Yesterday, I sent a letter to DHS Secretary Noem and Acting ICE Director Lyons demanding immediate answers about these raids including who was arrested, where they are being held, and whether civil rights and due process were violated.

The reports that hundreds of farmworkers have been detained by ICE in Ventura County are deeply alarming.
We need comprehensive immigration reform that protects workers like Jaime and strengthens our communities, not targets and terrorizes them.
This is the devastating human cost of a broken immigration system – one that prioritizes punishment over compassion and leaves no space for humanity.
Jaime came to this country to work, to support his family, and he worked tirelessly as part of the invisible workforce that contributes to our local and national economies.
During yesterday’s immigration enforcement operation in Camarillo, Jaime Garcia, a father and a farmworker, fell 30 feet from a building while running in fear for his life. He is now on life support with a broken neck and skull, and he is not expected to survive.
We can’t keep asking people to build this country while denying them a place in it. If we truly believe in fairness, hard work, and family, then we must act like it. That starts with creating a real path to citizenship for hardworking people in communities across this country.
They are mothers, fathers, our neighbors, and our friends. They’ve risked everything for a better life, and yet we force them to live in fear and uncertainty.
The individuals targeted and traumatized by this militarized operation are hardworking people who break their backs every day to feed this country.
Our immigration system isn’t broken because of open borders or lax enforcement. It’s broken because of the endless barriers that make it nearly impossible to become a legal resident. And we make it especially hard for those coming here from our southern border.
Yesterday, the immigration enforcement actions that took place in Ventura County tore at the fabric of our community. These actions were un-American, and they do not reflect who we are or what we stand for.
When I return to Washington, I will be working with my Democratic colleagues to get answers for our community, demand accountability and transparency from this administration, and push for commonsense immigration reform that reflects our nation’s values.
I was horrified by what I saw. This is a massively disproportionate and outrageous response by the Trump administration. I am deeply concerned about this administration’s cruel and legally questionable immigration enforcement tactics.
I joined Supervisor Vianey Lopez in Camarillo to survey the devastating and heartbreaking scene of masked federal agents disrupting the lives and livelihoods of hardworking members of our communities — our friends and our neighbors who are doing backbreaking work to feed America.
I am continuing to work to hold this administration accountable and ensure that all Ventura County families, regardless of immigration status, feel safe. We can, and we must, enforce our immigration laws while upholding the rule of law and respecting due process.
These raids are a misuse of federal resources, and they are not how we keep our neighborhoods safe. In fact, this kind of chaos only makes our communities more insecure. As these actions continue to traumatize families and tear communities apart, they are also tearing at the fabric of our humanity.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they were rightly declared essential workers who were vital to sustaining our nation’s food supply. To turn around and target them is wrong and profoundly immoral.
The farmworkers being targeted in these operations are the same individuals who break their backs day in and day out to feed this country.
ICE should be focused on individuals who pose real threats to public safety, not carrying out broad sweeps that destabilize entire communities.
These militarized raids are not routine immigration enforcement. They are part of a deliberate, disruptive, and ongoing campaign of cruelty that is an unacceptable assault on our way of life.
