During this week’s anti-immigrant raid at a legal cannabis plant in California, a farmer fell from a greenhouse roof and died from his wounds.
The first victim killed by Donald Trump’s ICE operations is Jaime Alanis, 57.
Yesenia Duran, his niece, said on the GoFundMe website that her uncle was the only provider for his family and that he had been sending his money back to his wife and kid in Mexico.
According to the United Food Workers, Mr. Alanis has ten years of experience working on the farm.
In a recent statement on X, the union said that “these violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupt the American food supply chain, threaten lives, and separate families.”
