The U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the National Guard arrived at a Carpinteria farm on Thursday morning with several militarized vehicles and numerous officers.
Around 11:00 a.m., edhat began receiving numerous reports from readers about what appeared to be a large military presence at Foothill Road and Casitas Pass. The group blocking that intersection as well as the intersection of Foothill Road and SR-150, making a large section of roadway impassable.
Witnesses reported a caravan of armored vehicles and unmarked police vehicles with masked men in plain clothes, some wearing ICE or police vests, and a group of people in military camouflage, all carrying weapons. Additional reports state helicopters have been seen over the area as well.
“It looks like they’re going to war on our street,” one protestor stated.
The Glass House Raids
The unmarked vehicles and unidentified group of armed people targeted Glass House Farms at 5601 Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria. The farm, owned by Graham Farrar, is one of the largest cannabis producers in the county.
Video and photos from edhat readers and 805 Immigrant Coalition show people with hats and masks detaining workers at the cannabis farm and searching the area.
A similar raid took place at Glass House Farm’s second grow-house in Camarillo, located at the intersection of Laguna and Las Posas, appearing to be a targeted enforcement of a single business.
A Glass House Farm’s worker stated the group did not have legal warrants issued to conduct such an operation on private property, although this has yet to be confirmed. But they did state that ten workers were detained and transported to an unknown location.
Several witnesses stated they saw some DEA identification for the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Cannabis is legalized in the State of California but on the federal level, cannabis remains illegal. The federal government classifies cannabis, along with heroin and cocaine, as a Schedule I drug.
“It’s very hard to make a distinction between agencies here. Are they ICE, Police, DEA, Military, contractors… who are these guys?” a protestor stated.

Protests Erupt in Response to Raids, Smoke and Flash Bangs Used
Nearby farmworkers, residents, and motorists stopped at the blocked intersections to protest the ICE raid.
In Carpinteria, the protests started small but grew by the minute reaching over a hundred people at the intersection of Foothill Road and Casitas Pass. Videos and eye witness accounts shared with edhat portrayed a peaceful gathering of locals vocalizing their frustration and anger. “Keep ICE out of Carp!” was chanted numerous times.
A video shared with edhat shows a group of protestors standing in front of a line of armed agents and National Guard members. The protestors raised their hands and chanted “peaceful protest” when a series of shots were heard. The crowd dispersed amidst screams and crying as smoke filled the area. There did not appear to be any physical threat to agents or the National Guard.
Witnessed reported that without warning an ICE agent through a flashbang, also known as a stun grenade, and smoke canisters into the crowd. A baby and a mother were reportedly in the exact area these were thrown, according to witnesses.

There was no reported presence from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, although CHP did arrive to help clear the roadway for passing vehicles. Local officials were amongst the crowd including Carpinteria City Councilmember Mónica J. Solórzano, County Supervisor Roy Lee, and Representative Salud Carbajal.
Carbajal approached the agents as the crowd chanted “let him through” as he tried to calm the crowd. Carbajal stated he is a Congressman and wanted to be let through to speak with officials. It’s unclear exactly what happened but agents could be seen putting their hands on Rep. Carbajal as they denied him entry. He released the following statement after the incident.
“Today, I was at Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria where ICE was conducting a raid using disproportionate displays of force against local farm workers and our agricultural community,” said Congressman Salud Carbajal. “As a member of Congress and representative of the Central Coast, I have the right to conduct oversight and see first-hand what ICE was doing here. As soon as I walked up, I was denied entry and was not allowed to pass. This was completely unacceptable. There’s been a troubling lack of transparency from ICE since the Trump Administration started, and I won’t stop asking questions on behalf of my constituents. I will be demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security to find out who they detained and where the detainees are being taken. And let me be clear: these militarized ICE raids are not how you keep our communities safe. This kind of chaos only traumatizes families and tears communities apart. They are also a gross misuse of limited resources and a betrayal of the values that define us as Americans.”
Rep. Carbajal stated a small child was hurt during the stun grenades and smoke bombs while he held up a piece of shrapnel from the incendiary devices.
I went to Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria today after learning ICE was conducting a militarized raid targeting farm workers. As a Member of Congress, I have the right to conduct oversight, but I was denied entry. Here’s what happened. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/bnrpv6Axot

As the incident wrapped up, numerous witnesses stated the agents, again without warning, set off another round of flashbangs and smoke canisters into the crowd out of the window of their vehicles as they drove off.
In Camarillo, a more intense situation unfolded as protestors were reportedly met with rubber bullets, flash bangs, and smoke canisters. According to witnesses, several people were detained at this location as well. Some were placed on a U.S. Marshals bus that left in a convoy of vehicles.
The Ventura County Fire Department reports three people were transported for injuries, but details were not immediately available. The protest is still ongoing at the time of this article’s publication with tensions reportedly escalating.
Emergency Carpinteria City Council Meeting at 6:00 p.m. Thursday
The City of Carpinteria has scheduled an emergency meeting at 6:00 p.m. Thursday to consider a Statement of Proclamation from the City Council regarding the recent ICE activity.
The meeting will also consider appropriation of funds for response efforts to support the local immigrant community and consider additional city responses to ICE activity.
Details about the meeting can be found here.

A big thank you to our local and national elected representatives for standing up for their constituents, American values, the Constitution, and the rule of law. These thuggish kidnappings are in no way due process.
Illegal migrants and child laborers are not our elected representatives’ constituents, as much as they wish they were.
Well guess what, the majority of people in this area who are legal citizens voted for the people standing up to the Trump criminal gang.
We are their constituents. You aren’t. You don’ like it? Leave.
You’re a bad person.
so you believe everything you read online eh? sad to be you. there was no child labor. and who cares if illegal immigrants are working!? they are doing what is needed and doing what YOU won’t do. They literally support our state and economy. Yet you want to be an arm chair warrior and make stupid comments. Got it.
So, the National Guard don’t wear masks, just the plainclothes guys? Why? Are the ICE “agents” even legit or just volunteer Proud Boys?
And why TF do they need the National Guard to raid a pot farm in Carp?
F8CK ICE.
Sac- They need them because of the response to what they’re doing? Is that a real question? The National Guard is not allowed to use masks. They probably should, though. The others are government agents. Why does this need explaining?
This place has not changed a bit.
As usual, you’re clueless.
Nonsense. The need for there to be accountability from law enforcement in a free society outweighs any potential for harm to LEO. As well, the claims from the Trump admin are totally laughable. Show me a credible news report of an ICE agent or their family member being assaulted outside of their normal law enforcement duties.
Cops get threatened, judges get threatened, you want judges to start wearing masks and ruling anonymously from the bench. The fact is that you get off seeing these guys attack people with all their military appearance–because you WANT to live in a dictatorship so long as the victim isn’t you. Utter garbage.
You haven’t changed a bit … still dishonest sociopathic trash.
and you seem to completely miss the point as usual. however, knowing you, as an instigator, i’m not very surprised at your comment. If they need masks to hide themselves, then what they are doing should be questioned. you don’t get that? i mean..really??? you also don’t seem to get that non identified masked gunmen is nothing more than a terrorist by definition. your turn….
They fired into the crowd of peaceful protestors??? WTF
I saw many people on the side of the officers flipping them off and screaming at them. I don’t think that’s saying hello and have a nice day and we come in peace wake the fu you ds
The comment you responded to was about firing into a crowd. You defend that action because people were “flipping them off and screaming at them”? Your sense of proportion is a bit skewed, to say the least.
Telling someone to F off is not against the law. Yet, at least. It was a peaceful protest, no pushing, no throwing items, just free speech.
I muttered bastard about a neighbor and the cops showed up. I said I was talking about my vacuum! Go figure
Madlibs posts on Edhat?
A known imbecile … best to ignore.
So what. You can tell cops to F off all day long. Oh no, someone screamed. Oh Lordy.
That’s turning into the usual predictable Dem play – give the finger to the cops. Bonus if you yell at them and throw rocks at their vehicles. Defund!! Hate the cops is the new Dem playbook. It’s anarchy and angst. Good luck. America can’t run that way. Wake up woke guys.
LOL, who TF are you even talking to? F*** ICE and f*** bootlickers.
Count on BI Guy to inject some utter nonsense into the thread.
So,, the death penalty for free speech?
Fired with what? I didn’t see that part
A more apt term would be detonated, but you sound like you would prefer something like “caressed them with.”
videos from the scene show masked men in fatigues firing upon a crowd with arms up chanting “peaceful protest.” This is Amerikkka
Wait, where are you seeing this? I heard from someone that they smoke bombed a farm in Camarillo. Is that what you mean?
Edhat added it to their article. I watched a live video on social media when it happened. They threw a flash bang I think into the crowd and it was right near a kid.
Jeezus. It’s time to go. Time to do something. Violence begets violence. They’ve started it. Where’s those ANTIFA guys now?
They don’t exist. ANTIFA is a right wing boogeyman.
There needs to be one now. Being anti-fascist is the moral path.
ALEX – While ANTIFA doesn’t “exist,” those who are willing to engage in more than peaceful protest against oppression do. That’s who I’m talking about 😉
While there’s no formal organization called antifa, it certainly exists as a movement and “those … guys” do exist: https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/who-are-antifa
Here’s the video with the crowd chanting “Peaceful Protest” and getting hit with gas canisters. It’s quite shocking. Is this still America?
https://keyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/signal-2025-07-10-13-07-04-060.mp4
People who voted for Trump and continue to support this nonsense are the true enemy. They walk among us.
What does that have to do with immigration? Are those being arrested in this raid murderers? Drug dealers? Criminals? NO, they are not, and they’re just hardworking individuals trying to take care of their families.
That’s correct. Over a third of SB County voted for the President. Unfortunately, your adversarial rhetoric isn’t helping bring people to your side.
Here’s the thing–when people are evil call it evil. A third of SB County helped to put an evil criminal in office. They should be out in the streets apologizing for it, people that voted against evil are not going to try and make these bootlicking collaborators feel better about themselves.
Funny how you fascists never complain about adversarial rhetoric from Trump or your other fascist heroes, like Tom Homan:
https://harrylitman.substack.com/p/the-most-dangerous-man-in-government
hey folks, i just called the SB County Sheriff Dept near there. I spoke with dispatch. This is NOT ICE. This is Homeland Security. There is a warrant. The sheriff department was tipped off and they are aware. But it is not ICE. They are detaining people, but this is not an immigration raid. That is all i know….
DHS is a terror organization under the Trump reich.
FYI:
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is one of the key agencies within DHS that focuses on enforcing federal laws related to immigration, customs, and trade. Specifically, ICE is the principal investigative arm of DHS and the second largest federal investigative agency.
Folks, i was wrong with my statement. I reviewed again, called back the Sheriff department. Spoke to several people. They now know that they were flat out lied to by Homeland Security. They are as pissed as we are. The gentleman I spoke with at the department agreed this was not ok in our community and the show of force is ridiculous.
Now the feds are lying to local law enforcement. “Sickening” was the term the deputy used.
This is so f***ed. If the federal government is lying to local police so that they can kidnap tax paying workers, then how do we fight back?
Should Carp PD and SBSO head out there to intervene now?
America is diseased. We need to be fixed or we will continue dying from this cancer caused by MAGAts.
Time to starting outing them wherever they’re found. Let them not rest a minute as they cheer for this Godless and unAmerican abuse of our fellow humans.
i urge everyone who cares, to call the carp PD, carp city hall, SB county sheriff department in carp. these guys are on our side. call them. ask questions. make statements. this is our community under siege. and yeah, the feds will lie to local law enforcement. they lie as much as their commander does. this is not america anymore. this is a nightmare.
Good idea, KNEIN. Thanks for finding this out!
While it does help to call local officials and local law enforcement, the PD and Sheriff’s are not on our side. If anything they’ll back up the feds, even if it’s reluctant. But they will not intervene or step in to protect citizens. The best they’ll do is nothing.
“The best they’ll do is nothing.” ^ This. Don’t lose sight of this fact.
Hard to trust anything the Sheriff’s Office says anyway. Bill Brown is MAGA and the ultimate boot licker. Vote him out.
Let me guess, there’s a warrant for something that isn’t actually happening which is being used as a pretext to trespass on to private property and detain everyone there without cause. If there’s a warrant then it was signed by a judge and it should be publicly available.
These fascist puppets are going to end up getting innocent people, and maybe some guys on their own teams, killed.
An employee said there was no warrant and they barged in.
If it wasn’t an immigration raid, then why were only immigrants arrested, and not the owner?
CARTEL and I heard Emer thud was there with body bags hundreds of them . But that’s all I know
Please don’t comment while inebriated.
The GOP considers this “small government”. Military in your back yard taking away your constitutional rights is not small government. Trump mind virus.
Don’t forget – WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
There’s a comment on Instagram about DEA. Pot is still Schedule 1 federally… Sure wouldn’t put it past this administration to weaponize weed.
Article says several people identified DEA agents. Wouldn’t be surprised if racist Stephen Miller is using pot as another reason to target immigrants and harass Californians.
This is what they do in North Korea, China and Russia, Trump is destroying our democracy. Impeach the felon and make sure the spineless enablers never get to run for office again. This is deeply un American. Masked men, no identification, unmarked cars, use of force and no due process. Impeach the felon . Melanie his own wife worked here illegally on a visitor visa. Maybe ICE wants to kidnap her and put smoke bombs in any one that stands in their way. Disgusting, pathetic and has to STOP.
I’m surprised our anything works after the last admiinistration
You mean the last Trump administration. Luckily, Biden resuscitated the economy and important services after that iteration of the kakistocracy.
Salud got bumped outta there like a fly on poop- blowhard
Is Glass House (Graham Farrar) using illegal immigrants to make his weed for his profit? I think maybe so.
You hit the nail on the head first submission that makes any sense at all. I think that’s why Graham in the interviiew didn’t know what to say.. he was everybody’s buddy – Williams salud. He must not be paying him enough anymore.
If you’re a hammerhead, everything looks like a nail.
You benefit every single day from the labor of undocumented immigrants and you wouldn’t change it.
yes they are. This raid was necessary. It was messy, in part to the ensuing attempts to interfere with their mission, but this place needs to be shut down.
Fascist says what?
https://harrylitman.substack.com/p/the-most-dangerous-man-in-government
This is a noteworthy loophole:
“Cannabis is legalized in the State of California but on the federal level, cannabis remains illegal. The federal government classifies cannabis, along with heroin and cocaine, as a Schedule I drug”
Kristi Noem is the Secretary of Homeland Security. When questioned about children drowning in the recent TX floods, she said that’s an issue for the state, not the federal government. She delayed FEMA search and rescue in TX for three days. Trump wants to end FEMA because he claims it’s up to the states to solve their own problems.
So, the states are to take care of their own issues. So why have the federal armed goons invaded Los Angeles? They aren’t there at the behest of the mayor or governor–neither want them there. The citizens certainly don’t want them there.
And now the armed goons are here. Without warrants. Disrespecting peaceful protesters. Hauling away working folks to who-knows-where. All the while, cannabis is legal here. If the government is indeed leaving issues to the state, then there should be no problem.
ALL OF THIS IS NOT OK. MAKE DUE PROCESS GREAT AGAIN.
1. That’s not shrapnel
2. Don’t have your kids near any type of protest
3. The DEA was involved so it’s probably more about the cannabis than the workers
4. Stop being a whiny bunch of justice warriors
1. None of this crap is protecting anyone.
2. None of this is about criminals.
3. Stop being a bootlicking collaborator.
4. Don’t cry when this all comes around and impacts YOU.
STONER – the DEA was used as means to gain “lawful” entry. There was absolutely no DEA involvement, investigations or charges involved in this. The local law enforcement was lied to by ICE and DHS.
These are facts. I know people who work at these farms. Easily verified if you actually cared.
Stop supporting racism.
Over 50,000 Mexicans die every year, largely due to guns exported from the U.S. Over 50,000 Americans die every year, largely due to fentanyl imported from Mexico.
We are in the midst of a War that historians will call it, something like, The Fentanyl Wars.
All these ICE raids are just a prelude to what comes next. The American Military taking on thr cartels.
Mexico’s government is an incompetent Kleptocracy. It allows some of the most wicked organizations in human history to operate with impunity within its borders.
We are already at War! Please, get off your moral soapbox and wake the eff up.
You’re not paying attention to where the fentanyl comes from, nor who brings it in.
Please, enlighten us!
You must be sightless ?if you aren’t read the media anyone of the slushy underhanded outlets
Most fentanyl is smuggled through US ports of entry by American citizens.
It never ceases to amaze me just how fast the boot lickers give away their constitutional rights and moral duties to a corrupt authoritative regime. That is exactly what happened in the late 30’s in Germany.
Wow, wouldn’t it be great if these actions from ICE were actually about stopping real crime. The ICE raids have nothing to do with crime. Wake the eff up.
“Mexico’s government is an incompetent Kleptocracy.”
You misspelled “The U.S.”
Did not look peaceful in Camarillo. Making national news.
This article is mostly about Carpinteria where it WAS peaceful and ICE threw flash bangs and smoke for no reason. Read the article, it says at the time of publication the protest was still ongoing in Camarillo and tensions escalating.
First, go comment on an article about that other place. Second, so what.
Yes, it was not peaceful, mainly because of the fascist, violent tactics of the federal brownshirts.
Your parents aren’t proud you ice dixkweeds. Time for us to systematically take you across the S border?
For the MAGA cons that have nothing better to say except “it wasn’t peaceful” here are some facts for you even though I know you’re allergic to them. The protest in Carpinteria was 100% peaceful. ICE fired flash bangs and smoke bombs with no warning and for no reason other than to be dbags. This article focuses on CARPINTERIA and it mentions tensions were escalating and protests ongoing in Camarillo at the time they posted it. It’s almost like MAGA hates to read as much as they hate reality.
Call it what it is: Trump Gestapo
When protesting:
Do not wear identifiable clothing: shirts with printing, bright colors, or anything
that makes you stand out
This is so awful. There are kids – KIDS – left without parents. 15 yo’s taking care of younger siblings. WTF.
Most Americans don’t know who he is or what he does, but in the opinion of many knowledgeable political people, Steven Miller is the most dangerous man in the White House!
Svengali Miller to the orange moron.
Ahhh, cute costumes they all have on.
10 juvenile undocumented immigrants were detained, 8 of whom were unaccompanied.
No democrat has the right to accuse republicans of a lack of transparency, ever.
Violence against law enforcement is unacceptable. If you don’t like the laws, change them. This is so reminiscent of the way people treated soldiers returning from Vietnam. They took out the anger and frustration with the Vietnam policy on service people who were doing their job.
I implore my liberal friends, please try to understand that there are factors other than just “Orange Man Bad” at play.
The ONLY source for this is from DHS, which is run by fascist liars. They will say anything to justify this extreme action on a local business. I’ll wait until witnesses and legitimate news sources can verify these claims.
You don’t do much critical thinking, do you?
If so, it’e not obvious from your comments.
Not surprising to find only one comment regarding the rescue of trafficked child laborers during the raid. Sad, hope they can be reunited with their families wherever they are.
Surfgoose – you’re not reading all the comments, scroll down. There is literally zero verified information other than DHS making these poor kids pose in a photo with ICE agents like they’re the mafia. DHS has yet to provide evidence these kids were working there. If they were, prosecute Glass House to the extreme. But prove it… ya know, due process and all. AND find these kids parents!
Probably because it didn’t really happen.
Dude, ICE is literally separating children from their parents all day every day right now. Beyond that, you have zero proof that any child was being employed or trafficked in any way at these farms. So maybe STFU.
Bull.
Yes, you provide plenty of bull.
These ICE actions are all pretty well documented, but you’re pretty good at ignoring evidence, as you did for COVID vaccination.
Bull what. As usual, nothing from you but yapping. Bootlickers also apparently love to see children suffer. Be Best.
BASIC – what did ALEX say that was false?
Adults under 21 working at a cannabis farm is not trafficking.
You people are sick.
Lol, nah. The guys that went to Vietnam were DRAFTED. These f***ing scumbags are destroying families and lives for a paycheck. It’s their CHOICE.
Dishonest ignorant trash.
ANON – not “juveniles,” necessarily. 18-21 year olds are not juveniles, neither are they often accompanied as they are adults.
There has been no further proof whatsoever that they were working there. Only DHS and Fox are pushing this story. Neither are known for telling the truth.
The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.
Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.
According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks to reporters after a presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump in Atlanta on Thursday, June 27, 2024. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott tweeted that the farm is “now under investigation for child labor violations” and the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News on Friday that nine unaccompanied children in the U.S. illegally were rescued.
“So glad our law enforcement could rescue another child,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.
Glass House Brands said in a statement that they complied with the federal warrants issued.
“Yesterday, Glass House Brands received immigration and naturalization warrants. As per the law, we verified that the warrants were valid and we complied. Workers were detained and we are assisting to provide them legal representation,” the company tweeted
Graham is a known d-bag, regardless of politics. He donates to candidates that want to decriminalize marijuana but he has also made pro MAGA and pro Trump comments in the past. So wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a trump voter. It goes along with his character as a human. With that said, his farms did not deserve to get raided like a freaking military operation.
DHS claiming they found a bunch of kids but aren’t providing any proof smells like a lie. This got wayyyy more media attention than they wanted it to (they had to helicopter in supplies for agents because it was taking 10x longer than anticipated). So now they’re coming up with a reason to make this fascist enforcement seem justified. And what to MAGAts fall for every time, save the children! So they’re claiming it was a child labor thing, which I call bulls***. Provide proof or shut up. DHS doesn’t give a F*** about kids. They rip them from their parents arms, leave them alone and deport their mothers, throw them in cages. Wake the f*** up KaLameo
You stated no facts, just Innuendo.
You provided no proof, so follow your own words.
Your reading comprehension is poor.
DHS says “we found 10 kids!”
Glass house farms says “that’s not true, we don’t hire kids.”
Journalists & Everyone says “Hey DHS, show us proof”
DHS says “….”
These are facts.
DHS has now made 10 kids pose in a photo with agents. Waiting to get the real story on this.. were they working there as they claim? Were they waiting for their parents to get off work? Were they protestors? Would love to know the facts on this as we can’t trust anything from ICE or DHS since they’ve been caught in numerous lies during court proceedings.
This KP, JK sock puppet will believe anything from a con social media source.
Salud & Newsome did receive donations from Glass House (Graham), look it up – public info.
Facts are not hearsay, of course they will state there we no kids.
Until all of the facts are known, again this is all innuendo, nothing more.
Look up Kyle Kazan. He’s the CEO of Glasshouse farms who has donated to GOP and advocated for Newsom’s recall and is a well known MAGAt. Facts are not hearsay… as you say.
So what? People donate money to politicians. Is that supposed to be some super duper detective work on your part that means something?
Who is this Newsome the low-information commenters mention?
KAPO – so effing what? Who cares who the owner donated to? It has absolutely NOTHING to do with unlawful, racist shift that took place there the other day. NOTHING.
Answer this question: Do you support taking brown-skinned workers, separating them from the other workers and marking them with an X and calling them “wets?”
No individual warrants, just racial profiling.
Are you OK with that? You can either admit you’re a Nazi or you can stand up for decency. Only 2 choices here.
KAPO – “It is a matter of law. Only the left is making this a racial issue.”
Then please explain why the hundreds of thousands of white undocumented workers living in large cities are not being targeted at all.
Descending into a police state like the frog in a pot
Salud is one of the people responsible for this .. See him at this peaceful protest pretend he doesn’t know why they’re doing this and charge the line and get bounced back , he is one of them you fools . Some of the government elected or not, created all this mess and are putting a big spin on it trying to make you believe they didn’t know anything and that they’re trying to help us – ya rite. Pretty soon everybody will figure this out
Now say that in English please.
GIZMO – you’re uneducated. Simple. Everyone saw what happened. What color do you think the sky is? Honest question.
He didn’t “charge the line”. Why do you stupid ignorant racist sociopathic right wingers always have to lie?
How does no one seem to acknowledge that this place appears to be a hotbed of corruption and inhumane labor practices? While everyone focuses on the protesting and the resulting conflicts, why is it so hard to admit that this business needed to be raided and investigated? People on the streets try to prevent law enforcement from doing their job and then wonder why such a display of force has to be present to protect their mission? Salud making all the headlines by feebly attempting to prevent this raid is typical. This business owner is in bed with the democratic leadership on a local and state level but people applaud (or ignore) this and wish they could continue hiring children to work in a weed farm? It’s clear that people, at least from reading comments and cardboard signs, don’t even know what’s going on and assume this is just a bunch of amped up meat head militia men out bounty hunting anyone with brown skin for sport. Every other civilized country has borders and enforces immigration law. We need immigration reform, and the ensuing correction for past administration’s (D and R) will be messy, but it’s necessary and our country will be better off when legal immigration is managed well.
You’re the one having a hard time admitting facts.
“We need immigration reform”
Republicans voted it down every single time. They voted down their own bipartisan compromise bill on Trump’s orders to keep it a hot button election issue to woo the votes of the stupid ignorant and gullible.
Some dogs never get properly socialized, rover.
ROVER – “assume this is just a bunch of amped up meat head militia men out bounty hunting anyone with brown skin for sport.”
Because that’s exactly what’s happening.
“Every other civilized country has borders and enforces immigration law. ”
Not like this, they don’t. Name any other country that is doing what ICE is doing right now.
Not any with even a semblance of democracy, anyway.
Do you ave proof of the claim of inhumane labor practices? Do you have proof that kids were working there (and no people between the ages of 18-21 are not “minors”.)
Any proof at all that children were working there?
Come on–let’s see it. And no, a statement from the most dishonest government in the history of the USA won’t cut it.
Until you have proof, maybe STFU
Alex – Aha! Now? Now? Unlike during the years of the Biden failure, we must have proof before anyone makes “a claim” about anything?
Since false claims are your specialty, obviously not needed!
How many more months do we have to wait before we’re all loving Trump because he’s made us so rich, do-u-lie dufus?
The plain fact is that you’ve never said a single intelligent or honest thing, which is why people dismiss you as a stupid clown.
HE won’t make you or anyone else rich. YOU are the only one that can do that for YOURSELF. That’s why he won and the Dems lost…in a nutshell. Work Marcel. Work is the word. Bringing back the value of Americans working and losing the handout mentality in our country is what’s happening.
We should have Glass House and other pot farms monitored with cameras so we can PROVE they’re using child labor and illegal aliens for their massively successful weed industry. I agree.
But, for now, you’re happy to just perform speculative ranting.
