- Jaime Alanis, a 57-year-old farmworker, died after falling from a greenhouse roof during a chaotic ICE raid at a California cannabis facility.
- His death marks the first fatality in one of the Trump administration's anti-immigration operations.
- Alanis was the sole provider for his family in Mexico, having worked at the farm for a decade.
- The Department of Homeland Security stated Alanis was not being pursued and was not in custody, claiming he climbed onto the roof and fell 30 feet.
- The raid led to the arrest of approximately 200 individuals suspected of being in the country illegally, alongside protests from crowds outside the facility.
