One California worker dead, hundreds arrested, after cannabis farm raid
VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 11 – Federal agents arrested about 200 undocumented migrants and found 10 unaccompanied minors amid investigations into child labor and forced exploitation at cannabis farms, officials said.
- On Thursday, federal authorities raided marijuana cultivation sites near Carpinteria and Camarillo, detaining approximately 200 individuals—including 10 minors—and sparking confrontations with demonstrators.
- The raids followed President Trump's recent deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to protect immigration agents amid intensified enforcement in Southern California.
- At Glass House Farms, authorities found 10 undocumented juveniles, eight unaccompanied, rescued from potential child labor exploitation, while farmworkers reported injuries and long detentions.
- Glass House Farms stated it complied with verified warrants and aids detained workers legally, asserting it does not knowingly employ minors and prioritizes child protection.
- The raids sparked emergency city funding for affected residents, ongoing protests demanding detainee release, and a $50,000 reward for information on a gunfire incident during the operations.
