Federal agents raid pot farms employing illegal immigrants in California

The demonstrators clashed with the federal authorities Thursday during an immigration operation north of Los Angeles on a marijuana farm which employed illegal immigrants.

Several agents have arrived in the farms of Glass House, an installation of cannabis linked to the State which is considered illegal under the Federal Law, in Camallo. Federal authorities had a mandate for illegal employees, Fox News learned.

Another raid also occurred in another glass house farm in Carpinteria.

People have been seen that agents faced, who used tear gas and smoke bombs. Federal staff used gas to repel the demonstrators who arrived at the scene after obtaining a word from a raid.

Military helicopters have also been seen flying in the fields, a maneuver generally used to eliminate people hiding.

“It becomes more and more obvious that the actions taken by ice are daring and aggressive, demonstrating insensitivity to the direct impact on our community,” said Luis Mc Arthur, mayor of Oxnard nearby, in a position of social media. “These actions cause unnecessary distress and damage. I remain determined to work alongside our general prosecutor and the governor’s office to explore potential legal avenues to fight these activities.”

Images captured by the media have shown that several people were detained.

Four people were transported to the hospital, said the County of Ventura fire service. Three additional people were treated on the scene without being transported, Fox Los Angeles reported.

The American representative Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., Said that he had gone to the scene of the Capeteria raid, saying that 50 ice agents had arrived on the farm.

“It’s deplorable. It shouldn’t happen on our soil,” he said in a video message. “Individuals dressed as military staff on our soil. We don’t do it in America.”

“It was exaggerated. It was ridiculous. It was a bunch of shit,” he added.

Thursday’s raid is one of the many who have occurred in South California, to the great anger of local and state democrats.

Earlier this week, the immigration authorities were in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles doing a raid. The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, condemned the operation and the Trump administration for having targeted illegal immigrants for expulsion.

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

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