Worker dies after being injured during US immigration raids on California farm
A farm worker died on Friday after being injured during a raid by US immigration agents on a legal cannabis farm in California that resulted in the arrests of 200 undocumented migrants and clashes with protestors. People gather outside of Glass House Farms, a day after an immigration raid on the facility, on Friday.(AP) President Donald Trump, meanwhile, called demonstrators involved in attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "slimeballs" and said they should be arrested. In another development, a district judge ordered a halt to "roving patrols" in Los Angeles by federal agents who were detaining suspected undocumented migrants without probable cause and denying them due process. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ordered an end to the arrests, which she said were being made "based upon race alone," on whether a person was speaking Spanish or English with an accent or because of their place of work and ordered them stopped.

The United Farm Workers labor union said in a post on X on Friday that the worker had "died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday's immigration enforcement action." Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman, said the man who died was never in custody. "Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a green house and fell 30 feet (10 meters)," McLaughlin said. "(Customs and Border Patrol) immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible." The DHS said 200 undocumented migrants were arrested during raids on marijuana growing sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo on Thursday and 10 children were rescued "from potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking." Glass House Brands, which owns the farms, said in a statement that it has "never knowingly violated applicable hiring practices and does not and has never employed minors." DHS said more than 500 "rioters" had attempted to disrupt the operation and four US citizens are facing charges for assaulting or resisting officers. Tear gas was used against the protestors, some of whom were seen in television footage throwing projectiles at law enforcement vehicles. The department said immigration agency vehicles were damaged and a $50,000 reward was being offered for the arrest of an individual who allegedly fired a gun at law enforcement officers. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he had watched footage of "thugs" throwing rocks and bricks at ICE vehicles, causing 'tremendous damage.' Trump said he was authorizing law enforcement officers who are "on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so." "I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public," he said. Trump, who campaigned on a pledge to deport millions of migrants, has been involved in a showdown over immigration enforcement with Democratic-ruled California for weeks. The Republican president sent thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles last month to quell protests against roundups of undocumented migrants by federal agents. California Governor Gavin Newsom has said the troops were not necessary to address the mostly peaceful protests, but his legal efforts to have them removed have failed so far. The cannabis farm in Camarillo was calm during a visit by an AFP reporter on Friday as workers waited in line to collect their belongings and paychecks. "We've been here since six this morning asking questions but they're not giving us any information," said Saul Munoz, a 43-year-old Colombian whose son was detained on Thursday. "I just want to know how he's doing," Munoz said. "Bring him back to me and if it's time for us to leave, we'll leave. 'The truth is the American dream is no longer really the American dream.'

'Unconstitutional tactics': US federal judge blocks ICE raids in California counties; Trump admin accused of racial profiling
A US federal judge ordered the Donald Trump administration to halt broad immigration stops and arrests across seven California counties, including Los Angeles, following allegations of racial profiling and 'unconstitutional tactics' by federal immigration agents. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Attorneys general from 18 Democratic-led states supported the court orders, which came after a similar ruling in April that barred warrantless arrests by border agents in parts of eastern California. The ruling, issued Friday by Judge Maame E Frimpong, came after immigrant advocacy groups filed a lawsuit accusing US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) of detaining brown-skinned individuals. The lawsuit names three detained immigrants and two US citizens, one of whom was held despite showing valid identification. Plaintiffs claim agents targeted individuals who 'looked Hispanic' or wore construction work clothes. ACLU attorney Mohammad Tajsar pointed to a car wash raid where all but two white workers were detained. The lawsuit names three detained immigrants and two US citizens, one of whom was held despite showing valid identification. The department of homeland security denied the claims, calling them 'categorically FALSE.' Judge Frimpong's order also requires ICE to grant attorneys access to detainees, addressing concerns over denied legal representation. The decision comes amid growing protests in Southern California, where immigration raids have taken place at car washes, swap meets, and parking lots. Trump says he's ordered department of homeland security secretary Kristi Noem and White House border czar Tom Homan to direct ICE agents to use 'whatever means is necessary' to arrest protesters who assault them in the future.

Authorities also announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect who allegedly fired at federal agents during the raid.

'AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION.'advertisementTrump's comments followed what he described as a violent attack on ICE officers. According to Trump, individuals he labeled as "thugs" were seen throwing rocks and bricks at official vehicles.'I watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers,' he wrote. 'Tremendous damage was done to these brand-new vehicles.' Trump expressed outrage over what he called a broader lack of respect for law enforcement, declaring that he had instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and 'Border Czar' Tom Homan to empower officers to act decisively.'I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again!' he added. 'These SLIMEBALLS must be arrested using whatever means is necessary.''I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER,' he said.- EndsTune InMust Watch
