ICE Raids California Cannabis Farms, Dozens Detained

Federal immigration agents raided two Glass House Farms cannabis facilities in Southern California, detaining at least a dozen workers and sparking violent clashes with hundreds of protesters, including community members and farmworkers. The large-scale ICE operation featured agents in military-style gear, use of tear gas, smoke bombs, and rubber bullets, and was supported by the National Guard. Protesters attempted to block roads and were met with crowd control measures, resulting in several injuries requiring medical attention. Local leaders, including Congressman Salud Carbajal and the mayor of Oxnard, condemned the raids as excessive and disruptive. The operation has drawn criticism for targeting immigrant workers and deploying disproportionate force. The raids have prompted ongoing legal action and review by state and local authorities.
