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.
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.
On private property, yes. Don’t take it into public.
People need to start shooting back
comments on lemmy are getting a bit unhinged
Situation’s getting pretty unhinged.
True!
But yeah, calling for people to actually shoot at ice agents?
Fuck the police and all that but… Theres some wack vibes right there. I dunno.
I guess that downvote ratio says a lot. 😐
Hey, hypothetical hyperbolic crazy situation:
Hypothetical you is an american. Sorry.
If iCE were to, under the protective cover of military black hawk helicopters and a major city’s police department, with US marines standing guard around the building, take vans of chained up (arms and legs) american children and put them on a plane to death camps where they advertised and bragged about ample local wildlife to dispose of the bodies. Just for being the wrong ethnicity, not that there’s any good reason to do that to children.
Just, for the sake of argument, in a situation like that which could never happen. What would you say should be done?
Assuming we couldn’t get aforementioned bukake-brigades trained, lubed, and ‘shooting’ on demand. Though the ethics of that strategy might need to be reconsidered, given the absuctees in this purely hypothetical situation would be children.
Hey now, nobody in this thread was talking about shooting guns at ice agents.
I hapoen to know the person upthread is a make-love-not-war type, so I’d interpret that as lining the rooftops with
angryhorny young men with premature ejaculation problems where an ice raid is expected, and, uh shooting back. In a way that might make them wish for bullets, but, barring truly exceptional volume and some straight up hentai shit, shouldn’t endanger their lives.If their old german counterparts had faced opposition like that, the holocaust never would have got off the ground.
Well it looks like ICE is just gonna throw you out a window anyway.
