Companies Warn SEC That Mass Deportations Pose Serious Business Risk
Jun 16, 2025 4:16 PM Since Trump took office, ICE arrests have more than doubled. Business throughout the US economy are sounding the alarm on the potential impact. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detain a suspect during a multi-agency targeted enforcement operation in Lyons, Illinois, US, on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025. Photograph:As the Trump administration executes an aggressive deportation campaign across the United States, a growing number of US companies warn the crackdown could threaten their operations. Since January of this year, more than forty companies have mentioned the impact of deportations in filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission, with many saying it could hurt the labor force, increase the risk of a recession, or create more economic uncertainty, according to seventy-four filings reviewed by WIRED. The impacted industries span a wide cross-section of the US economy, including food production, tech, and construction. 'Many farms employ hard-working, non-criminal employees who have not yet achieved legal citizenship,' reads one filing from ImmuCell, which develops and sells drugs for animals in the beef and dairy industries. 'Significant deportations of these individuals could have a negative impact on the operations of our customers and of our source farms.' It's highly unusual for companies to mention deportations in filings to the SEC. Between June of 2020 and January of 2025, just six SEC filings mentioned deportations. From June of 2015 to January of 2025, that number rose to just 22. Since taking office, however, President Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a cornerstone of his policy agenda. White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller has instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to work toward a minimum of 3,000 arrests of undocumented immigrants daily, and the agency has been orchestrating raids at workplaces, outside elementary schools, and even inside people's homes. The highly visible deportation campaign has sparked nationwide anti-ICE protests, and helped energize the 'No Kings' demonstrations that swept the country this past weekend. The Trump administration has reportedly told ICE to scale back its workplace raids, in part due to concerns over how they are affecting the agriculture, hospitality, and restaurant industries. Zevin Asset Management, a 'socially-responsible' investment firm that owns shares in Google's parent company Alphabet, said in a proposal on behalf of two investors that mass deportations should prompt Alphabet to have a better 'due diligence process' to determine whether its businesses "contributes to human rights harms in conflict-affected and high-risk areas.' Google's work as 'one of the leading cloud computing providers' to ICE, US Customs and Border Protection, and the US government at large raised concerns of a 'potential complicity in human rights harms,' happening at the US Southern border, the proposal claims. 'These abuses include the separation of children from their parents, arbitrary arrests and detentions, poor detention conditions, and unlawful deportations to countries with poor human rights records,' the proposal claims. Most of the other filings mention deportations in relation to risks to future business or net income. Hawaiian Electric, the primary electricity provider of Hawaii, said in its SEC filing that 'recession risks increase due to federal policies and actions, including trade policies, mass deportations, and spending cuts.' The filing cited an economic forecast from the University of Hawaii published in May, which predicted 'limited GDP growth for 2025 and a contraction in 2026, marking Hawaii's first recession since the pandemic.' Other filings suggested a recession could come even earlier. The community bank Hanmi Bank, under its holding company Hanmi Financial Corp., said in an SEC filing that 'the combination of tariffs, rising inflation, deportations, global political unrest and tensions, and reduced credit availability' could cause 'a mild recession in 2025.' Some companies said that deportations could fuel labor shortages. Century Communities, a homebuilding company, said in its 2024 annual report that if it's unable to hire enough skilled tradesmen and contractors, it "may have a material adverse effect on our standards of service." 'Labor shortages may be caused by, among other factors, slowing rates of immigration and/or increased deportations since a substantial portion of the construction labor force is made up of immigrants,' the filing says. A few companies mentioned deportations but said that they aren't sure how the crackdown will impact their business. The holding companies for banks Bridgewater Bancshares, Heartland Bank and Trust Company, and Heritage Bank, for example, mention mass deportations in a list of factors that could affect their 'forward looking statements,' which predict how well the banks may perform in the coming months. However, the companies stopped short of saying whether deportations would harm or help their businesses. Other companies said that deportations present some risk to the economy, but noted they do not expect it to cause widespread damage or hurt their business. In a filing for Forum Investment Group's real estate income fund, the firm said that 'stricter immigration controls and deportations' could have mixed outcomes. The filing claims these policies could increase inflation, but possibly be a 'boon for U.S. workers (higher wages)' or cool down 'overheated housing markets.' Some companies argued that their businesses could be at risk if their customers are affected by deportations. Pacific Airport Group, which operates through airports in Mexico and Jamaica, said that policies like mass deportations and restrictions on international travel would hugely impact airport traffic, and therefore the company's bottom line. 'These measures could create uncertain economic conditions in Mexico, affecting leisure, visiting friends and relatives, and business travel, to and from the country,' the filing says. Meanwhile, the cloud communications and financial services company IDT Corporation said that mass deportations could 'negatively impact' its enterprise customers, like the remittance transfer service BOSS Money, and the money transfer and international call servicing company BOSS Revolution. Anything that disrupts people's ability to work or travel outside their country of origin, IDT claimed, could hurt customers and therefore its business. The discount store chain Pricesmart, which operates throughout Central America, said that mass deportations could have a devastating effect on an entire region. If there's a major reduction in foreign workers sending money to their families in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, those nations' economies would suffer, and so would Pricesmart stores, the filing said. Money from foreign workers, the company warns, is 'a key source of income and poverty alleviation for millions of families.'

Trial opens for lawsuit against pardoned Capitol riot defendant over police officer's suicide
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine days after he helped defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of Trump supporters, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith shot and killed himself while driving to work. Over four years later, Smith's widow is trying to prove to a jury that one of the thousands of rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is responsible for her husband's suicide. The trial for Erin Smith's wrongful death lawsuit against David Walls-Kaufman started nearly six months after President Donald Trump torpedoed the largest investigation in FBI history. Trump pardoned, commuted prison sentences or ordered the dismissal of cases for all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in the attack. But his sweeping act of clemency didn't erase Smith's lawsuit against Walls-Kaufman, a 69-year-old chiropractor who pleaded guilty to Capitol riot-related misdemeanor in January 2023. A federal jury in Washington, D.C., began hearing testimony Monday for a civil trial expected to last roughly one week. Erin Smith, the trial's first witness, recalled packing a lunch for her husband and kissing him as he headed off to work on Jan. 15, 2021, for the first time after the riot. 'I told him I loved him, said I would see him when he got home,' she testified. Within hours, police officers knocked on her door and informed her that her husband was dead. She was stunned to learn that he shot himself with his service revolver in his own car. 'It was the most traumatic words I've ever heard,' she recalled. 'You just don't know what to do.' Smith's lawsuit claims Walls-Kaufman scuffled with her 35-year-old husband and struck him with his own police baton inside the Capitol, causing psychological and physical trauma that led to his suicide. Smith had no history of mental health problems before the Jan. 6 riot, but his mood and behavior changed after suffering a concussion, according to his wife and parents. Walls-Kaufman, who lived near the Capitol, denies assaulting Smith. He says any injuries that the officer suffered on Jan. 6 occurred later in the day, when another rioter threw a pole that struck Smith around his head. Walls-Kaufman's attorney, Hughie Hunt, urged jurors to 'separate emotion' and concentrate on the facts of the case. 'This is tragic, but that doesn't place anything at the foot of my client,' Hunt said during the trial's opening statements. Smith's body camera captured video of his scuffle. Richard Link, one of his wife's lawyers, said a frame-by-frame review of the video will show a baton strike move Smith's helmeted head back and forth from the blow. Link said Erin Smith is seeking 'some modicum of justice' for herself and her husband. 'Time stood still' for her after his death, Link added. 'My client is still living with the events of that,' he told jurors. The police department medically evaluated Smith and cleared him to return to full duty before he killed himself. Hunt said there is no evidence that his client intentionally struck Smith. 'The claim rests entirely on ambiguous video footage subject to interpretation and lacks corroborating eyewitness testimony,' Hunt wrote. Erin Smith's attorneys argue that Walls-Kaufman's pardon doesn't nullify the admissions that he made in pleading guilty to a criminal charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Two years ago, a judge sentenced Walls-Kaufman to 60 days behind bars. The outcome of his criminal case upset Smith's relatives, who questioned why the Justice Department didn't bring felony assault charges against Walls-Kaufman. In 2022, The District of Columbia Police and Firefighters' Retirement and Relief Board determined that Smith was injured during the line-of-duty injury was the 'sole and direct cause of his death,' according to the lawsuit. Erin Smith testified that he was still in pain and was nervous about returning to work on the day that he killed himself. 'He was fearful that something else was going to happen in the city, especially with the inauguration (of President Joe Biden ) coming up,' she said. 'As his wife, I just tried to be as supportive as I could.' On the witness stand, Smith wore the same shoes that she had on at their wedding in 2019. 'To remember the happy times,' she said through tears. 'And to have a piece of him here with me.' Erin Smith also sued another former Jan. 6 defendant, Taylor Taranto, whose Capitol riot charges were dismissed after Trump's Jan. 20 proclamation. She claims Taranto helped Kaufman escape from police. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes temporarily suspended Smith's claims against Taranto, who was jailed for nearly two years before he was convicted of gun and hoax bomb threat charges in May. The presidential pardon didn't cover those charges. More than 100 law-enforcement officers were injured during the riot. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick collapsed and died a day after after engaging with the rioters. A medical examiner later determined he suffered a stroke and died of natural causes. Howard Liebengood, a Capitol police officer who responded to the riot, also died by suicide after the attack.
