Please send your thank you notes to White House c/o Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller

 
Headline: Reuters, 7/1/2025

Tim Reid, Sebastian Rocandio, Pilar Olivares and Leah Douglas report:
In the vast agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, stretching from Ventura County into the state’s central valley, two farmers, two field supervisors and four immigrant farmworkers told Reuters this month that the ICE raids have led a majority of workers to stop showing up. 
That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time, they said.  [emphasis added]
One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries last week. Usually he would have 300 workers, he said. On this day he had just 80. Another supervisor at a different farm said he usually has 80 workers in a field, but today just 17.
