Trump says ICE agents have his full support to defend themselves following California clashes

CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – President Trump authorized ICE agents to use any means necessary to arrest attackers amid a 700% increase in assaults during immigration enforcement operations in California, officials said.

  • On July 10, 2025, federal immigration agents, supported by National Guard troops, conducted raids at two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria, detaining over 200 suspected undocumented immigrants.
  • These raids followed President Trump’s directive granting ICE total authorization to defend itself and arrest protesters after violent clashes involving bricks thrown at officers during enforcement in California.
  • Glass House Farms confirmed it fully cooperated with valid search warrants, is providing detained workers with legal assistance, and is currently being examined for potential child labor issues.
  • Trump stated that he is fully empowering ICE to defend itself as vigorously as it safeguards the public and called for the prompt arrest of the “SLIMEBALLS” attacking officers and their vehicles.
  • The raids sparked protests and condemnation from Governor Gavin Newsom and critics, and the administration plans to continue immigration enforcement affecting the agricultural sector nationwide.
