ICE Raids California Cannabis Farm: 200 Arrested

Border Czar Tom Homan on Friday angrily condemned the violence at a California pot farm as proof anti-ICE protests will turn deadly, blaming the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrats comparing agents to Nazis.

Homan spoke out the morning after protesters were seen hurling rocks — and one even appeared to fire a gun — at agents stamping down on a massive marijuana operation where they found 10 illegal-migrant juveniles, eight of whom were there without an adult.

Immigration agents who descended on Glass House Farms in the city of Camarillo — one of the biggest cannabis farms in Southern California — were met by dozens of demonstrators gathered on a road between fields where the uniformed officers stood in a line across from them.

A military-style helicopter flew overhead, video shows.

Protesters shouted and screeched until agents used canisters with an unknown substance and fired less-than-lethal rounds, forcing them to retreat. Several of the protesters threw what appeared to be rocks back at the officers, according to ABC 7.

As they retreated, a masked man in all black appeared to let off a few shots among a crowd of other protesters scampering away from advancing agents.

The FBI has now launched an investigation into the alleged shooting and is offering a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to a conviction.

The clash lasted four hours as US Customs and Border Protection set up a blockade with military-style vehicles in the pastoral region.

Video from ABC 7 shows numerous workers being taken into custody at the scene. It’s unclear exactly how many were detained.

Five people were taken to the hospital, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The farm is now under investigation for child labor violations, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott announced late Thursday night after 10 juveniles — “all illegal aliens” — were found at the facility, including eight without an adult, he said.
