VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 13 – Federal raids at two cannabis farms arrested over 360 suspected undocumented workers and rescued 14 migrant children from forced labor and trafficking, officials said.
- On July 11, 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement stormed Glass House Farms, executing search warrants at two cannabis facilities in Ventura County, California.
- A Department of Homeland Security investigators targeted Glass House Farms, probing potential child labor, human trafficking and other abuses, after federal agents backed by National Guard troops arrested over 300 suspected undocumented workers.
- Amid the chaotic raid, United Farm Workers reported about 200 detainees including at least 10 minors, ICE agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets, and farmworker Jaime Alanís fell 30 feet to his death while fleeing the raid.
- Critics condemned the operation for causing a death and detaining U.S. citizens, while U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said professor Jonathan Caravello was arrested for assaulting officers.
- This raid marks another chapter in the long-running conflict between California and the federal government over immigration and cannabis laws, and ongoing investigations may fuel further political and legal battles.
