On Thursday federal immigration agents joined by National Guard soldiers carried out two brutal immigration raids in Carpinteria and Camarillo, California, which left at least one worker dead and several others hospitalized. Reports indicate as many as 200 people have been taken by the immigration Gestapo.

In a post on social media, the United Farm Workers union confirmed that a “farm worker” died of injuries “sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action.”

In a GoFundMe, Yeseni Duran said her uncle Jaime Garcia, “was chased by ICE agents and we were told he fell 30 [feet].” In an interview with ABC 7, Garcia’s family confirmed he had broken his neck and skull.

Duran wrote that her “uncle Jaime” was “just a hard-working, innocent farmer. He has his wife and daughter waiting for him.”

ICE is responsible for this death, no matter howbthey try to weasle out of it, or spin it to make it look like the victims fault. Charge them, dissolve them, a misdemeanor level offense cannot warrant this illegal action and misappropriation of resources. What a sham the govenrment has made of itself under these oligarch-simp-grifters.
