Cannabis farmworker in California is on life support after chaotic federal immigration raid, family says

LOS ANGELES — A farmworker at a Southern California cannabis farm is in critical condition after being injured during a chaotic immigration raid by federal officers, local officials said Friday.

Jaime Alanis Garcia is hospitalized at Ventura County Medical Center and remains in critical condition, county officials said in a statement authorized by the man's family.

His family told NBC Los Angeles that the man is on life support using an assistive breathing machine and has "catastrophic" injuries. He has a broken neck, broken skull and a severed artery, a niece said.

The United Farm Workers had previously said Garcia, an employee of Glass House Farms, died after falling some 30 feet.

The United Farm Workers stated Alanís had died from his injuries on an X post on Friday, but family members have confirmed to KTLA that Alanís remains on life support at the Ventura County Medical Center.

Relatives said Alanís is likely to remain on life support until his wife arrives from Mexico to be by his side and to say goodbye.


Note: His name is sometimes reported as Jaime Alanis Garcia, and sometimes as Jaime Alanis.
