Estimates show more than eight million undocumented <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>immigrants</span></a> work in the United States. </p><p>"Last Friday, federal immigration agents swept through the garment district of Los Angeles, setting off protests that have rattled sections of downtown L.A. and have spread to a number of cities across the country.<br> <br>"For <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear. </p><p>" 'Children are terrified,' Ms. Romero said. 'They don’t want to go to school because they don’t know if their parents will be home when they come back.'</p><p>"Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors.

A handful of federal operations have been conducted in other rural communities in recent weeks. Last month, federal agents pulled over a bus in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlbionN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlbionN</span></a>., and detained 14 immigrants who worked at a nearby farm. In April, three children and their mother were detained at an upstate New York dairy. </p><p>"Rural migrants are particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement because they stand out in towns that are often racially homogenous, said Will Lambek of Migrant Justice, an advocacy organization for farmworkers in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Vermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vermont</span></a>, where eight dairy workers were detained in April.</p><p>"In California, Ms. Davalos said the agents could have made more arrests had the community been less prepared. Once a volunteer spotted officers in the area, an alert was sent through a network of support.</p><p>"Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said.
