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.
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.
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.
Yup. Scum ice racking up those numbers.
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.
I am only able to interpret this sentence one way: that Trump is illegally deporting all immigrants. Please explain the other interpretation.
- The immigrants are here illegally vs.
- The deporting is illegal
The other interpretation elides “who are”:
“It was the latest escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign to deport all immigrants who are in the U.S. Illegally.”
This is similar to a sentence like: “Please point out all the boys eating hot dogs quickly”, which is also ambiguous in the same ways, but I feel shows the intended interpretation more clearly.
That the immigrants are IN the US illegally. Is my guess.
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.
It’s almost as if they had already been going after the criminals and deporting them…
no, human is illegal!
Unfortunately a growing number are
Which to me reads as an damning self-own by the law.
remove the word ‘in’ and you get what is really happening
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.
"fall"👐
Suicides, every one of them.
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.
In California? Because it varies by state and having a gun is a good way to get shot by ICE
On private property, yes. Don’t take it into public.
It’s legal to be armed on your own property in all of America, provided you can legally own the firearm. Or if you’re a guest of the owner, you have to have their permission to be armed, because it is their property.
You might get looks from the neighbors, but it’s by no means a crime. If you’re in a rural area I doubt anyone would even look twice even in California.
Well it looks like ICE is just gonna throw you out a window anyway.
Somebody knows him.

With a nose like Pinocchio, I’m sure many would see that MF on the streets.
Very disgusting and brutal to see.
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)
They’re not immigration enforcement. They’re gestapo.
It doesn’t have to matter, as long as the footage looks good enough to be edited and posted by the White House.
Cause brown people work on farms, duhhh
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?”
You have top white men working on it right now? Who?
may ICE never know peace
It will take a decade or maybe more but they will be hunted.
Germany is still finding their Nazis 80 years later so America’s secret police better be looking over their shoulder for the next eight decades.
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.
That might have been the case, I cannot say. But I have seen plenty of kids working in the fields along side mommy and daddy hoeing weeds. It’s still a fairly common thing.
I suspect do to the lack of day care, the kids have no where else to be besides along side the rest of the family working.
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
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.
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.
I’m skeptical anyone wants to actually pay these workers as citizens. It seems the system is dependant on them being undocumented so that labor laws won’t apply. It seems to me the system is currently working to maximize profits, which incentivizes having groups of workers with less rights than others whether its here or abroad.
Off the top of my head, I can think of two solutions - one obvious one, and one you probably won’t like.
-
Use due process to find and prosecute the people who are here illegally.
-
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).

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
Is that simply an argument for open borders?
Sort of. But it’s not that simple is it?
It is if thats your position. I dont quite agree with open borders but I dont have great counter arguments either. Still trying to figure this one out. Why are you for open borders? How would you deal with exceptional situations that push the limits of the idea?
But I didn’t say anything about the border.
Just that if they’ve made it across and started a life here, eventually we have to acknowledge they live here. Simple as that
What problems could there possibly be with that? They still have to follow the law, they still have to pay taxes
After a point, let’s say a year and a day to match historical precedent, they should be able to go to a government office with pay stubs or whatever, and we formally acknowledge that they live here and haven’t caused any serious problems in doing so
They should also be able to prove this in immigration court to block a deportation, whether or not they’ve filled out paperwork
It’s just reality over paperwork.
Interesting idea. Would it still be prohibited to come to the country without approval? Would the people need to hide out for a year to make sure they dont attract attention too soon?
Sure, it could be. This is entirely different from the border - it’s about recognizing reality
And you can’t just “hide out” for a year, you’ve now just become a shut in. And how are you going to pay for it? How will you prove you’ve been here? Why bother coming here just to stay home?
I just get the vibe you think they’re getting something out of this, like it’s some system they can game. But it’s just common sense… They already live here. They’re already American, already part of our society. Removing them causes damage to all parties
Up until Clinton, this was a bipartisan stance, they just never ironed out the details
