A farm worker hospitalized with brain damage during an immigrant attack on a Ventura County cannabis farm has been killed, his family confirmed Saturday.
On July 10, Jaime Alanis was trying to avoid an officer when he fell 30 feet from the building and was seriously injured.
He stayed on life support at Ventura County Medical Center. His family said he would remain on life support until his wife arrives from Mexico and is by his side and say goodbye.
On Saturday afternoon, the family confirmed that Alanis had passed away.

“I’m very hearted and my uncle has passed away,” his nie writes on the Gofundme page, helping the man’s family.
Unwilling to be identified, his nie said Alanis was texting his family until the time of the accident.
“He was hiding. After a while he didn’t respond and he knew something was going to happen,” she said.
The US Department of Homeland Security said Alanis was not detained and chased during the incident.
“He was not pursued by law enforcement, but the individual climbed onto the roof of a greenhouse and fell 30 feet,” DHS Deputy Chief Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “CBP immediately invited Mediback to the scene and cared as soon as possible.”
The family said Alanis has been working in the US for 30 years to return to Mexico to provide his wife and daughter.
United Farm workers issued a statement Friday confirming that farm workers were seriously injured during the attack, saying “other workers, including US citizens, remain unmeasured.”
The July 10th attack on a glasshouse cannabis farm near Camarillo and another farm at Carpinteria is considered to be the largest one-day immigration enforcement project in California history.
In a post on X on Saturday, DHS Chief Christa Noem said the officers arrested “319 illegal aliens” and “rescued 14 children from potential forced labor, exploitation and human trafficking.”
