Federal immigration authorities conducted coordinated enforcement operations at two licensed cannabis cultivation sites in Southern California on Thursday, discovering 10 minors and detaining “about 200 individuals” without papers who are suspected of being illegal aliens.
Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that “ICE and CBP Law Enforcement” had to “dodge literal bullets from rioters” who were seemingly forewarned about the operation.
During the operation, at least 10 migrant children were rescued from potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking. Federal officers also arrested approximately 200 illegal aliens from both sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo,” the DHS stated.

There were also incoming reports of a “fatal fall” involving one farmworker who attempted to escape during the operation. The United Farm Workers (UFW) union reported that the worker at the Camarillo greenhouse location, who fell “several stories” during Thursday’s operation, did in fact pass away. According to UFW representative Elizabeth Strater, the individual was transported from the Ventura County site by ambulance, and on Friday morning, the union confirmed that he had died as a result of the incident.
FBI confirmed that the agency is investigating a shooting incident that took place during the enforcement operation in Camarillo.
Footage obtained by ABC7 News appeared to depict a rioter shooting his firearm at federal immigration agents following the deployment of smoke canisters — intending to disperse the crowd.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott announced on X that ten illegal alien children were discovered at the facility during the raid, including eight who were “unaccompanied.” He emphasized that the site is now under federal investigation for potential child labor violations.
