Can Undocumented Farmworkers File a Roundup Lawsuit Without Fear of Deportation?

For decades, farmworkers have handled Roundup and other powerful herbicides, often with little to no protection or warning about the potential health risks. Many of these essential workers are undocumented, living in the shadows and fearing that any interaction with the legal system could lead to deportation. This fear often forces them to suffer in silence, even after receiving a devastating cancer diagnosis like non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

If you are an undocumented farmworker who has become sick, you may believe you have no rights and no recourse. This is not true. A fundamental principle of the U.S. justice system is that everyone, regardless of their immigration status, has the right to seek justice in a court of law.
