- Large-Scale immigration raids targeting farmworkers occurred this past week in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, California.
- These raids led to growing fear in immigrant communities and caused 25% to 45% of farmworkers to stop showing up for work.
- As a result, fields remain unharvested, packinghouses fall behind, and supply chains from local stores to national retailers face disruption.

- Officials warn that ongoing enforcement risks food production and call for immigration reform to protect both farmworkers and the agricultural supply chain.
