Chaos breaks out during immigration raid on world's largest cannabis farm (VIDEOS)
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrived at Glass House Farms south of Camarillo in Ventura County in a convoy of military vehicles.

At least 10 people were detained in the raid, according to a local ABC affiliate.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told ABC that the agents were executing a warrant at the farm. 'Our brave officers will continue to enforce the law,' the spokesperson said.
Glass House Farms, which owns a massive cultivation center, bills itself as the largest legal cannabis grower in the world. In a statement on X, the company said it has 'fully complied with agent search warrants.'

US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said that ten children were found at the farm, all of them illegal migrants and eight of them unaccompanied. 'It's now under investigation for child labor violations,' he wrote on X.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's office condemned the 'inhumane' raid and singled out US President Donald Trump's top adviser Stephen Miller. 'Instead of supporting the businesses and workers that drive our economy and way of life, Stephen Miller's tactics evoke chaos, fear and terror within our communities at every turn,' the statement continued.
Trump has made a crackdown on illegal immigration one of his signature policies, accusing his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, and the Democrats of profiting from an influx of migrants across the border with Mexico.
Newsom and other top Democrats, in turn, have labeled Trump's methods, including a promise to carry out the largest deportation in American history, dangerous and unlawful.

Dozens gather on UK coast to protest migration (VIDEOS)
Dozens of demonstrators have held a rally in the British port town of Dover, demanding tighter controls on migration and criticizing the government's asylum system. The event – the 'Great British National Protest' – was held on Saturday, and drew large crowds on the Kent coastline. Many carried Union Jack and England flags as they gathered on the beach and embankment before marching through the town center. Demonstrators held placards reading 'Asylum frauds out' and 'Not racist, not far-right, not being listened to!' while chanting 'Stop the boats' as they moved along the seafront. One person carried a sign reading: 'There is no far right, there is no far left, there are only those who fight against the system.' 🚨NEW: A demonstration was held today on a beach in Dover calling for an end to small boat crossings One video shows a woman performing a rap that criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who many accuse of enabling unchecked migration with his policies. Lady in a Union Flag dress with anti @Keir_Starmer song as patriots hit Dover beach in big numbers in a 'Stop The Boats' protest 🇬🇧 Give her a follow @missuskent 🙌🏻 Video clips and livestreams posted on social media show the protest unfolding peacefully. No counter-demonstrations were reported in the area. A Kent Police spokesman said law enforcement took measures 'to ensure the protest remains peaceful, lawful and that disruption to the local area is kept to a minimum. Officers will be monitoring the situation and sufficient resources will be in place to deliver a proportionate police response.' Dover has long served as a focal point for irregular migration to the UK, with many crossing the English Channel in small, flimsy boats. According to the Migration Observatory, around 37,000 people were detected crossing the English Channel in small boats in 2024, 25% more than the year before, with the number of arrivals increasing further in the first half of 2025. Over the past six years, citizens of Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Albania, Syria, and Eritrea have made up 70% of people crossing in small boats to the UK. Anti-migrant sentiments in the UK have been on the rise, with many linking migration with surging crime rates. According to government data, there were around 50,500 offences involving a sharp instrument in the year ending March 2024 across England and Wales, excluding Greater Manchester.

Like everything else, protests in the US are a business
It should come as no surprise, but the next time you see a protest popping up in cities across America, there is a chance it was not as spontaneous and homegrown as once expected. In fact, many of the young, rebellious faces in the crowd are paid actors content to earn a paycheck on behalf of very wealthy individuals who are committed to artificially manipulating the US political system. Enter Adam Swart, the CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand (CoD), whose website details a long list of services it provides to give any political movement the booster rockets it needs to get off the ground. 'If you need to hire protesters, we can get a crowd on the street, sometimes within 24 hours time. If you need speakers to present at a council meeting, we can provide talented and well-spoken individuals to advocate for the cause. We also have a dedicated team of phone-banking staff who can call Congressional Offices and convince government officials to support your cause and help you overcome opposition. If you need lots of letters and emails written from constituents, we have a network of tens of thousands of individuals across the country who can send well-written constituent letters to their representatives…' 'We are the ultimate guerilla lobbying and government relations firm,' the website boldly declares. Swart was forthcoming with the information that his publicity firm was offered a lucrative contract to assist in a Democrat-backed astroturfing effort. 'Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17th movement have approached us and, in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million dollars,' Swart admitted to NewsNation's Brian Entin in an interview. On July 17th, protests took place around the country against the Trump administration, organized by Good Trouble Lives On, a left-wing progressive organization. July 17th was the fifth anniversary of the death of former Democratic Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights leader who referred to protests as 'good trouble.' So why did Swart reject the multi-million dollar offer to host the July 17th event? After all, some Trump supporters suspect that CoD played a prominent role in the highly successful 'No Kings Day' protests, which were said to have attracted more than five million people in more than 2,100 cities and towns, possibly the largest single-day demonstration in American history. Right-wingers have insisted that the numbers turning out to oppose Trump are routinely bolstered by hired operatives supplied by Swart's company. While CoD denies any involvement in No Kings, for example, just the idea that a publicity firm could legally exist as a driving force to any protest movement is extremely unsettling (determining exactly what groups CoD supports is very difficult as employees are forced to sign non-disclosure forms that protect the client's anonymity). With regards to the 'Good Trouble Lives On' protest, Swart admits turning down the offer because the demonstrations would 'make us all look bad' as 1,500 events planned across country had the potential to 'turn violent.' The CEO said he does not activate any activists-for-hire if 'it involves illegal activity… we do not engage in any form of illegal activity – of course, no violence, no vandalism, and no blocking streets without a permit.' While Swart must be applauded for turning down a fortune for keeping the US political process transparent and safe, there are other big-league players who do not operate by such a moral compass. Consider George Soros and his Open Society Foundation for one. Last summer, at the height of anti-Israel protests on university campuses, US lawyer Alan Dershowitz told Fox News that organizations funded by the billionaire philanthropist and others helped finance the movements. 'There's no question that there are organizations funded by George Soros and the Rockefeller Brothers. Take for example 'Jewish Voice for Peace,'' Dershowitz said. 'It has been behind many of these demonstrations. They're not Jewish and they don't want peace. It's a fake organization. It's an old-line group of communists and anarchists that want to overthrow the United States government… These organizations are funded by Soros and other organizations that help turn these useful idiots into protesters and eventually into terrorists.' Getting back to the Democrats, the very act of astroturfing the US political system strongly suggests that Trump's MAGA presents a clear and present danger to the liberals. The Democrats have reached the point where they are practically forced to pay people a minimum wage check to mobilize against Donald Trump. Nothing screams a party in disorder more than one that obviously lacks grassroots support and is forced to rig the political system.

Three dead after explosion at US sheriff training center
A powerful explosion rocked the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) training facility early Friday morning, killing at least three deputies, Fox News reported, citing department sources. The blast occurred at around 7:30am at the Biscailuz Training Center in East Los Angeles, prompting an immediate evacuation of the facility and a multi-agency emergency response. The Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed to Fox News that ambulances had been dispatched to the scene for injuries related to a possible explosion. The FBI's Los Angeles field office also confirmed its involvement in the ongoing investigation. An accident reportedly occurred while deputies were handling ordnance on the training facility grounds. In a post on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had spoken with US Attorney Bill Essayli, who oversees the Central District of California, about what she called a 'horrific incident.' Bondi noted that federal agents are on the scene and actively working to uncover more information. She urged the public to keep the victims' families in their prayers following the tragic loss of life. While details about the cause remain limited, officials are treating the incident with urgency amid heightened safety protocols. The blast follows recent public concern over dangerous materials in urban areas, including a separate incident involving commercial-grade fireworks that ignited a massive residential blaze elsewhere in Los Angeles.
