ICE conducted simultaneous raids at Glass House Farms locations in Carpinteria and Camarillo, leading to community protests. An alert from the 805 Immigrant Coalition warned residents about the raids. Protesters gathered to oppose the detention of farm workers, with a larger protest of around 500 people at the Camarillo farm. Federal agents used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs against demonstrators, escalating the conflict. Medical personnel set up triage for those affected by tear gas, as tensions rose between protesters and law enforcement.
The scene at the Ventura County farm drew a protest by community members, after an unknown number of farm workers were being detained by ICE agents.
At least 30 people were seen in handcuffs along a wall at the farm, and hundreds were part of the protest.
Around 500 people had gathered to protest at the Camarillo farm by mid-afternoon.
Video from the scene showed what appeared to be National Guard troops deploying flash bangs and possibly shooting rubber bullets while protesters screamed 'Fuck you!'.
