US EditionImmigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk
- Federal immigration agents conducted enforcement actions earlier this month in Ventura County, California, causing disruptions to the local agricultural labor force.
- The raids followed President Donald Trump's migration crackdown and caused many immigrant workers, including unauthorized ones, to stop showing up, threatening crop harvests.
- Farm supervisors report up to 70 percent worker absences leading to unharvested crops that can spoil within one day, with native-born workers not filling the gaps.
- Economist Bernard Yaros highlighted in a June 26 report that native-born workers generally do not step in to replace immigrant farm laborers who have left, while farmer Greg Tesch mentioned that ICE actions are causing concern even among authorized workers.
- The labor shortage has caused financial strain on farmers, potential price hikes for consumers, and increased calls for balancing immigration enforcement with agricultural stability.
