Tragically, a farm worker fell nearly 30 feet from a greenhouse roof, sustaining critical injuries, and later died Child labor investigators also found at least 10 minors on site, prompting probes into potential exploitation A federal judge subsequently issued a restraining order to curb potential racial profiling and ensure detainees receive legal representation
