The article discusses the fear and uncertainty faced by undocumented farm workers in Oxnard, California, due to increased immigration enforcement. ICE raids have led to arrests and created a climate of fear, causing workers to hide in fields and avoid public spaces. These raids are part of President Trump's goal of deporting 3,000 undocumented immigrants daily. The impact on the agricultural sector has raised concerns about food supply shortages, and local businesses are also suffering as workers stay home.
本文讲述了由于移民执法行动的加强，加州奥克斯纳德的无证农场工人所面临的恐惧和不确定性。美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的突袭导致了逮捕，并制造了一种令人恐惧的氛围，使工人们躲藏在田野中并避免外出。这些突袭是特朗普总统每天驱逐3000名无证移民目标的一部分。农业部门受到的影响引发了对粮食供应短缺的担忧，而当地企业也因工人居家而受到影响。
