"ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid"
"Agriculture is a $2 Billion industry in the county and local farms rely on migrants to pick the crops year-round. Raids like Tuesday's could have a significant impact on what's planted and picked at these produce farms.
'The individuals affected by these operations, they're not criminals. They are hardworking families who make meaningful contributions to our local economy and to our greater community.' said McArthur.
The Oxnard Police Department Chief Jason Benites said the department does not participate or assist federal immigration enforcement."
