clear that this happened today and didnʻt take place before the "revised" guidance?
The original “policy” was arrest everyone.
Then last Friday? Saturday? The head of ag in the administration managed to get the “policy” reversed so farm workers (and hotel workers) would not be included in the arrests.
Today, an hour or two ago the “policy” was reversed again because someone else spoke last. (It’s widely accepted that whoever speaks last to HIM gets their recommendation enacted as “policy.” For what it’s worth. Minutes? Hours? Days?
How do you run a farm without knowing you have workers? Or operate a hotel? Young men who may or may not have graduated from high school in Na’alehu or Pahala are not going to drive 50 miles to lug 109 lbs sacks of coffee around.
Men from Mexico or Honduras will.
Young woman from the Philippines will clean hotel rooms, and a few from Puna who will catch the 2 hour bus ride in Hilo at 3:30 AM for the west side.
