US EditionImmigration Raids Are Threatening Businesses that Supply America's Food, Farm Bureaus Say
- This month, extensive immigration enforcement actions took place at agricultural sites across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties in California, resulting in the detention of at least 43 farmworkers since Monday.
- These raids, involving ICE agents attempting to enter five packing facilities without warrants and operations in ten fields, have terrorized immigrant communities on California’s central coast.
- Amid growing fear of immigration enforcement, roughly one-quarter to nearly half of farmworkers have ceased attending their jobs, resulting in unharvested produce and causing delays in packing facilities and disruptions throughout food supply networks.
- American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall expressed eagerness to collaborate with the President on measures to maintain a stable food supply, while Governor Gavin Newsom described the announcement as a significant achievement.
- Continued immigration enforcement in this direction threatens food production and supply consistency across the U.S., given California farms produce over a third of vegetables and most fruits and nuts.
