Alanis, California Farm Worker Dies from 39 Feet Plunge During Immigration Raid

A California farm worker, identified as Jaime Alanis, died on Friday after falling 30 feet from a greenhouse roof during a US immigration raid on a cannabis farm.

The raid, carried out by US immigration agents, resulted in the arrest of 200 undocumented migrants and clashes with protesters.

Department of Homeland Security officials claim the individual who died was not being pursued by law enforcement at the time of the incident and that medical help was called immediately after the fall.

The raids targeted marijuana growing sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo, where agents also rescued 10 children allegedly at risk of exploitation and forced labor.

Glass House Brands, the farm’s owner, denies any wrongdoing, stating they’ve never knowingly employed minors. Over 500 protesters attempted to disrupt the operation, with some throwing projectiles at law enforcement vehicles and damaging agency vehicles.

Tear gas was deployed, and four US citizens face charges for assaulting or resisting officers.

President Donald Trump has condemned the protesters, labeling them “slimeballs” and authorizing law enforcement to take necessary measures to protect themselves.

Meanwhile, a district judge has ordered a halt to “roving patrols” in Los Angeles, citing lack of probable cause and due process in detaining suspected undocumented migrants.

The judge ruled that these arrests were based on racial profiling, such as speaking Spanish or having an accent.
