Kent State 2025 Style – Migrant Agriculture Worker Murdered by ICE Terror Force in Ventura Co. CA
ICE fascists and co-splay Kristi
We’re finally on our own
Mayhem terror is their mission
Worker killed in Ventura
The following is from a Facebook posting by United Farm Workers. There is blood in the fields!
The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, California. Others, including US citizens remain totally unaccounted for.
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers, including U.S. citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. U.S. citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.
The UFW is also aware of reports of child labor on site. The UFW demands the immediate facilitation of independent legal representation for the minor workers, to protect them from further harm. Farm workers are excluded from basic child labor laws and it is unfortunately not uncommon for teenagers to work in the fields. To be clear: detaining and deporting children is not a solution for child labor.
These violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupt the American food supply chain, threaten lives and separate families.
There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately.
UPDATE: we tragically can confirm that a farm worker has died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action.
UPDATE: We can confirm that farm worker Jaime Alanis Garcia has died of injuries sustained as a result of yesterday’s ICE raid on two farms in Ventura County, California. The unprecedented ICE raids, in coordination with the National Guard, were some of the largest farm raids in the state’s history, where heavily armed agents shot tear gas and projectiles at workers and their young family members, ultimately arresting 200 people.
Garcia’s death is another gruesome tragedy in a year that’s already seen twelve people die in ICE custody. Garcia was the sole provider for his wife and daughter back in Mexico, who want answers and justice.
Garcia and millions of hard-working immigrants like him are only trying to make ends meet and feed their families—which they do by feeding our families.
Martyred by ICE – lets remember his name and bring justice – and an end to ICE and all ICE and related terror!
