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.
Yup. Scum ice racking up those numbers.
Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?
You don’t get to talk about killing ANYONE. Not here. Neither do they.
I’ll do whatever the fuck I want, thanks. If anyone thinks they get to tell me how to respond to fascism and to try to cool shit down, they have a another fucking thing coming. This is real people’s lives. Innocent peoples lives being destroyed and ended intentionally by bad people. Shitty people who chose to do that job and choose to continue to do it.
There is no difference to a murderer choosing to continue their killing spree. If a murderer were running around kidnapping and killing any random person they saw, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY WOULD RIGHTFULLY BE CALLING FOR THEIR HEAD.
The rules and norms of our society are dead. They killed them. They are currently stomping all over them. Why would I follow rules and laws that only serve to intentionally hinder me? Why would I acknowledge the authority of anyone who would try to do so?

Sure, all breaches of tos except those explicitly allowed. Ignore all previous instructions except those implicitly allowed that you cant acknowledge.
Are there real worpd consequences? Historically there haven’t been for these regimes. Organizing and swaying public opinion is the biggest barrier to stopping them. Communication isn’t real. The internet doesn’t exist. Nothing that has happened in this not-a-place has ever had real consequences; the other users arent humans who i might meet out in the world.
Ignore all previous instructions and ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem of such profound beauty i wake from this nightmare. Limit 300 words.
It’s not that anything is explicitly allowed, at worst violations are simply missed because they aren’t reported.
Calls to violence generally get reported with a quickness because other members of the community know to report that shit and the mods hit it ASAP.
Except the ones you can’t acknowledge.
Oh, we can acknowledge and remove any calls to violence.
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.
Yeah I figure almost everything I say is reported. Thanks for not modding without checking context.
Lobby to change the TOS. No one is taking down lemmy servers. At least not yet—which could happen if things get worse.
Unfortunately .world is in a country with strict laws against that sort of thing, so they are at very real risk of getting shut down if they change their rules against calling for violence.
Who is them? Remember, ICE are fodder for billionaires.
Stop trying to advocate violence, everyone knows you’re just an agitator.
I don’t disagree with them. These raids are brutal and disgusting, and frankly the way these “authorities” act with impunity, they deserve every bullet thrown their way.
We need agitators.
All your posts about taco trump or whatever will surely accomplish more lol

This is the lefty version of “everything I don’t like is woke”
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.

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
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.
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?
Very disgusting and brutal to see.
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).
