Democrats are continuing their assault on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by faking outrage over a raid where officers saved illegal alien children from an alleged child labor operation on a marijuana farm in Southern California.
ICE agents on Thursday executed a federal search warrant at a Camarillo, Ventura County, marijuana growing operation, Glass House Farms, where 10 illegal alien children were found (eight without an adult) allegedly staffing the farm. A raid of another Glass House Farms location happened in Carpinteria on the same day. According to the Los Angeles Times, officials said that 200 illegal aliens were also detained.
Footage of the raid showed violent protesters throwing rocks at the agents, and one even appeared to fire a gun at ICE agents. But that did not stop the media and other Democrats from lying through their teeth, falsely claiming these were just innocent people picking strawberries, having smeared ICE agents as “Nazis” for months.
Dopey California Democrat Rep. Jimmy Gomez perpetuated the lie, claiming these marijuana grow-op workers were “immigrant farm workers who feed America.” Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., added to the slop saying, “Instead of prioritizing dangerous criminals Trump is targeting families that have been here for years picking our food. The public outcry and protests are occuring [sic] because the American public knows this is wrong.”
If “public outcry” means shooting at federal agents, hurling rocks at them, and bayonetting their vehicles with Mexican flags, then Gallego was apparently correct that kind of unlawful behavior is taking place. In reality, the Camarillo raid brought about 500 agitators to obstruct federal law enforcement, many of whom almost immediately became violent, forcing officers to use nonlethal force like tear gas to make the situation safer. --->READ MORE HERE
10 illegal migrant kids found at raided California pot farm: ‘Looks like potential human trafficking’:
Ten illegal migrant youths, most of them unaccompanied, were found at a California marijuana farm during a tense immigration raid on Thursday, prompting federal officials to launch an investigation into possible child labor violations.
The youngsters, one just 14 years old, were discovered by federal agents at Glass House Farms in Southern California during a chaotic operation in which one protester appeared to fire a gun at authorities, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said on X Thursday.
“This is Newsom’s California,” Scott said in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who shared a video of the raid.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed Friday the feds “rescued” eight of the minors, who crossed the border “unaccompanied.”
McLaughlin said the alarming situation “looks like exploitation, violation of child labor laws and potentially human trafficking or smuggling.”
Scott announced the child labor probe into the farm in his Thursday night social media post.
The farm’s president, Graham Farrar, is a regular donor to Democratic politicians, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Farrar has donated to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif, on multiple occasions, according to the records.
He also donated $10,000 to Newsom in 2018, according to California records.
Glass House Brands defended their employment practices and denied hiring kids in a statement posted Friday on X.
“Yesterday, Glass House Brands received immigration and naturalization warrants. As per the law, we verified that the warrants were valid and we complied. Workers were detained and we are assisting to provide them legal representation,” the company wrote. --->READ MORE HERE
