Nearly 200 illegal immigrants were arrested during U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
According to the United Farm Workers, several agricultural workers were “critically injured” and one of them died from those injuries.
ICE released the number of arrests Friday, following the previous day’s raids at Glass House Farms’ marijuana fields near Camarillo and Carpinteria, cities north of Los Angeles.
More than 500 rioters attempted to disrupt the raids, ICE said. It added that four U.S. citizens “are being criminally processed for assaulting or resisting officers.”
Meanwhile, the UFW, a union of agricultural workers, confirmed there was one death from injuries sustained during the raids.
