The United Farm Workers (UFW) said Friday in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that some farm workers were critically injured when federal immigration agents conducted a raid on a Ventura County, California, cannabis farm on Thursday.
The ICE raid targeted a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, and military-style vehicles and a helicopter were deployed.
The UFW posted, “Can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, California. Others, including US citizens remain totally unaccounted for.”
The post continued, “The UFW is also aware of reports of child labor on site. The UFW demands the immediate facilitation of independent legal representation for the minor workers, to protect them from further harm. Farm workers are excluded from basic child labor laws.”
This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
