Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has characterized the long tail of the immigration raids as dealing “a body blow” to the city’s economy, with many people scared to go to school, work or out in their communities. Whole sectors of the economy can’t function without immigrant labor, the mayor said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants, the Washington Post reported late on Monday.
