Panic spread across California's agricultural communities as federal immigration officials began increased enforcement actions. Reports emerged from various counties, including Tulare and Oxnard, of agents pursuing individuals in fields, prompting workers to flee. The United Farm Workers noted a significant rise in the visibility of Border Patrol agents, which created widespread anxiety among laborers. Community advocates received numerous calls and video evidence of these actions, accentuating the climate of fear affecting the rural workforce.
Today we are seeing an uptick in the chaotic presence of immigration enforcement, particularly the Border Patrol, in multiple areas.
We reviewed a video that showed a worker running through a field under early morning fog, with at least one agent in pursuit.
