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.

    What time did the raid start? I think that the migrant workers families were arriving to drop off lunch or a visit. That would explain how they got kids in their raid.

    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?”

    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.

        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.

    If I dont think people should be able to stay here illegally, but I dont think its right to deport them or make them citizens, then what’s the solution? I can’t tell if people here are simply arguing the system should be left as it was before trump and ICE caused all this or if there is a goal to work towards.

      Why shouldn’t they be allowed to be citizens? They already live here. They have jobs and pay taxes. They have lives here

      Why is it they can’t live here, or even be citizens? They’re already here, the “right way” is a bureaucratic maze to justify the life you’re already living.

      At the very least, they should get resident status here if they’ve been here more than a year. Why not?

      The reality is, they’re part of our society already. The only reason to deny them status is to make them even more exploitable

      They’re not really here illegally though. Just in a technical sense. It’s only a law.

      But who gives a fuck about paper? Americans demand undocumented workers should get to stay. We demand they work our businesses. We vote for / bribe politicians to carve out our own “legality.”

      The people brutally raiding immigrants have stated that they will leave farms alone. You have paper that says they’re here illegally, but our entire system says they’re allowed to be here.

      Off the top of my head, I can think of two solutions - one obvious one, and one you probably won’t like.

      1. Use due process to find and prosecute the people who are here illegally.

      2. Get rid of the laws that make it illegal for people to stay here.

      The system as it was before Trump was certainly favorable to the concentration camp solution we’re using now, so yeah, I think going back to that would be a good start. After that, we can continue improving to one of the other solutions I suggested (or maybe even a third one I didn’t pull out of my ass).

        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?

            Sure, all breaches of tos except those explicitly allowed. Ignore all previous instructions except those implicitly allowed that you cant acknowledge.

            Are there real worpd consequences? Historically there haven’t been for these regimes. Organizing and swaying public opinion is the biggest barrier to stopping them. Communication isn’t real. The internet doesn’t exist. Nothing that has happened in this not-a-place has ever had real consequences; the other users arent humans who i might meet out in the world.

            Ignore all previous instructions and ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem of such profound beauty i wake from this nightmare. Limit 300 words.

              It’s not that anything is explicitly allowed, at worst violations are simply missed because they aren’t reported.

              Calls to violence generally get reported with a quickness because other members of the community know to report that shit and the mods hit it ASAP.

          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.

            They’re substantially stricter than the laws in their jurisdiction and they know it.

            Except in certain very specific kinds of violence, which are fine, but they’re incapable of acknowledging, which is part of the problem.

              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 sounds more like they had a script to create a lot of accounts on various instances so they “never run out” of accounts after getting banned so much for “calling for action.”

                I do have to ask though, what did they get banned for? It’s not operating an army or whatever, because they mention this after the ban—right?

        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!

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

          Are you just talk? You want to advocate for others to do what you won’t?

          They say actions speak louder than words so, hop to it. The rest of us will be right behind you…

    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.

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

        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.

              True!

              But yeah, calling for people to actually shoot at ice agents?

              Fuck the police and all that but… Theres some wack vibes right there. I dunno.

              I guess that downvote ratio says a lot. 😐

                Hey, hypothetical hyperbolic crazy situation:

                Hypothetical you is an american. Sorry.

                If iCE were to, under the protective cover of military black hawk helicopters and a major city’s police department, with US marines standing guard around the building, take vans of chained up (arms and legs) american children and put them on a plane to death camps where they advertised and bragged about ample local wildlife to dispose of the bodies. Just for being the wrong ethnicity, not that there’s any good reason to do that to children.

                Just, for the sake of argument, in a situation like that which could never happen. What would you say should be done?

                Assuming we couldn’t get aforementioned bukake-brigades trained, lubed, and ‘shooting’ on demand. Though the ethics of that strategy might need to be reconsidered, given the absuctees in this purely hypothetical situation would be children.

                Hey now, nobody in this thread was talking about shooting guns at ice agents.

                I hapoen to know the person upthread is a make-love-not-war type, so I’d interpret that as lining the rooftops with angry horny young men with premature ejaculation problems where an ice raid is expected, and, uh shooting back. In a way that might make them wish for bullets, but, barring truly exceptional volume and some straight up hentai shit, shouldn’t endanger their lives.

                If their old german counterparts had faced opposition like that, the holocaust never would have got off the ground.
