The UFW claims the recent Border Patrol operation in Bakersfield was a scare tactic aimed at intimidating Latino workers, raising fears about future enforcement under the new administration.
UFW's Ambar Tovar detailed how individuals reported being detained in a van with 36 others, suggesting the number of detainees may exceed the official count of 78.
With 50 detainees already deported, UFW asserts that many of those arrested included U.S. citizens and permanent residents, challenging the legitimacy of the operation.
The presence of more than 50 agents, alongside aerial support, marks this as the most aggressive operation by Border Patrol in the predominantly Latino community of Bakersfield.
