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.
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.
no, human is illegal!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who is them? Remember, ICE are fodder for billionaires.
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.
Why not just deploy your own server anonymously in some jurisdiction where you can get away with this? Why harass the mods at all? This isn’t Reddit.
The problem isn’t the instance you are on. It’s the instance this community is on. I’ve started to comment less and less on .world because of their “both sides are the same” stance.
Right, I’m saying to roll your own server and host a similar community yourself. If your opinion is so popular then naturally users will flock to your server.
The catch here is that you’ll be forced to moderate it according to the local laws in which the server resides. It’s possible you’ll run into the same legal obstacles the mods here are forced to deal with. With a little empathy and understanding maybe you’ll understand why they are the way that they are.
Because they will defed from me lol
So?

You’re just a magat.
Well that’s quite the leap. Based on one word?
I don’t see you denying it. Are you enjoying watching what’s happening to the United States? Because if you are, that makes you one…
You’re not talking to me and I’m no MAGA supporter but I blocked you—too much crazy for me.
they never will lol. everyone is afraid of the legalities involved and aren’t willing to risk lawsuits for your correct call for violent action. nobody is willing to support a movement of revolutionaries because it is bad optics. violence is unpopular even though it gets results.

Absolutely fucking not. I got banned from that entire instance for saying shit like I want to say. That is definitely not a community that welcomes creative thinking
And actually… I think it was you who invited me over there.
Oh your that person that was banned by another mod, but said you operated an army of alt accounts you use to spam anyway so didn’t care that you were unbanned?
Well for anyone else, you’re welcome to participate. I made the community myself after similar bans for calls for action, and as long as they’re directed rightwards I don’t mind if others do.
I don’t operate an army full of alts.
Oh, well that’s funny because only 1 user was ever banned for that sort of speech.
And the person who was banned kept saying they were banned from the whole instance rather than just the single community, which is oddly what you’re also doing.
Must just be a coincidence, enjoy your day.
It sounds more like they had a script to create a lot of accounts on various instances so they “never run out” of accounts after getting banned so much for “calling for action.”
I do have to ask though, what did they get banned for? It’s not operating an army or whatever, because they mention this after the ban—right?
Plot twist!

What a shitty, dishonest retort. The entire goal is to be allowed to talk about it so he can organize and gain allies so there’s a chance to win, but you’re just telling him to pointlessly suicide-by-cop.
It’s not at all strategically comparable and it’s dishonest rhetoric and it’s cyberbullying. That’s the kind of shit that ought to be banned!
Go do what?
Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?
Are you just talk? You want to advocate for others to do what you won’t?
They say actions speak louder than words so, hop to it. The rest of us will be right behind you…

Interesting how everyone who questions you gets labeled a “magat”.
Interesting how none of them are denying it.
Why? Because some coward on the internet who’s all talk made a baseless accusation?
I’m not really worried what you think.
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.
Especially when they’re using alligators, and are already killing us.
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”
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
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.
People need to start shooting back
comments on lemmy are getting a bit unhinged
On private property, yes. Don’t take it into public.
Well it looks like ICE is just gonna throw you out a window anyway.
may ICE never know peace
It will take a decade or maybe more but they will be hunted.
Very disgusting and brutal to see.
