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

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.
