Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins was joined by three other cabinet members, three governors, several members of the House and Senate, and other officials at USDA headquarters Tuesday to announce the National Farm Security Action Plan.

“This Action Plan puts America’s farmers, families, and future first—exactly where they belong. Under President Trump’s leadership, American agriculture will be strong, secure, and resilient. He will never stop fighting for our farmers and our ranchers,” said Rollins.

During questioning from reporters, Rollins said they are looking at ways to recover land holdings from Chinese-owned companies such as Smithfield and Syngenta. “We are looking at every available option. There are multiples of options. You’ll likely see an executive order on this very soon from the White House, and we’ll be looking at multiple different authorities within the federal government to begin to claw that back.”

Rollins also responded to questioning about amnesty for farm workers. “No amnesty under any circumstances,” Rollins stated emphatically. “Mass deportations continue but in a strategic and intentional way as we move our workforce toward more automation and toward a 100% American workforce.”
