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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Well it looks like ICE is just gonna throw you out a window anyway.
comments on lemmy are getting a bit unhinged
Situation's getting pretty unhinged.
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.
I don't know. But pulling out your gun and shooting an agent or two is just going to get you swiftly killed, so I wouldn't do that.
Sorry if this makes me a boot licker or something.
So, just let them take the kids. Bye-bye little babies, you're gonna die slow while getting raped by guards, then get fed to animals, because thats cheaper than cremation!
Also by "hypothetical" i mean "last night". ~16 hours ago. I saw what might've been them drive past as i was having dinner. Didnt know thats what i was seeing at the time, just knew it was something bad.
This is the unhinged part I mentioned
Do you not believe it's happening?
Do you think that they should shoot ice accents and then die?
I don't even know how one would do that if there were a specific ice accent.
Maybe idk. If the loss of coordination from having their accents shot would save those kids. If it's at least 1:1 on kidnapped children rescued to martyrs?
What even happens when you shoot an accent? Do bullets make more sense than cum here? Genuine question. Does the accent die and yhey cant talk until they, i dunno, re-learn a new one? Or they have to switch to their racist caricature of an african american? Would that even do more than make them look stupid?
I typed accent instead of agent.
Well your mistake is more fun, and i don't think you're taking this seriously, so I'm gonna have fun with it. Now answer. My. Questions. Coward.
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.
He said people need to start shooting ice agents, sorry but lmao, get yourself rehinged.
Yeah. In bukake scenes.
Nah he didn't
I suppose you're free to misunderstand them. You could always ask them for clarification.
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)
may ICE never know peace
It will take a decade or maybe more but they will be hunted.
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.
That might have been the case, I cannot say. But I have seen plenty of kids working in the fields along side mommy and daddy hoeing weeds. It's still a fairly common thing.
I suspect do to the lack of day care, the kids have no where else to be besides along side the rest of the family working.
