Farmworkers Rally Against ICE Raids on César Chávez Day at Historic Delano Site

Unstoppable 5,000: Farmworkers Rally Against ICE Raids on César Chávez Day

On April 1, 2025, over 5,000 farmworkers marched in Delano, California, on César Chávez Day to protest ICE raids under the Trump administration. Held at the historic Forty Acres site of the 1965 grape strike, the “Con Estas Manos” rally highlighted the plight of undocumented workers—estimated at 60-70% of California’s farm labor force—who grow much of America’s produce. Led by figures like Carolina Sanchez and backed by the United Farm Workers, the march demanded labor protections amid rising deportations in the Central Valley. While some, like attorney Alex Dominguez, support the raids for targeting “bad actors,” voices like Gabriel Leal underscored the fear and necessity driving workers to the fields. With allies like California AG Rob Bonta joining in, the event echoed Chávez’s legacy, uniting supporters against xenophobia and for farmworker rights.
