"The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of a man believed to have fired a gun at officers during a chaotic immigration sweep at a Camarillo pot farm. The federal law enforcement agency doubled its reward for a man who it said was apparently a protester at the July 10 raid and "appeared to point a firearm and possibly fired a pistol at federal law enforcement officers.""
"Agents in masks and riot gear marched for hours through the company's vast greenhouses in Camarillo as workers fled and hid in panic. One worker, Jaime Alanís Garcia, died after he fell three stories while trying to evade capture. Hundreds of protesters converged at the greenhouse site and squared off with immigration agents, who fired at them using less-than-lethal force. Eight people were taken to local hospitals and others were treated at the scene, according to the Ventura County Fire Department."

The raids at Camarillo and Carpinteria targeted Glass House Farms and led to more than 300 arrests of suspected undocumented workers. Agents in masks and riot gear moved through greenhouse operations as workers fled; one worker, Jaime Alanís Garcia, died after falling three stories while evading capture. Hundreds of protesters confronted agents, who used less-than-lethal force; eight people required hospital transport. A Cal State Channel Islands professor was later charged for throwing back a tear gas canister.
