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.

    So, just let them take the kids. Bye-bye little babies, you’re gonna die slow while getting raped by guards, then get fed to animals, because thats cheaper than cremation!

    Also by “hypothetical” i mean “last night”. ~16 hours ago. I saw what might’ve been them drive past as i was having dinner. Didnt know thats what i was seeing at the time, just knew it was something bad.

            I don’t even know how one would do that if there were a specific ice accent.

            Maybe idk. If the loss of coordination from having their accents shot would save those kids. If it’s at least 1:1 on kidnapped children rescued to martyrs?

            What even happens when you shoot an accent? Do bullets make more sense than cum here? Genuine question. Does the accent die and yhey cant talk until they, i dunno, re-learn a new one? Or they have to switch to their racist caricature of an african american? Would that even do more than make them look stupid?
