ICE agents reportedly fired on in California, Newsom slammed for pushing false narrative

July 11, 2025 | | Print Article

With Democrat officials demonizing ICE agents and lying to the American people about the circumstances behind the raid of a California “agricultural business,” the agents involved in the action appear to have been fired on by protestors.

Federal agents descended upon fields near Camarillo, located just east of Los Angeles, and Carpinteria, which is near Santa Barbara, detaining dozens of “farmworkers,” according to various reports. As the incidents were taking place, protesters gathered at Camarilla and began clashing with law enforcement.

Tear gas was deployed to keep the crowd at bay, and at one point, a protester can be seen seemingly firing on the agents, according to footage taken by ABC 7:

Democrats and much of the media are misrepresenting the facts behind the raids, which took place at marijuana farms. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that agents were acting on a criminal judicial warrant when they were met with violence, and that at least 8 unaccompanied migrant children were recovered, prompting a child labor investigation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to the concerns of children being exploited for cheap labor by politicizing the raids, sharing a video of kids crying “because their mother was just taken from the fields.”

Newsom also attacked the popular Libs of TikTok social media account as a “sh-t poster” for sharing the video footage of the protester with a gun:

Melugin highlighted the “dishonest” narrative being pushed by Democrats, fact-checking a post from U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) suggesting that the farm workers were picking strawberries — Gomez further claimed that President Donald Trump was targeting “immigrant farm workers who feed America.”

Glass House, which bills itself as “one of the fastest-growing, vertically integrated cannabis companies in the U.S.,” released a statement acknowledging the raids.

The violence brought upon the agents was next level, as federal vehicles were attacked while departing the scene:

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X, including a post from U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, who confirmed at least “10 juveniles were found at this marijuana facility – all illegal aliens, 8 of them unaccompanied.”
