Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has denounced recent US immigration raids on California farms, calling them unfair and harmful to the US economy. She highlighted the essential role of Mexican and Latino migrant labor, warning that without them, key agricultural states risk seeing crops go unharvested.

Following the raids, Mexican consular staff began visiting detention centers to identify detained nationals. Sheinbaum also announced increased funding for consulates in the US to boost legal aid for affected Mexicans, according to Xinhua.
