Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids in Southern California.
Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.
We've already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it's when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn't get Americans to come and pick for what they're willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone's face and promises to eat everyone's face wouldn't eat their face. Get ready for a lot of "waaahhh, I didn't think he would hurt meeeeeeee" from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.
Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don't deserve it. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.
like eggs, we're heading toward a produce shortage. Our supply of eggs is fine now, but prices are still high. They're gonna do the same thing with produce.
"They're just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream," said Daniel Larios with the UFW Foundation. "This is not law enforcement. It's a campaign of fear against people whose only 'crime' is living and working in the U.S."
I'm ready for the fat fucks in this country to find out what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you. My misanthropic tendencies grow by the day.
Ventura county? Wonder what counties (I mean economy) they’ve targeted in Florida…
Well I guess it’s a good thing gEnOcIdE Joe or Kamala didn’t get elected… that’s OP’s desire…
I mean right now we could have had a democrat admin, but it was clearly more important for OP to instead have an admin that completely abandons the possibility of a 2 state solution, deploys marines to US soil, and targets the safe haven of progressive voters….
All for a political moment that didn’t exist 6 months prior and frankly doesn’t seem to come up 6 months after… the GeNoCiDe crew is really quiet right now as trump does trump and stomps all over what they claim to hold dear…
That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.
White folks who don't understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.
