Estimates show more than eight million undocumented <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigrants</a> work in the United States. "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. "For <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#farmworkers</a> — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear. " '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.'"Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CentralValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CentralValley</a> — which grows <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/almonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#almonds</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grapes</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/walnuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#walnuts</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cherries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cherries</a>, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data. " 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard. 'They create chaos in our city without contributing much to public safety. Furthermore these actions undermine the very principles of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DueProcess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DueProcess</a>.'"The raids this week represent the first organized immigration enforcement from the new Trump administration to hit California’s agricultural region, which covers about 40 percent of the state, Ms. Romero said. 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">#AlbionN</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. "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">#Vermont</a>, where eight dairy workers were detained in April."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."Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates. Employees also obscured their cars. 'We demonstrated the power of brave, nonviolent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#resistance</a> to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICE</a>’s tactics of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#terror</a>,' Ms. Davalos said, lamenting what she described as politically driven attempts to reach a deportation quota. 'At the end of the day, they’re seizing our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.'"If federal immigration enforcement activities continue, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodProduction</a> will become increasingly difficult, and food prices could rise, warned Bryan Little, senior director of policy advocacy at the California Farm Bureau."

Western ExposureWhen I grew up, in northern climes, oranges and mandarines were maybe no longer a luxury but definitely just a winter phenomenon. After eating them us kids used to squeeze the peel, spritzing the oils into the advent candles' flames for the crackle and scent. In my mind oranges will forever evoke the festive season. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ArtAdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArtAdventCalendar</a> Day 22 <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/StillLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StillLife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/FoodPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodPhotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DarkFieldLighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkFieldLighting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/oranges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oranges</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/almonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#almonds</a>
