Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' Padilla said to Noem, which prompted several men to physically push him out of the room. It was unclear who the men were, as several were dressed in plainclothes.</p><p>"Padilla's office shared a video of the incident with NBC News. The video shows Padilla being taken into a hallway outside and pushed face forward onto the ground as officers with FBI-identifying vests told the senator to put his hands behind his back. The officers then handcuffed him.</p><p>"President Donald Trump's immigration policies — and the administration's handling of demonstrations against those policies — have sparked an outcry in recent days. After protesters clashed with officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles on Friday, the president deployed members of the National Guard, and later Marines, to assist local law enforcement. Dozens of demonstrations have taken place across the country in the days that followed.</p><p>"Speaking to reporters later Thursday, Padilla said he was receiving a briefing from military officials when he learned Noem was in the same building and decided to join her briefing.</p><p>" 'I was there peacefully,' he said. 'At one point, I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed.'</p><p>"He added, 'If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they’re doing to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FarmWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FarmWorkers</span></a>, to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooks</span></a>, to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DayLaborers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DayLaborers</span></a> out in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LosAngeles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LosAngeles</span></a> community and throughout <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>California</span></a> and throughout the country.'

'Then you go out in the field, and the first ray of sun comes over the horizon. The first ray. Everyone looked at each other, and said, 'What did we do?' The thermometer went up like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. By 9 a.m., it was 110 degrees.'</p><p>"Garden gloves that the farmers gave the students to help them harvest lasted only four hours, because the cantaloupe's fine hairs made grabbing them feel like 'picking up sandpaper.' They got paid minimum wage — $1.40 an hour back then — plus 5 cents for every crate filled with about 30 to 36 fruits. Breakfast was 'out of the Navy,' Carter says — beans and eggs and bologna sandwiches that literally toasted in the heat, even in the shade.</p><p>"The University High crew worked six days a week, with Sundays off, and they were not allowed to return home during their stint. The farmers sheltered them in 'any kind of defunct housing,' according to Carter — old Army barracks, rooms made from discarded wood, and even buildings used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II.</p><p>"Problems arose immediately for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ATEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ATEAM</span></a> nationwide.

'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. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CentralValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CentralValley</span></a> — which grows <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/almonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>almonds</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grapes</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/walnuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walnuts</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cherries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cherries</span></a>, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data. </p><p>" 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard.

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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates.

Chema Hernández GilThe determination shown by Farm Labor Organizing Committee organizers from the late 1960s to today is truly admirable.
