Appalling secret of illegal cannabis farmer who Democrats called a 'strawberry farmer' during dystopian ICE raid
More than 300 illegal aliens were detained in a dystopian ICE raid at a California cannabis farm - and one of them has been identified as a child predator. Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Rodney Scott confirmed one of the illegal farmers was previously sentenced for child sex crimes and worked at the same farm as juveniles. 'This illegal alien was apprehended at the CA marijuana facility,' he said of the unnamed man. 'Turns out he had been sentenced to 7 yrs for kidnapping & attempted rape, w/ a prior conviction for attempted child molestation. 'And this felon was working at the same farm as 10 kids - one being 14 yrs old.' Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers carried out multiple raids Thursday across Ventura County, just north of Los Angeles, on cannabis farms leading to a violent response from locals and farmworkers at Glass House Farms. The raids sparked backlash from Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrat Congressman Jimmy Gomez, who suggested workers were 'picking strawberries' in the fields. 'Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields,' Newsom posted on X alongside a clip of the smoky aftermath of the fracas. The raids sparked backlash from Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrat Congressman Jimmy Gomez, who suggested children were 'picking strawberries' in the fields 'Trump calls me "Nuwscum" - but he's the real scum,' the two-term governor added. Gomez also took to the platform to share his frustration with Trump 'targeting the immigrant farm workers who feed America.' 'How many MS-13 gang members are waking up at 3 a.m. to pick strawberries? O'yeah, zero!,' he wrote. 'Trump said he'd go after 'bad hombres," but he's targeting the immigrant farm workers who feed America. Either he lied - or he can't tell the difference.' Homeland Security then used Gomez's 'strawberry fields' claim against him, as the agency posted images of ICE agents taking a walk through the facility that was clearly lined with marijuana plants. 'Chat, what type of strawberries are these?,' the agency wrote as masked agents walked past the greenery. Marijuana is legal in the Golden State for people 21 years or older. Tear gas and guns were seen being used in dramatic video footage of the raids as armored federal agents stood on farm roads, flanked by rows of what appear to be cannabis, or marijuana plants, while masked agitators hurled slurs and debris at law enforcement. One man even opened fire on the federal agents. Just seconds after ICE agents fired smoke canisters into a crowd of demonstrators near Laguna Road, one individual could be clearly seen raising a firearm and appeared to discharge it in the agents' direction. Agents blocked off roads and stormed the facility in what witnesses described as a sudden and aggressive operation. Tear gas choked the air, smoke bombs were thrown and projectiles flew. Protesters, farmworkers, and family members scattered through the fields, many screaming, some hit, with others pouring milk over their faces to soothe burning eyes. At least three people were taken to the hospital while dozens more were detained. A worker, James Alanís died after he climbed a 30-foot greenhouse during the raid before falling from it. Alanís suffered a broken neck and skull, a family member told ABC 7. He was taken to the hospital and was on life support on Friday. He died on Saturday. Alanís was working at the cannabis farm in Ventura County to send money home to his wife and daughter in Mexico. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that 319 illegal migrants were arrested during the raid. Noem, also known as 'ICE Barbie', said 14 children were also rescued 'from potential forced labor, exploitation, and trafficking.' The children, who Scott posted an image of, are from Mexico and Honduras, Fox News reported. Authorities are currently looking into the criminal histories of detained illegal aliens and Glass House Farms is under investigation for possible child labor law violations, per the outlet. An angry Trump called out the protestors on his Truth Social platform, and went on to authorize ICE officers to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves in the future. 'I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle,' he said after visiting the ravaged Lone Star State with First Lady Melania following the disastrous floods. 'Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER. He continued: 'I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public. I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! 'AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' The raid is believed to be the second-largest single-state ICE operation in history, following the 2019 Mississippi chicken plant raids that nabbed nearly 700 illegal migrants during Trump's first term.

Opinion: Channel migrants are troops recruited by Macron
Look at those people bobbing in the Channel, crossing the sea every day in an irresistible tide. See their pitiful burstable coracles, so rammed with humanity that their limbs are left trailing in the water. Count the numbers that have been coming in, more than 40 per cent up on last year – tens of thousands of illegal aliens scrambling ashore and burying themselves in the crevices of our society. Then ask yourself the key question. Who benefits? Who is really behind this moral, political and economic disaster? Which is the evil genius orchestrating this daily humiliation of the British state? It is time to unmask the Mr Big – or Monsieur Petit – behind the whole thing, and I will give you a clue. He has Cuban heels, a boyish charm, a lisping voice, and a wife who smacks him around in public. Yes, folks, there is one ultimate beneficiary of this whole nightmare, and that is Emmanuel Macron of France. As he made clear during his press conference with Keir Starmer, the French president is blatantly using this crisis to make a political point – namely that Brexit Britain has been unable to control its borders . It follows that every single one of those young men – and they are almost all young men – has effectively been recruited by Macron to embarrass the UK. These are his shock troops in his continuing jihad against Brexit. He will keep sending them over the Channel in boat after boat until we accept his ridiculous and insulting assertion: that the British people are fools, that they swallowed a lie, and the whole problem of illegal migration is now so bad that we might as well concede that Brexit was a mistake and a delusion, and get back into the EU. That is Macron's game; that is his strategy. And that is why he will never do enough to stop the boats. No one was fooled by the 'returns agreement' this week between the UK and France, the so-called 'one in one out' deal by which illegal arrivals could be swapped for those with a legal claim to come to Britain. By definition, this would do nothing to reduce the overall immigration total, since we would be taking one more person for every illegal arrival notionally sent back to France. More seriously, the proposal will do nothing to deter the gangs. Even if Macron can get the EU commission to approve the scheme, the French say that they expect to take about 50 people per week. That is pathetic. As Chris Philp, the Tory Shadow Home Secretary points out – that would be only 6 per cent of the weekly arrivals. Even if this agreement were to get going, that means your average cross-Channel migrant would have a 94 per cent chance of staying in the UK; and everyone knows that, once you have your jaws clamped around the teat of the UK system, it is almost impossible to prise you away. This scheme is not serious. Macron agreed to do it as a sop to Starmer, and in exchange for the kudos of a state visit, and the chance for him and Brigitte to hobnob with the King and Queen. He doesn't want to make it work – because he has had plenty of opportunity to do so before, and the French efforts have been lackadaisical in the extreme. The gendarmes have been given almost £800m of our money to patrol the beaches of Calais, and yet the problem is getting worse. They haven't fixed it because, fundamentally, Macron wants to convince the British public of a blatant lie – the one he told at the press conference – that this problem has been somehow caused by Brexit. What rubbish. Quelle poubelle! Remember that before Brexit we were obliged by basic EU law to treat every one of the 520 million EU nationals as if they were British citizens, for the purposes of migration to this country . It was insane. Brexit took back full legal control. We can, if we choose, have absolutely zero legal migration to this country – zero. As for tackling illegal migration, EU membership was worse than useless. It is true that there was the 'Dublin convention' by which EU countries could in theory send illegal arrivals back to their country of origin within the EU. In practice, Dublin was a dud. It had broken down long before Brexit; the lawyers were making mincemeat of it, and hardly any illegal arrivals were being returned anywhere. The whole thing was a farce, and we were prevented by EU rules from passing tougher laws ourselves. So, in blaming Brexit for the migrant crossings, Macron is uttering a great, stinking, festering falsehood, and if he had said such a thing in Brigitte Macron's classroom, I hope that she would have given him one of her trademark smacks around his smirking chops. The reality is that Brexit actually gives us the power to control not just legal migration – but to fix illegal migration as well ; and the tragedy of this government is that Starmer refuses to use those powers. The Labour government is being sucked back into the orbit of the EU at the very moment when we need to be doing things our own way . Ask yourself: why does Macron hate Brexit so? Why does he see fit to come to this country, wag his finger, and tell the British public that they have been stupid and wrong? The answer is that he fears Brexit, and he fears the massive potential of an independent Britain. He saw what happened, for instance, when we diverged from the EU regulatory framework and achieved the fastest Covid vaccine roll-out in Europe, followed by the fastest exit from lockdown. He didn't like it at all. He doesn't want Brexit Britain to succeed; he wants it to fail, to be brought to heel, and Labour is all too eager to oblige. Starmer is accepting EU law for the UK – with no say in making it, turning this country into a colony of Brussels . Worse, he seems on the point of adopting the French wealth tax, which has driven tens of thousands of entrepreneurs from France. They are taking this country back into a morass of unnecessary employment law, and suggesting such bizarre Soviet anachronisms as state-owned restaurants. All the while the Reeves-Starmer high-tax economic doom loop continues to stifle activity, so that, as reported yesterday, the economy shrunk for the second quarter. When Starmer and Macron agreed their feeble returns deal, the French apparently set one condition. The UK would have to abandon the Rwanda plan. On the face of things, this was bizarre. Why should the French care? But on reflection the reason is obvious. Rwanda is made possible by Brexit, since we can ignore EU law on asylum and other matters to make it happen; and, unlike any other plan, Rwanda would actually work. It doesn't mean sending back six per cent of illegals; it means sending 100 per cent of them from Kent to Kigali. The idiotic Starmer has axed this country's only practical plan to deal with the boats – at French behest! – while the French cynically refuse to do enough to help. Like the old Danish king of England, Starmer sits and watches as the waves of people wash irresistibly to our shores, and in his self-imposed impotence he is making himself look like a complete and utter Canute.

Child predator among more than 300 nabbed in cannabis farm ICE raid, largest of Trump's second term
Federal authorities have confirmed that more than 300 illegal aliens were arrested Thursday during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a Ventura County, California cannabis farm. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on X that 319 unlawful immigrants were apprehended during the raid at Glass House Farms, and said that "law enforcement rescued 14 children from potential forced labor, exploitation, and trafficking." The raid is believed to be the second-largest single-state ICE worksite operation in history, behind the first Trump administration's 2019 Mississippi chicken plant raids that netted almost 700 illegal alien arrests. One man taken into custody has a history of violent crime, including attempted child exploitation. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott posted a photo of the unnamed migrant on X. "This illegal alien was apprehended at the CA marijuana facility," he said. "Turns out he had been sentenced to 7 yrs for kidnapping & attempted rape, w/ a prior conviction for attempted child molestation. And this felon was working at the same farm as 10 kids - one being 14 yrs old." Fox News has learned that the children rescued at the farm are from Mexico and Honduras, and that immigration authorities are analyzing the criminal histories of all 319 of the detained illegal aliens. Glass House Farms is under investigation for possible child labor law violations. The company's co-founder, president and board director, Graham Farrar, donated $10,000 to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, among other Democratic politicians. He has also donated to Republicans, and shown support for Republicans who expressed support for liberalizing cannabis laws. A violent clash erupted between ICE agents and protesters during the massive raid. Federal law enforcement agents were assaulted during the operation, and one combatant appeared to fire a handgun towards agents as the crowd was dispersed with tear gas. One worker died during the raid after climbing a 30-foot greenhouse and subsequently falling from it. An irate Trump took to his Truth Social platform to blast the protesters, and authorize ICE to take whatever precautions are necessary to protect themselves during future raids. "I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle," he said. "Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER. "I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public," he wrote. "I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Mayor Bass Backs Criminal Aliens over Law Enforcement Agents- AGAIN
LA Mayor Karen Bass attempted to stop an ICE operation targeting MS-13 illegal aliens… I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. LA Mayor Karen Bass demanded ICE and other federal agents stop their operations in LA and specifically at MacArthur Park, an area crawling with MS-13 influence. Why the Mayor of any city would DEMAND illegal alien gang members be given refuge from law enforcement is beyond me but then again, LA is a broken city run by people with broken brains. Bass also put out a ridiculous tweet about how horrible it was that kids were playing in the park before the big bad military came! She is so oblivious she doesn't get that she actually dunked on herself in her own post so I'll help her see it! Karen, WHY do you want criminal illegal aliens roaming a park where kids are playing? With each passing post, Bass only makes OUR POINT stronger and she should resign. Either way, ICE will not be deterred from the mission. It's hard to remember an instance- if one does exist- wherein LA Mayor Karen Bass has given this much care and attention to AMERICAN citizens!
