Simon Law Group Takes on High-Profile Wrongful Death Case: Seeking Justice for Farmworker Family
The Simon Law Group is honored to announce our representation of the family of Jaime Alanis Garcia in a high-profile wrongful death case that has captured national attention. This tragic case involves the death of a 56-year-old farmworker during a federal immigration raid at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California.
The Tragic Incident
On July 10, 2025, Jaime Alanis Garcia was working at the Glass House Farms complex when federal immigration agents conducted a massive raid on the facility. During the chaotic operation, Mr. Garcia fell 30 feet from a cannabis greenhouse roof to the concrete floor below, sustaining fatal blunt-force head and neck injuries. He passed away two days later, leaving behind a devastated family.
According to ABC7 Los Angeles, Mr. Garcia suffered a broken neck and skull during the raid and was hospitalized in critical condition before his death. His family described him as “not just a farm worker, but a provider, and a human being who deserved dignity.”
National Media Coverage and Impact
This case has received extensive media coverage across the country, highlighting the serious questions surrounding the use of force during immigration enforcement operations. Major news outlets including NBC News and ABC7 Los Angeles have covered the story extensively.
The case represents the first known fatality resulting from an immigration raid, making it a landmark case that could have significant implications for how federal agencies conduct such operations.
Press Conference Coverage
The family’s legal team held a press conference in front of Los Angeles City Hall on August 6, 2025, to announce the filing of wrongful death claims. The press conference was covered by Fox News Los Angeles and highlighted the family’s demand for answers and justice.

The press conference featured attorneys from both firms addressing the media about the wrongful death claims filed against ICE, with Robert T. Simon and Robbie Munoz from the Simon Law Group, along with family members expressing their grief and determination to seek justice for their loved one.
The Human Cost and Community Impact
The Los Angeles Times reported that Mr. Garcia’s death has caused widespread fear and anger in migrant communities throughout Mexico. He was buried in his hometown of Huajúmbaro de Guadalupe, Michoacán, where hundreds of mourners gathered to pay their respects.
His death represents the tragic end of a journey that began with hope for a better life in California. As one mourner told the LA Times, “He was like so many of us, a hard-working person who went to California to earn a living, to help his family.”
Our Legal Strategy
The Simon Law Group, led by Robert T. Simon, in partnership with Singleton Schreiber, has filed claims with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on behalf of Mr. Garcia’s family seeking justice and compensation for their devastating loss.
Fighting for Transparency and Justice
Robert Simon, founder of the Simon Law Group, has emphasized that transparency is crucial in this case. Our firm is committed to ensuring that all evidence comes to light and that the family receives the answers they deserve about what happened to their loved one.
Broader Implications for Immigration Policy
This case has sparked broader discussions about immigration enforcement policies and their human consequences. The Los Angeles Times noted that Mr. Garcia’s death occurred during what was described as the first fatality tied to aggressive immigration enforcement policies.
The case has also highlighted the impact on mixed-status families and U.S. citizens who were caught up in the raid, with reports indicating that some U.S. citizens were among those detained during the operation.
What’s Next
The claims have been filed with ICE, and the agency has six months to respond. If the claims are denied or no response is received, the family can proceed to federal court.
