Jaime Alanis García was a 56-year-old Mexican farmworker known for his decade-long work at Glass House Farms, a cannabis, tomato, and cucumber grower in Camarillo, California. Originally from Huajúmbaro de Guadalupe, Mexico, he immigrated to the United States seeking a better life and consistently supported his family back home through remittances, contributing to community projects such as the chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe in his hometown[1]. On July 10, 2025, during a large-scale immigration enforcement raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and National Guard soldiers at Glass House Farms, García tragically died after falling approximately 30 feet from the roof of a greenhouse. He apparently climbed onto the roof while fleeing from the chaos created by the raid. He suffered fatal head and neck injuries and died two days later in Ventura County Medical Center[1][2][3][4]. The raid resulted in the detention of over 300 people suspected of being in the country illegally, but ICE maintained that García was not in their custody nor actively pursued at the time of his fall. The Department of Homeland Security stated that medical assistance was promptly called to the scene[1][2][4]. García’s family and attorneys have filed a federal court claim alleging illegal search and seizure and excessive force by ICE agents, seeking accountability and damages for his wrongful death[2]. García’s death drew attention to the wider issues of immigration enforcement tactics and their impact on farmworkers, with activists and family members calling for justice and reforms. His funeral was held in his Mexican hometown, where he was remembered for his dedication to his family and community[1][3].
