ICE Raids at Cannabis Farms Spark Clashes, Rescue Minors

Federal immigration agents raided two Glass House Farms cannabis facilities in Southern California, detaining dozens of workers and rescuing 10 juvenile migrants, including unaccompanied minors allegedly employed in violation of child labor laws. The raids triggered intense protests, with hundreds of community members confronting agents and resulting in violent clashes involving tear gas, smoke grenades, and at least one protester firing a handgun at authorities. Several individuals, including protesters and possibly workers, were injured during the confrontation, and some migrants reportedly hid to avoid arrest. Congressional and state Democrats condemned the raids, claiming they targeted families and essential laborers rather than dangerous criminals, while federal officials defended the actions as necessary enforcement. The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information about the individual who fired at agents. The incident highlights ongoing national debates over immigration, labor rights, and enforcement at legal cannabis farms.
