Federal Agents Raid Camarillo Farm, Clash With 500 Protesters

Federal immigration agents conducted a large-scale enforcement operation at a farm near Camarillo, California, on July 10, 2025, which led to significant clashes with protesters. Videos and eyewitness reports show agents using tear gas, smoke pellets, and rubber bullets against a crowd of about 500 people who gathered to protest the raids. Protesters blocked roads and confronted federal agents, who at times drove vehicles through farm fields to disperse the crowd. There were reports of injuries and a declared mass casualty incident, with ambulances seen entering and leaving the site. The operation included agents from Homeland Security and the U.S. National Guard, and involved detaining many workers inside the facility, with some U.S. citizens reportedly taken into custody. Local authorities confirmed the involvement of federal agents, while community groups expressed concerns about the impact on farmworkers and their families.
