“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"

The scene at the #farm on Thursday was chaotic, with #federal agents wearing helmets & face #masks using #TearGas & smoke cannisters on #protesters, according to photos & videos of the scene.
Several #farmworkers were injured & one died on Friday from injuries sustained after a 30-foot fall from a building during the #raid, said Elizabeth Strater, national vice president of the #UnitedFarmWorkers.

The #Trump admin has made conflicting statements about whether #immigration agents will target #farmworkers, about half of whom are unauthorized to work in the US, per govt estimates.
#DHS said that ~200 people in the country illegally were arrested in the raid, which targeted 2 locations of the cannabis operation Glass House Farms.
Agents also found 10 immigrant minors at the #farm. The facility is under investigation for child labor violations, said #CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott.
