Meet Maritza and Carlos. This husband wife team work in Ducor CA picking bins of citrus for $30 each bin. At the end of their day both are tired and dirty but still thankful to be able to continue to work and support their family. #WeFeedYou
Venezuela 🇻🇪: @ituc and @CSA_TUCA strongly condemn the US military aggression against Venezuela and the violation of its sovereignty. We call for respect for the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination, the immediate release of all those detained, and a return to peaceful and democratic dialogue. Peace and international law must prevail. ituc-csi.org/ituc-tuca-vene…

Seeing questions about the LA federal judge order last week and what impact it has on this Sacramento immigration operation? The answer is zero. Judge Frimpong’s order applies to the Central District of CA (7 SoCal Counties). Sacramento is in the Eastern District of CA, where there is a different federal judge’s order in effect barring immigration arrests without probable cause. Agents tell us today’s Home Depot operation was in accordance with that order. They conducted two days of surveillance on the Home Depot, running license plates that came back to previously deported illegal immigrants, giving them a suspicion that aliens would be present there. Then, when they arrived in Border Patrol marked vests, those who immediately fled from them without a word being spoken gave them probable cause.
Brian Gavidia told us he was stopped by a Border Patrol agent in Montebello and despite telling him he was American, was pushed against this fence. He said he gave his real ID to the agent and never got it back. CBP did not explain what happened here. Here’s video his friend took
Who is the real threat? The farm worker, or the people hunting us?
