Jaime Alanís García (57, Mexican) died on 2025-07-12 during or as a result of a ICE/CBP (multi-agency raid, Glass House Farms cannabis facility) operation, in Camarillo, California. During a large ICE cannabis-farm raid he climbed onto a greenhouse roof to evade agents, called family saying he was hiding, then fell ~30 feet, fracturing his neck and skull; died on life support July 12 (fell July 10).

Official account
