· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Meatpacking groups in the U.S. are raising alarms about recent ICE immigration raids in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, which have led to employee absences and operational disruptions. The Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, and Kansas Livestock Association reported that these actions have delayed shipments of thousands of cattle, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue. With beef prices already at historic highs due to a shrinking national herd, these raids could further increase costs for consumers. Community members in Kansas have noted a rise in ICE activity, causing fear and affecting local businesses.
