Union officials on Friday announced a farmworker had died after they said he was injured during an immigration enforcement raid on a California cannabis farm. 

“We tragically can confirm that a farmworker has died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action,” the United Farm Workers’ announcement on X said.

On Thursday, protesters clashed with authorities as federal immigration agents conducted raids at Glass House Farms in Camarillo and another site in Carpinteria. Video footage showed authorities using tear gas to disperse the crowd.

The Trump administration has been carrying out raids in Southern California, targeting criminal illegal immigrants despite opposition from local and state officials. 

The union has decried the operations, saying workers were critically injured during what they described as “chaotic raids” and noted that “other workers, including U.S. citizens, remain totally unaccounted for.”

“These violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupt the American food supply chain, threaten lives and separate families,” it said in an earlier statement. “There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately.”
