ICE raids in South Texas have gutted the construction industry so badly that even Trump voters are

ICE raids in South Texas have gutted the construction industry so badly that even Trump voters are turning against the immigration crackdown. 🚨 Federal agents have been sweeping through construction sites across the Rio Grande Valley, raiding some companies ten to even fifteen times. Builders report a sixty percent drop in residential construction. One company lost over five million dollars in sales and laid off workers for the first time in forty years. Another filed for bankruptcy. A housing project that should have taken one year will now take three. Local businesses say fear is keeping entire communities at home, killing retail sales across the region. 📉 What makes this story striking is who is speaking out. These are not immigration activists. These are Trump voters who supported mass deportation until it destroyed their own livelihoods. They now say openly that the administration broke its promise. Builders say ICE agents showed up without warrants, detained workers with valid documentation, and operated without accountability. When they went to Washington asking for relief, they were told that unfenced sites count as public property, so no warrant is needed. That is not law enforcement, that is intimidation. For immigrants and asylum seekers, the lesson is clear. The communities that once cheered enforcement are learning what immigrant families have always known. These policies are about control, not safety. ⚖️ When even the people who once supported these raids are begging ICE to stop, it shows the system is not about protecting anyone. It is about making people afraid. I’m Brian Manning, and if you need help with an immigration case, send me the word “CONSULT” in a direct message.
