A farm worker who fell from a drift -house roof during a chaotic ice attack this week on a California cannabis plant died on Saturday of his injuries.
Jaime Alanis, 57, is the first person to die in one of the Trump administration’s anti-immigration operations. Yesenia Duran, Alanis’ Niese, confirmed his death to Associated Press.
Duran has sent on the Fundraising -Websted Gofundme to say that her uncle was his family’s only provider and he had sent his earnings back to wife and daughter in Mexico. The United Food Workers said Alanis World in the farm for 10 years.
“These violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupting the American food supply chain, threatening lives and separate families,” the union recently said in a state thing on the social platform X.
UFW reported Alanis’ death too early on Friday, but the Ventura County Medical Center later issued a stern authorized by the family and said he was still on life support.
The Department of Homeland Security said the executed criminal search on Thursday at Glass House Farms Facility in Camillo and Carpinteria.
Garcia called family to say he was hiding and possibly on the run before he fell about 30 meters (9 meters) from the roof and broke his neck, according to information from family, hospital and government sources.
Agents arrested about 200 people suspected of being in the country illegally and identified at least 10 immigrant children on the sites, DHS said in a statement. Alanis was not among them, the agency said.
“This man was not in and does not have legs in CBP or ICE custody,” said DHS -assistant secretary of public affairs Tricia McLaughlin in a statement. “Although he was not persecuted by law enforcement, this person climbed up to the roof of a greenhouse and fell 30 meters. CBP, which was terminating, called a Medivac to the stage to get him to care as soon as possible.”
Four US citizens were arrested during the incident for allegedly “assault or opponent of officers”, according to DHS, and authorities offered a reward of $ 50,000 for information led to the arrest of a person suspended to shoot a gun against federal agents.
Under the raid collected crowds of people outside the Camillo facility to seek information about their relative and protest migration. Authorities dressed in military style and uniforms facing the protesters, and people eventually pulled out of sharp green and white rolling smoke.

“Glass House never has a conscious vio very useful employment practice and not and has never hired minors,” it said.
