Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her administration is considering filing a formal complaint in U.S. courts over immigration raids in the United States.

Last week, a Mexican national without legal status in the U.S. died after he fell from a building roof while attempting to flee an immigration operation in California.

Jaime Alanis Garcia, a cannabis farmworker who was injured during a chaotic immigration raid by federal authorities in Southern California, died on Saturday, his family said. His death came days after he fell about 30 feet during a raid by federal immigration agents at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California.

"The family is being supported. The family is being contacted, and we are also looking at the possibility of reporting there because it is unacceptable. It is being reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Sheinbaum said on Tuesday.

Why It Matters

Tensions in California have been escalating over U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policies, with protests and unrest erupting in Los Angeles last month following deportation raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents throughout the city. Trump has vowed to remove millions of migrants as part of the GOP's flagship mass deportation policy.

Garcia, 56, died at a hospital in Ventura County. He was admitted on Thursday with fractures to his skull and neck, along with a ruptured artery supplying blood to his brain.

Sheinbaum said Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was reviewing the legal avenues for filing the complaint.

She added that since January 20, when Trump's second term began, 75,341 people had been deported, including 68,790 Mexicans and 6,551 foreign nationals.

The Food Chain Workers Alliance, a national coalition of worker-based organizations involved in various aspects of the food system, said ICE has become more aggressive.

What People Are Saying

Jose Lopez, the interim executive director of the Food Chain Workers Alliance, told Newsweek: "Farmworkers are living in a state of constant fear, unsure if taking their children to day care or school might be the last thing they do before being apprehended by ICE.

"ICE is operating with unprecedented boldness, targeting street vendors, community members, and anyone who is a person of color or has an accent. These individuals have become prime targets."

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a news conference: "The possibility of denouncing there is being seen because it is unacceptable. … There cannot be another case like these, and that is why the complaint has to be filed in the courts there."
