Trump's Food Crisis: Raids Turn Coachella Into HungerFest 2025
In a twist only 2025 could deliver, the Trump administration’s immigration raids have turned California’s Coachella Valley — the nation’s winter salad bowl and a paradise 2.5 hours east of LA — into a suspense thriller starring starving families, three-family-trailer Tetris, and kids skipping school over viral abduction videos. Farmworker organizer Rosalba De La Cruz says people ‘just sit inside, getting depressed,’ while local hero Reyes Lopez baffles that ICE's hot-baking raids happen where temps hit 115°F, like roasting human fajitas. With over 65% poverty, a desperate food bank line lines up at Mission San Juan Diego. Meanwhile DHS brags they’re making ‘America safe’ by arresting needed workers while White House insists America has plenty of hands; apparently, the only things growing this season are arrests and hunger.

Only in America: Deport all the farmworkers so you can warn about a food crisis caused by deporting all the farmworkers. It’s like burning down the kitchen, then blaming the missing food on the fire department’s bad timing.
Raids in Coachella have families cramming 15 people into trailers like a very desperate game of Tetris, but sure, DHS says we have plenty of American hands waiting to pick lettuce in 115-degree heat. That’s optimism, or just delusion.
Watching farmworkers hide inside because ICE is picking off parents in cars is peak 2025: reality TV meets dystopian horror. Meanwhile, the administration offers ‘crime prevention’ advice when the only crime here is starvation by policy.
