WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - A California farmworker died on Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier when U.S. immigration agents raided a cannabis operation and arrested hundreds of workers, according to a farmworker advocacy group.

Dozens of migrant-rights activists faced off with federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday. It was the latest escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign to deport all immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that approximately 200 people in the country illegally were arrested in the raid, which targeted two locations of the cannabis operation Glass House Farms.

Agents also found 10 migrant minors at the farm, the statement said. The facility is under investigation for child labor violations, said Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott in a post on X.

      Absolutely fucking not. I got banned from that entire instance for saying shit like I want to say. That is definitely not a community that welcomes creative thinking

      And actually… I think it was you who invited me over there.

        Oh your that person that was banned by another mod, but said you operated an army of alt accounts you use to spam anyway so didn’t care that you were unbanned?

        Well for anyone else, you’re welcome to participate. I made the community myself after similar bans for calls for action, and as long as they’re directed rightwards I don’t mind if others do.

            Oh, well that’s funny because only 1 user was ever banned for that sort of speech.

            And the person who was banned kept saying they were banned from the whole instance rather than just the single community, which is oddly what you’re also doing.

            Must just be a coincidence, enjoy your day.

              It sounds more like they had a script to create a lot of accounts on various instances so they “never run out” of accounts after getting banned so much for “calling for action.”

              I do have to ask though, what did they get banned for? It’s not operating an army or whatever, because they mention this after the ban—right?
