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.

          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.

        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?

        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!

              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 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.

        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.

        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.

    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?”

      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.
