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.

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.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

To ensure compliance with a growing number of consumer privacy laws and the ACLU’s own privacy policies and to minimize risk with surveillance technologies currently used by law enforcement...

This sounds vaguely like coercion.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week 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 27 points 1 week ago

Yup. Scum ice racking up those numbers.

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 23 points 1 week 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 21 points 1 week ago
  1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
  2. The deporting is illegal

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.

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

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (11 children)

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.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (3 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.

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

us mods are bound by the instance-wide rules and TOS

LOL But you don't follow them. I reported one person who was clearly breaking the TOS and YOUR rules and you banned me instead for being a "known troll" for speaking about phobias. At least be honest with yourself.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're correct. It was still in the mod queue.

It's since been taken care of.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I'm gonna believe that. What rule did I break, then? Or are you just vibe modding? Because I sure as shit am not "trolling" for speaking about things that matter to me that you dislike.

Are you serious? Did you even look at the time frames? 3 mo ago, 1 year. I've been here 2 years. I hope you realize most of those times were not deserved, and people were power tripping and assuming shit, just like you did by slapping troll on everything you dislike. Mods like you are the problem on this site, who then turn around and play saints.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry for the delay in response.

I was taking the time to do something I rarely have time to do: actually look at your profile.

I will say this, I was wrong.

Mods didn't always have time to deep dive, and we're human. Sorry for the error.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Thank you, that's rare to see and it means a lot. I sincerely don't participate in bad faith. I'm making an effort to do better.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 week 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 14 points 1 week 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.

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.

Suicides, every one of them.

[–] h4x0r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 1 week ago (25 children)

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.

Very disgusting and brutal to see.

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Under what logic does immigration enforcement deal with domestic production of cannabis.

(I know, 100 miles from any border, port of entry, federal land, Indian reservation, etc but still)

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

They're not immigration enforcement. They're gestapo.
