The farm worker who died from injuries he sustained after falling from a greenhouse roof during an Ice raid of a California cannabis farm was a “hard-working, innocent farmer” and the sole provider for his wife and daughter, his family says. Jaime Alanís died a day after a frenzied immigration raid of Glass House Farms in Ventura county where authorities arrested at least 200 workers. Family members said he suffered catastrophic injuries – including a broken neck, fractured skull and severed artery – during the “reckless” raid. “Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanís, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday,” the advocacy group said. We continue to work with hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.”
