The United Farm Workers Foundation (UFW), which advocates for farm workers and immigrants in the U.S., recently released a survey finding most farmworkers expressed increased worry about detention and deportation stemming from the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown. She leads the farmworker and immigrant worker rights team, providing legal services to farmworkers throughout Michigan. Last year, Michigan had nearly 16,000 H-2A positions certified for temporary visa workers to come,” she says. Galendez says the fear of detention and deportation also impacts employment conditions for farm workers with some employers delaying payment and wages. The UFW Foundation research surveyed 2,250 farm workers in 12 states, including Michigan.
