A farmer who fell from a greenhouse roof during an anti-immigrant attack on a licensed marijuana facility in California this week had died of injuries.
Jaime Alanis, 57, was the first person to die as a result of attacks and enforcement of immigration Donald Trump (ICE).
His nephew, Yesenia Duran, was posted on the gofundme fundraising site to say that his uncle was the only provider of his family and he had sent his income back to his wife and daughter in Mexico.
United food workers said Alanis had worked in agriculture for 10 years.
“This cruel and cruel federal acts terrorized the American community, disturbing the chain of American food supply, threatening lives and separate families,” said the union in a new statement about X.
The Department of Domestic Security (DHS) said that his party executed a criminal search warrant at the greenhouse farming facility on Thursday.
Mr Alanis called his family to say he was hiding and maybe the agent fled before he fell about 30 feet (9M) from the roof and broke his neck, according to information from the family, hospitals and government sources.
Agents arrested 200 people suspected of being in the country illegally and identified at least 10 immigrant children at the location, DHS said in a statement.
Mr Alanis was not among them, said the agency.
“This man is not inside and not yet in CBP (Customs and Border Protection) or ICE prisoner,” said Assistant Secretary of DHS for Public Affairs Tricia Mclaughlin.
“Even though he was not pursued by law enforcers, this person climbed to the roof of the greenhouse and fell 30 feet. CBP immediately called Medivac to the scene to make him care as fast as possible.”

Four US residents were arrested during the incident for allegedly “attacking or opposing officers”, said DHS, and the authorities offered a $ 50,000 prize for information that leads to the arrest of someone suspected of firing weapons to federal agents.

In a statement, Glass House, a licensed marijuana planting, said that immigration agents have a legal warrant. It is said that workers are detained and help give them legal representatives.
“The greenhouse never consciously violates the prevailing recruitment practices and is not and has never employed minors,” he added.
