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.

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.

I am only able to interpret this sentence one way: that Trump is illegally deporting all immigrants. Please explain the other interpretation.

  1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
  2. The deporting is illegal

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.

That the immigrants are IN the US illegally. Is my guess.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, especially since they are revoking visas and going after naturalized citizens. It's like they ran out of people to attack on day one.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 hours ago

It's almost as if they had already been going after the criminals and deporting them...

Unfortunately a growing number are

Which to me reads as an damning self-own by the law.
