A Mexican migrant farm worker has died from severe injuries after falling 30 feet during a chaotic ICE raid on a marijuana farm in Camarillo, California.
The incident, which unfolded Thursday at Glass House Farms, is drawing national outrage over the use of federal force, the treatment of migrant laborers, and the human toll of the government’s intensifying crackdown on illegal work sites.
The victim, identified by family members as Jaime Alanís García, sustained what officials described as “catastrophic injuries” after plummeting from the roof of a greenhouse structure while immigration enforcement agents descended on the farm.
Alanís suffered a broken neck, a fractured skull, and a severed artery. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition but succumbed to his injuries early Friday morning.
“We tragically can confirm that a farm worker has died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action,” the United Farm Workers union (UFW) wrote in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
