Behind the masks: Who are the people rounding up immigrants in California?
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 17 – California lawmakers back Senate Bill 627 to ban mask use by federal immigration agents amid labor shortages affecting 1 to 1.3 million undocumented workers, advocates say.
- On July 10, 2025, federal immigration officers and demonstrators faced off in the vicinity of an agricultural site close to Camarillo amid ongoing deportation efforts in Southern California.
- The Trump administration is carrying out promised deportations targeting undocumented workers, while Democrats propose laws to unmask federally masked agents amid widespread public confrontations.
- Farmworkers classified as essential face deportation risks that farm and factory leaders say U.S. workers cannot easily replace, threatening the agricultural economy and food security on the Central Coast.
- Senator Scott Wiener supports the No Secret Police Act to require officers to remove masks and show identification, while ICE Director Todd Lyons defends masked agents for officer safety.
- These immigration enforcement actions create a high-risk labor environment that could disrupt food supply chains, elevate prices, and pressure industry margins unless policymakers address labor and legal challenges.
