To the Editors: Michael Greenberg’s essay “In the Valley of Fear” captures the overwhelming sense of anxiety among many farm laborer families in California. Daily life among family members, whether traveling to work or to school, shopping, or just visiting friends, places them at risk of sudden arrest and possible deportation at the hands of federal ICE agents. At the same time, Greenberg inaccurately portrays recent trends in California agricultural production, and in the state’s farm labor market.
