Newsom donor's cannabis farm under federal investigation for 'child labor violations'

The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.

Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.

According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.

Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott tweeted that the farm is "now under investigation for child labor violations" and the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News on Friday that nine unaccompanied children in the U.S. illegally were rescued.

"So glad our law enforcement could rescue another child," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.

Glass House Brands said in a statement that they complied with the federal warrants issued.

Newscum is a child labor champion! What a pig. Ten children, 8 “unaccompanied” were being forced to labor on Newscum happy smoke “farm.” “Farm my ...***. Just heard on FNC that these beloved Marijuana farms weren’t even paying their illegals to work. Geez. America’s human trafficking child labor industry has to be destroyed and those hundreds of thousands of “uaccompanied” child laborers returned to their parents on the other side of the border.

Remember what they said about legalizing pot? “It will reduce crime and gangs!”

This is typical Newscum. How dare they raid his butt buddies’ child slave operation. Exposing children to toxic pesticides just to earn a few bucks for his presidential aspirations.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t force children to work.

It’s still against Federal law to deal in marijuana. The Feds should own that farm.
8 USC Sec 1324
(A)Any person who, during any 12-month period, knowingly hires for employment at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that the individuals are aliens described in subparagraph (B) shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
(B)An alien described in this subparagraph is an alien who—(i)is an unauthorized alien (as defined in section 1324a(h)(3) of this title), and
(ii)has been brought into the United States in violation of this subsection.
