- Lisa Tate, a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura County, California, highlights the impact of ICE raids on local farms.
- The raids, part of President Trump's migration crackdown, have caused 70% of farmworkers to disappear, leading to unpicked crops and potential financial ruin for farmers.
- Tate expresses concern that most Americans are unwilling to do farm work, and the current situation may push many farmers to bankruptcy.
