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 14 hours ago

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

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 19 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 15 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 14 points 22 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 7 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day 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 19 points 1 day 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 6 points 13 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.

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.

Disgusting shit

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

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.
