An Immigration Raid at two Ventura County Cannabis Farms Leads to 200 Arrests; Shot Fired
An Immigration Raid at two Ventura County Cannabis Farms Leads to 200 Arrests; Shot Fired originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Immigration raids at two Ventura County cannabis farms on Thursday led to 200 arrests, federal law enforcement officials say, and ten juveniles being taken into custody in sweeps that rapidly deteriorated into a chaotic scene that led an undocumented farmer to fall from a building and suffer a fatal head injury. The United Farm Workers said Friday afternoon that a worker had died - plummeting from a building while running from agents who raided Glass House Farms. Jaime Alanis, suffered a head injury in the fall that led to his death, family members said in a GoFundMe post. "My uncle Jaime was just a hard-working, innocent farmer. He has his wife and daughter waiting for him. He was chased by ICE agents, and we were told he fell 30ft," the worker's niece Yesenia Duran wrote on the page, which is seeking funds to send his body back to Mexico. "He was his family's provider. They took one of our family members We need justice. We are still investigating what happened." The FBI also announced a $50,000 reward after, according to a federal press release, "brave agents faced gun fire as they executed on criminal search warrants at a marijuana facility where they rescued at least 10 migrant children, arrested approximately 200 illegal aliens." The FBI released a photo of the purported gunman Thursday night. The raids led to violent clashes between agents and protestors who descended on the scene. Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the actions of federal agents, saying that children were among those fleeing tear gas and projectiles. The Camarillo raid targeted the Glass House Farms greenhouse complex on Laguna Road, which is one of the largest licensed cannabis farms in California. The company was founded by environmentalist Graham Farrar, who owns a second farm in Carpinteria that was also the scene of heavily militarized immigration actions Thursday. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

The item was later declared safe, with officers reassuring people that there was no risk to the wider public. In total nine people were arrested as part of yesterday morning's operation in Greater Manchester and Southport.

Officers say they recovered imitation firearms, weapons including swords and a crossbow, and Nazi memorabilia and materials in the raids. Police have been in contact with officers from the Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW) who have offered advice on some of the materials which have been seized. Officers say that residents may see an increased presence of police officers in the community. They are there to assist with enquiries and offer reassurance to residents. Assistant chief constable Steph Parker of Greater Manchester Police said: 'Due to the nature of the materials we [allegedly] recovered at the warrants today, we have liaised with colleagues at CTPNW. This is a matter of course, and it very much remains a GMP led investigation. 'It's important that all avenues are explored to establish the extent of the criminal offences which have been committed, and whilst our investigation is still in its early stages, we do not believe there to be a risk to the wider public. 'This group clearly has a deep fascination with ideas that we know are unsettling for communities across Greater Manchester. We must take action when concerns are raised, and where weapons are suspected, to ensure people are free to live without fear of intimidation or harm. 'Public safety is at the forefront of our investigation, and as always, we ask that you remain vigilant, and if you have any information or concerns, then to contact us.' Residents on Addington Street said police were at the scene until into the evening. They described a huge presence on the street.
