About this episode
Militarized ICE and Homeland Security raids targeted farms in California’s Central Coast on July 10th, with 200 farm workers ending up arrested, some being critically injured and one tragically losing his life. Masked and heavily armed ICE agents used tear gas and rubber bullets to target workers and those who came to their defense.
As soon as community members got word of the possible raids, they sprung into action, tracking the ICE caravan and sharing notifications through community networks that have been built up to keep residents safe from ICE. Organizations like VC Defensa mobilized to the Glass House Farms in Camarillo, staying for hours. To talk more about what happened in Ventura County, we’re joined by Ryan Drury and Lainy Yompian of the organization VC Defensa.
