This week Senator Monique Limón gave sobering remarks on the California Senate Floor before the Chamber adjourned for summer recess. There wasn’t a dry eye in the Chamber as she carefully described the travesty of farmworker Jaime Alanis Garcia, 57, who died a day after falling off a greenhouse roof during an immigration raid in Ventura County.

“Today the California State Senate adjourned in the memory of Jaime Alanis García, a Camarillo farm worker who died during the ICE raids last week. He had no criminal record and had worked in our agricultural fields for over a decade to provide for his family. My heart goes out to his loved ones and I thank them for allowing me to use my voice to honor his memory.”
Moreover, Senator Limón also provided a summary of the various state laws protecting undocmented workers and additional legislative actions to do more in providing critical and vital services to the immigrant community throughout the State of California.
Governor Gavin Newsom and State Legislative Leaders have also committed to these immediate legislative actions and to further underscore ‘due process’ provisions under State and Federal Law.
