Immigration operation at California cannabis farms leads to clash between federal agents and protesters
Share this @internewscast.com

On Thursday, demonstrators confronted federal officials during an immigration raid at a marijuana farm suspected of hiring unauthorized workers, located north of Los Angeles.

Several agents descended on Glass House Farms, a state-licensed cannabis operation deemed illegal under federal regulations, situated in Camarillo. Fox News reported that federal officials executed a warrant targeting undocumented employees.

Another raid also occurred at another Glass House Farm in Carpinteria.

The Ventura County Fire Department stated that four individuals were taken to the hospital, while three others received medical attention on-site without needing hospitalization, as per Fox Los Angeles.

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., said he went to the scene of the raid in Capenteria, saying 50 ICE agents arrived at the farm. 

“This is deplorable. This should not be happening on our soil,” he said in a video message. “Individuals dressed like military personnel on our soil. We don’t do that in America.”

“This was overkill. This was ridiculous. This was a bunch of crap,” he added. 

Thursday’s raid is one of many that have happened in Southern California, much to the anger of local and state Democratic officials. 

Earlier this week, immigration authorities were in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles conducting a raid. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the operation and the Trump administration for targeting illegal immigrants for deportation. 

Bass has demanded the federal government end such operations in the city. 

Los Angeles and eight other cities have sued the Trump administration, calling the tactics used by federal agents “unconstitutional,” arguing they are being used to instill fear rather than to protect the public.
