Farm workers Walk Out Of Fields And Off Their Jobs

Farm workers throughout Southern California are expected to walk off the job Wednesday morning.

They are protesting ICE raids, and organizers hope shoppers will protest with their dollars. Advocates for the workers say they are organizing a three day "Strike with Dignity" campaign. It calls on farm workers to take extreme action by walking out of local fields, and off their jobs.

Shoppers are being asked to participate by boycotting buying fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry products during the work stoppage.

Just a few days ago, hundreds of workers were arrested as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stormed several fields in Camarillo, California, just north of Los Angeles.

ICE also raided a marijuana growing operation where one migrant died after falling off a roof while trying to evade arrest, according to Border Report.
