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.

    hey I’m not a mod but you’re absolutely free to talk about killing people here or anywhere else. what they meant was, if you do they’ll ban you

    if you want to talk about organizing political violence, this kind of platform isnt ideal anyway. go talk to people face to face in your locale

    I’m glad the mods remove that shit cuz i dont need to get put on a list just for browsing it
