The Take: What do mass ICE raids mean for migrant farmworkers?

Al Jazeera13 hours ago
As President Trump cracks down in the fields on immigration, and an ICE raid in California left one farmworker dead, United States Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says there will be no amnesty for the undocumented. But who will replace those agricultural workers? 'Able-bodied' Medicaid recipients, according to Rollins. The experiment was tried before. It didn't work.

Do Africa's leaders have a ‘game plan' to deal with Trump?

Former African Union diplomat Arikana Chihombori argues that Trump's Africa policy is 'a step in the right direction'. Africa's leaders have no one to blame but themselves if they cannot reach equitable trade deals with the United States, argues the former representative of the African Union to the US, Arikana Chihombori-Quao. Chihombori-Quao tells host Steve Clemons that US President Donald Trump's 'trade, not aid' policy opens up 'an opportunity that African leaders were not awarded by the colonisers, the European nations, when they set out to exploit the continent of Africa'. She adds that African leaders should not allow themselves to be bullied by Trump, 'because he has what you need, you also have what he wants'.
