How much longer are you and your congressman going to sit idly by and let these atrocities continue to occur.
It has been confirm today that farm worker Jaime Garcia has died of injuries sustained as a result of yesterday's ICE raid on two farms in Ventura County, California. The unprecedented ICE raids, in coordination with the National Guard, were some of the largest farm raids in the state's history, where heavily armed agents shot tear gas and projectiles at workers and their young family members, ultimately arresting 200 people.
Garcia's death is another gruesome tragedy in a year that's already seen twelve people die in ICE custody. Garcia was the sole provider for his wife and daughter back in Mexico, who want answers and justice.
Garcia and millions of hard-working immigrants like him are only trying to make ends meet and feed their families—which they do by feeding our families.
How much longer will you allow this to continue?
