Charges dropped - ICE roughed up citizen, claimed he was uncooperative. Video shows otherwise. Arrested anyway. His boss was bloodied also by ICE. https://lataco.com/javier-ramirez-citizen-case

Worker dead in ICE raid - https://ktla.com/news/local-news/worker-dies-from-injuries-sustained-during-ventura-county-farm-raid-union-officials-say/
EDIT: Later reports indicate he's in critical condition on life support, and has not passed away. https://www.yahoo.com/news/cannabis-farmworker-california-life-support-213327060.html
LATER EDIT: Sadly, the gent, Jaime Alanis, has died. If Instagram does not load, there's https://www.gofundme.com/f/jaime-alanis-farm-worker-glasshousefarms
NOTE: Farm manager Edgar Rodriguez was arrested after repeatedly requested the agents ID themselves and asked why they had arrived heavily armed and with an armored vehicle. Was told they were not ICE. He was then assaulted and handcuffed. "Rodriguez said he saw at least 10 employees get arrested, all of them in their 40s to their 60s. He said several had work visas and have been in the U.S. for more than 20 years. "They were really scared," he said. "They kept saying they didn't do anything wrong, that they had visas."

Advisories / Re: U.S Passport for children
« Last post by OldLady on July 11, 2025, 06:21:42 PM »In case it helps:
Citizenship Through U.S. Parents
There are two general ways to obtain citizenship through U.S. citizen parents: at birth [see https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-3 ], and after birth but before the age of 18. Congress has enacted laws that determine how citizenship is conveyed by a U.S. citizen parent (or parents) to children born outside of the United States.
Who May Qualify for Acquisition of Citizenship
The law in effect at the time of birth determines whether someone born outside the United States to a U.S. citizen parent (or parents) is a U.S. citizen at birth. In general, these laws require that at least one parent was a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent had lived in the United States for a period of time.
In addition, children born abroad may become U.S. citizens after birth. For information and eligibility requirements for specific time periods, see the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 12, Part H, Children of U.S. Citizens.https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h
You might also want to look at https://www.usa.gov/citizenship-to-us-parent
As to doing the application for their passports online, everything I find points to you should contact the Embassy.
