Raids are part of Donald Trump’s efforts to detain undocumented immigrants in the United States. During the raid on a farm that reportedly led to the death of a worker, officers arrested 200 undocumented immigrants.

A farm worker reportedly died on Friday from injuries sustained during raids by US immigration officers at a cannabis farm in California the day before.

The United Farm Workers labor union said in a post on X on Friday that the worker had “died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action.”

During the raid, approximately 200 undocumented migrants were arrested, the authorities said.

Meanwhile, Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman, stated that the man who died had not been arrested.

“Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a green house and fell 30 feet (10 meters),” McLaughlin said.

“(Customs and Border Patrol) immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible,” she added.

Trump’s latest crackdown on immigrants

The raids are part of US President Donald Trump’s latest efforts to deport immigrants living in the United States illegally.

The events on a cannabis farm triggered protests and clashes with federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday.

Trump called the demonstrators involved in attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “slimeballs” and said they should be arrested.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he was authorizing law enforcement officers who are “on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so.”

Separately, a federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration to temporarily pause some of its most aggressive tactics to arrest undocumented immigrants.

The judge issued two temporary restraining orders that blocked the administration from detaining immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally based on racial profiling, as well as from denying detained individuals the right to speak with a lawyer.
