Marco Antonio Hernández Guevara did everything "right." He came to the US legally on an H-2A visa. But coming here legally doesn't protect you. The US Dept of Labor updated the H-2A program last fall to keep farm workers from succumbing to heat stroke. Trump cancelled those updates in June.

Family photo of Marco Antonio Hernández Guevara with his wife and youngest four-year-old daughter, as he was leaving for the US to work on farms. They're standing in front of coach buses at a bus station, presumably the charter buses that farm labor contractors rent to bring workers to the US.
