Overview

  • On July 11, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order barring ICE agents from conducting appearance-based detentions in six California counties, and DHS has since appealed the ruling.
  • Jaime Alanis fell 30 feet from a Glass House Farms greenhouse roof during the July 10 Camarillo raid and died on July 12, leading supporters to raise over $150,000 on GoFundMe.
  • The United Farm Workers and Alanis’s family are pressing for independent oversight and transparency into the federal raids that targeted nearly 200 workers.
  • Protests and clashes in Ventura County have persisted, reflecting widespread condemnation of aggressive ICE tactics and concerns over labor and community safety.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reported that the raids executed criminal search warrants, arrested 319 migrants and rescued 14 children from potential forced labor.
