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.

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago

I was about to recommend the ACLUs "Mobile Justice" app that was designed to do just that, but instead learned that it was shut down in February. Fuck.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 20 points 13 hours ago

Yup. Scum ice racking up those numbers.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 63 points 14 hours ago (21 children)

Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -1 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

You don't get to talk about killing ANYONE. Not here. Neither do they.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Oh, so as long as they dont talk about it, they can kill as many of us as they like?

Because human life is worth less than civility?

Why not just deploy your own server anonymously in some jurisdiction where you can get away with this? Why harass the mods at all? This isn’t Reddit.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Because they will defed from me lol

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

The problem isn't the instance you are on. It's the instance this community is on. I've started to comment less and less on .world because of their "both sides are the same" stance.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Right, I’m saying to roll your own server and host a similar community yourself. If your opinion is so popular then naturally users will flock to your server.

The catch here is that you’ll be forced to moderate it according to the local laws in which the server resides. It’s possible you’ll run into the same legal obstacles the mods here are forced to deal with. With a little empathy and understanding maybe you’ll understand why they are the way that they are.

I understand your frustration, but us mods are bound by the instance-wide rules and TOS

Oh, and one of the people your arguing is reporting you as a troll, which you obviously aren't.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I figure almost everything I say is reported. Thanks for not modding without checking context.

Lobby to change the TOS. No one is taking down lemmy servers. At least not yet—which could happen if things get worse.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Unfortunately .world is in a country with strict laws against that sort of thing, so they are at very real risk of getting shut down if they change their rules against calling for violence.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

they never will lol. everyone is afraid of the legalities involved and aren't willing to risk lawsuits for your correct call for violent action. nobody is willing to support a movement of revolutionaries because it is bad optics. violence is unpopular even though it gets results.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Who is them? Remember, ICE are fodder for billionaires.

wtf?

Several farmworkers were injured and one died on Friday from injuries sustained after a 30-foot fall from a building during the raid, said Elizabeth Strater, national vice president of the United Farm Workers.

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago
  1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
  2. The deporting is illegal
[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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.

[–] TheLoneMinon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

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.

Just pointing out that it is perfectly legal to open carry on private property. Requiring warrants and identification before allowing LE on premises is completely reasonable.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 6 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

In California? Because it varies by state and having a gun is a good way to get shot by ICE

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 26 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

On private property, yes. Don't take it into public.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 5 points 12 hours ago

Well it looks like ICE is just gonna throw you out a window anyway.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago

Very disgusting and brutal to see.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 5 points 9 hours ago

It will take a decade or maybe more but they will be hunted.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

It should have been an ice simp that bid farewell. Hopefully the outcome will be the opposite next time provided the good lord willing & the creek doesn’t rise

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Disgusting shit
