Federal officials have released almost no information about what they did with the 361 alleged undocumented immigrants they arrested July 10 at Glass House cannabis farms near Camarillo.

According to local nonprofits, roughly half of the immigrants arrested have been deported since the raid.

Many of the other immigrants remain in federal custody, with a scattered few able to retain attorneys and obtain release on bond.

Juan Reyes lay flat on the greenhouse roof, hiding. Federal immigration agents milled through the Glass House farm below.

Reyes moved to the U.S. from Mexico at 10 years old, and though he never secured legal status, Oxnard became his home. As he hid, he thought of his wife, who is also undocumented, and their newborn daughter, a U.S. citizen.

After several hours on July 10, he surrendered. Agents bound his wrists roughly with zip ties. Reyes, 25, was one of hundreds of immigrant farmworkers arrested by federal agents in one massive raid on a pair of Glass House Farms cannabis greenhouse facilities in Carpinteria and outside Camarillo.
