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.

    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.

      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.

        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.
