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.

          We acknowledge all calls to violence that get reported to us. Nobody gets left out.

          Here’s the problem from a lemmy user perspective:

          Most of the calls for violence come from the anti-fascists. Whether it’s anti-cop, anti-corpo, anti-billionaire, anti-Trump, anti-Israel, etc. That shit gets reported and shut down and it’s probably 98% of what gets removed. 95% of it is a single user who gets banned over, and over, and over.

          The other probably 2% is pro-Russia, pro-China, Ukrainian/Uighur genocide denial, but most users never see that angle on it.

          Very little of it is pro-Israel, rah, rah kill all the Palestinians. I think they know better than to come here and start that shit. I have removed and banned some of it, but it’s a tiny, tiny minority of what gets reported.

          So if you look at the modlog, you’re going to see a lot of removals and bans on the anti-fascist front, because they’re the ones coming here starting shit against the rules and refuse to be told “No.”

            I think we’ve been over this, and there are specific things you literalky cannot see. You got that blind sight in you.

            Though that does explain some.

              If you think we aren’t seeing it, report it. The report queue is the first thing we look at and the Admins have a bot to inform mods if there are too many unresolved reports.
