Reports of ICE Presence in Southwest Kansas Concerns Agriculture, Meatpacking Industries
Livestock groups said thousands of cattle shipments were delayed and millions of dollars in revenue were lost as workers stayed home.

- Industry leaders warn these disruptions could raise beef prices nationwide, while protests continue as advocates demand transparency and coordination between federal and local authorities in the United States.
