Protesters confront federal agents in Camarillo, California farm raid A California professor was arrested for allegedly chucking a tear gas canister at ICE agents during a raid on a marijuana farm being investigated for child labor violations.
Jonathan Anthony Caravello — a math and philosophy professor at California State University Channel Islands — was arrested by federal agents conducting a raid at Glass House Farms in Ventura County on Thursday, ABC 7 reported.
US Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X that Caravello was arrested for “throwing a tear gas canister at law enforcement.”
Essayli said Caravello was charged with “a violation of 18 USC 111,” for allegedly “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees,” according to federal law.
The US attorney also denied claims that the educator was “kidnapped” by federal agents.
On Friday, the California Faculty Association shared that Caravello was “kidnapped” by federal agents after protesters and law enforcement clashed during Thursday’s raid.
The post claimed that “4 masked agents dragged Jonathan away into an unmarked reason without identifying themselves, without giving the reason for arrest, and without disclosing where they are taking him.”
However, a criminal complaint obtained by the Ojai Valley News revealed “dozens of protestors attempt to obstruct the execution of the high-risk search warrant” near Glass House Farms.
The affidavit claims that Caravello was seen holding a “megaphone” walking along the yellow police tape, “loudly playing a siren sound” towards agents.
Protestors then later began throwing “rocks” at government vehicles, causing “large-scale damage, including broken windows, broken side view mirrors, and frame damage to the vehicles.”
As the escalation continued, agents deployed tear gas among the protestors to disperse them. Caravello was allegedly caught on an agent’s body camera footage attempting to “kick the canister,” but missed.

… California State University Channel Islands…
Is that a thing?
A check of its computer might be necessary...(understatement)
That’s not a man, that’s a California Betapuss.
liberals didn’t learn anything from the J6 prosecutions... messing with local police and messing with FEDERAL officials is COMPLETELY different.
All of these perps will get hard time in FEDERAL prison, and will not get slaps on the wrists by local judges and local DA’s like they usually do.
Phineas Freak!
Google the term “Nutty Professor”.

Never heard of it...
A check of its brain seems more essential.
According to wiki, it used to be a state mental hospital.
YES!!
He could redeem himself by giving free philosophy and mathematics lectures in General Population.
He’s definitely got that pedo look to him.
That tells us all we need to know.
If you say so.
Does he have a vibrator in his briefs? Wierdo!
All is not as the media is portraying it...
Hopefully the unaccompanied minors at these dispensaries can be reunited with their parents back home.
Well it says he was:
tossing it
chucking it
throwing it
and
attempting to kick it
“conducting a raid at Glass House Farms”
-
“Protestors then later began throwing rocks”
-
People who protest at glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
