CAMARILLO, Calif. - Several protesters and federal agents clashed during an immigration raid at a farm in Ventura ...Glass House Farms, a licensed cannabis facility... around 11 a.m. Another raid also occurred at another Glass House Farm in Carpinteria.

Video from the scene in Camarillo showed multiple people confronting agents on the road near the field. Throughout the day, the protest continued to grow. Tear gas and smoke bombs were thrown into the crowd multiple times throughout the day. Federal personnel used gas to push back protesters who arrived on scene after getting word of a raid.

Military helicopters were seen flying low over the fields, a maneuver generally used to flush out people hiding.

Despite being a cannabis farm, the DEA said the Department of Homeland Security is leading the operation. DHS released a statement later in the evening saying only, "DHS law enforcement is executing a warrant at a marijuana facility. Our brave officers will continue to enforce the law." ... But as the crowd grew, so did tensions… with some people turning to violence. A white SUV drove into a crowd of people and around 5:43 p.m, protesters were seen throwing rocks at vans trying to leave the area. ... He was told the operation could result in the arrest of hundreds, making it potentially one of the largest single operations during the Trump administration

The protestors may not realize cannabis possession,
selling, growing, etc. is a federal crime.

How is what these protesters are doing with ICE any different than someone running interference with the police trying to apprehend bank robbers or burglary suspects caught in the act? In those cases those “interferers” are called accomplices, and arrested along with the perps.

It shouldn’t be any different here.

Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott posted to X that 10 undocumented minors at the Camarillo farm, eight of them unaccompanied, were found and Glass House is now under investigation for child labor violations.

I watched the Fox News coverage of the feral lawlessness of the crowd. One outraged guy came up to the Fox reporter complaining that ICE broke open the door to one of his greenhouses. They were looking for more minor children and this jerk could care less. His door was more important than children.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Trump should announce that if the Police, ICE or Border Security catch any of these INSURRECTIONIST RIOTERS throwing something or attacking them they will be INELIGIBLE for ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENT WELFARE MONEY forever. Retinal eye scan, fingerprints and DNA will be taken just in case they change their name. Wanna stop this FAST? Threaten to take away their money.

Soros many pay them for their time but he will NOT pay to keep them forever monetarily.

These INSURRECTIONISTS WEARING MASKS most likely live off of government welfare programs. I bet most have no job. (Unless you count getting paid to RIOT). If we take away their section 8 or other benefits I bet they would all go home.

Benefits can be removed for certain behaviors, like selling drugs or offering false in and the list goes on. I would think BREAKING FEDERAL LAW against your country could count. Or charge them w TREASON.

Hire more police and have one group go after these MASKED INSURREECTIONISTS and the other police go after the illegals.

response: to this question I asked in internet “If you riot against the government can you lose government welfare program money”?
Lawful protest is the right and duty of citizens to alter or abolish any government that does not secure unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, participating in illegal activities or welfare fraud can result in imprisonment, fines, and loss of access to certain benefits

“after getting word of a raid” Where is this “word” coming from and how long in advance do they get it? It must take a day or two for these losers to organize.

You are exactly right.
