WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - A California farmworker died on Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier when U.S. immigration agents raided a cannabis operation and arrested hundreds of workers, according to a farmworker advocacy group.

Dozens of migrant-rights activists faced off with federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday. It was the latest escalation of President Donald Trump's campaign to deport all immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that approximately 200 people in the country illegally were arrested in the raid, which targeted two locations of the cannabis operation Glass House Farms.

Agents also found 10 migrant minors at the farm, the statement said. The facility is under investigation for child labor violations, said Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott in a post on X.

What time did the raid start? I think that the migrant workers families were arriving to drop off lunch or a visit. That would explain how they got kids in their raid.

With a nose like Pinocchio, I’m sure many would see that MF on the streets.

Retard Whitehouse Press Secretary said: Enforcement operations require careful planning and execution; skills far beyond the purview or jurisdiction of any judge.

So in other words he’s saying, “we have top white men working on it…. They’re figuring out if they’re white or not. Did I mention we have top white men looking into it?”

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

You have top white men working on it right now? Who?

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Under what logic does immigration enforcement deal with domestic production of cannabis.

(I know, 100 miles from any border, port of entry, federal land, Indian reservation, etc but still)

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

They're not immigration enforcement. They're gestapo.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

It doesn’t have to matter, as long as the footage looks good enough to be edited and posted by the White House.

It was the latest escalation of President Donald Trump's campaign to deport all immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

There are two ways to parse this sentence, and I suspect the most accurate parsing was not the one intended by Reuters.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, especially since they are revoking visas and going after naturalized citizens. It's like they ran out of people to attack on day one.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 hours ago

It's almost as if they had already been going after the criminals and deporting them...

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately a growing number are

Which to me reads as an damning self-own by the law.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I am only able to interpret this sentence one way: that Trump is illegally deporting all immigrants. Please explain the other interpretation.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago
  1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
  2. The deporting is illegal

Some citizen workers who were detained reported only being released from custody after deleting photos and videos of the raid from their phones, said UFW President Teresa Romero in a statement.

I'm sure everything was being done by the numbers.

This is why you need to have this shit uploading to a remote server automatically in the background each time one is taken. Livestreams need to be happening as well.

I was about to recommend the ACLUs "Mobile Justice" app that was designed to do just that, but instead learned that it was shut down in February. Fuck.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

To ensure compliance with a growing number of consumer privacy laws and the ACLU’s own privacy policies and to minimize risk with surveillance technologies currently used by law enforcement...

This sounds vaguely like coercion.

Cloud services are a big help here.

Also, delete doesn't mean delete on iOS there's an automatic grace period.

Also, depending on how closely they are watching it's very easy to save images and photos to Files, essentially a on device copy.

It should have been an ice simp that bid farewell. Hopefully the outcome will be the opposite next time provided the good lord willing & the creek doesn’t rise

Disgusting shit

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 66 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

wtf?

Several farmworkers were injured and one died on Friday from injuries sustained after a 30-foot fall from a building during the raid, said Elizabeth Strater, national vice president of the United Farm Workers.

If I dont think people should be able to stay here illegally, but I dont think its right to deport them or make them citizens, then what's the solution? I can't tell if people here are simply arguing the system should be left as it was before trump and ICE caused all this or if there is a goal to work towards.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 31 minutes ago

Why shouldn't they be allowed to be citizens? They already live here. They have jobs and pay taxes. They have lives here

Why is it they can't live here, or even be citizens? They're already here, the "right way" is a bureaucratic maze to justify the life you're already living.

At the very least, they should get resident status here if they've been here more than a year. Why not?

The reality is, they're part of our society already. The only reason to deny them status is to make them even more exploitable

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

They're not really here illegally though. Just in a technical sense. It's only a law.

But who gives a fuck about paper? Americans demand undocumented workers should get to stay. We demand they work our businesses. We vote for / bribe politicians to carve out our own "legality."

The people brutally raiding immigrants have stated that they will leave farms alone. You have paper that says they're here illegally, but our entire system says they're allowed to be here.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Off the top of my head, I can think of two solutions - one obvious one, and one you probably won't like.

  1. Use due process to find and prosecute the people who are here illegally.

  2. Get rid of the laws that make it illegal for people to stay here.

The system as it was before Trump was certainly favorable to the concentration camp solution we're using now, so yeah, I think going back to that would be a good start. After that, we can continue improving to one of the other solutions I suggested (or maybe even a third one I didn't pull out of my ass).

Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 27 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I understand your frustration, but us mods are bound by the instance-wide rules and TOS

Oh, and one of the people your arguing is reporting you as a troll, which you obviously aren't.

Just pointing out that it is perfectly legal to open carry on private property. Requiring warrants and identification before allowing LE on premises is completely reasonable.
