The death of a Mexican farmworker during a raid by federal officers at a California cannabis farm has sparked an outcry over ICE tactics.

Trump administration officials defended the campaign to find and deport unlawful immigrants even as a cannabis farmworker was pulled from life support Saturday.

During an immigration raid on Thursday, a worker fell from a greenhouse at a cannabis farm. A farmworkers union had initially said the worker died on Friday, but a lawyer for the family said the death occurred Saturday afternoon.
