trends and prepare for potential softening in demand heading into the second half of the year.
