ICE Crackdowns Impact Workplace Safety Perception Among U.S. Workers

Nearly 40% of U.S. workers report feeling less SAFE at work due to heightened ICE activity, according to a survey by EMCI Wireless. The study, which exclusively polled U.S. citizens, reveals a tangible erosion of workplace security under current immigration enforcement policies.

Immigration raids, border enforcement escalations, and revoked protected statuses under the TRUMP administration have created a climate of fear. Joycelyn David, a multicultural communications expert, notes absenteeism and turnover are rising as employees avoid workplaces perceived as raid targets—directly impacting business productivity and revenue.

The data underscores a paradox: even citizen workers experience collateral psychological effects from aggressive immigration policies. With no direct cryptocurrency market implications, the findings highlight broader socioeconomic tensions that could influence labor-dependent sectors.
