Federal agents conduct immigration raid at Southern California farm, clash with protestors
CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) – Federal agents conducted an immigration enforcement operation at an agricultural area in Ventura County on Thursday that led to a clash with demonstrators.
The operation was taking place at a farm along Laguna Road near Camarillo. AIR7 was over the scene surrounded by fields as federal agents formed a line across the street.
At one point, a group of protesters were seen facing off with agents, some of whom threw smoke canisters towards the growing crowd. . . .

Copilot says it’s a large operation, not at all Ma and Pa farmers
Glass House Farms is part of Glass House Brands, one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis companies in California. Their operations span over 5.5 million square feet of greenhouse cultivation space, and they’ve reported quarterly revenues exceeding $53 million as of Q2 2024 . . .
You know they HAD to hire illegals because no American would ever work in a cannabis greenhouse. They do the jobs no Americans want at any price.
President George W. Bush (2004)
“This program would match willing foreign workers with willing American employers for jobs Americans are not doing.”
Senator Lindsey Graham (2006)
“We need a system that allows people to come here and do jobs that Americans won’t do.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (2024):
“One of the things that I ask [voters] is how many of your children are you raising to go and work on the farms? And I usually get absolutely zero hands.”
Paul Krugman, Economist and New York Times Columnist (2019):
“Immigrants, both legal and (yes) illegal, are disproportionately represented in low-wage jobs like farm work and domestic service—jobs that most native-born Americans avoid.”
Oh lookie here:
back in 2021 when the marijuana company bought the facility they laid off the 486 preople who had been working there as tomato growers.
Glass House Inc. was started by a hedge fund guy whon consolidated 4 funds to open this business.
The company president makes $4.67million per year.
The CFO makes $1.95 million per year
and so on.
You’d THINK they could pay wages sufficient to attract Americans or legal workers. I mean it’s California—somebody in California knows how to grow marijuana in a greenhouse, right?
I can show you how to check those too.
