Now we see why Newsom was so upset about this raid.
Follow up to this story from Friday.
[Fox News] Nine unaccompanied children rescued as protesters clash with authorities at Glass House Farms facilities.

The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.

Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.

According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.

… The migrant who fell 30 feet?
He wasn’t just a worker—he was a “runner,” the middleman moving crypto-backed wages between the cartel-linked farm and a fintech app used to quietly launder payouts as “agricultural remittances.”
Oof. Good to know.
And ICE? They weren’t just doing a raid.
They were shutting down a pilot route used by a broader network that’s already operating in Oregon and Nevada.
Oh dear. Very good to know.
This wasn’t about escaping arrest.
It was about interrupting a pipeline.

Part 2 drops soon.
Why is one of the farm’s LLC owners also listed as a donor to a California immigration nonprofit with D.C. lobbying ties? 👀

ICE Rescued Kids From Likely ‘Exploitation' At Marijuana Farm And Democrats Are Furious

[Federalist] Democrats are continuing their assault on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by faking outrage over a raid where officers saved illegal alien children from an alleged child labor operation on a marijuana farm in Southern California.

ICE agents on Thursday executed a federal search warrant at a Camarillo, Ventura County, marijuana growing operation, Glass House Farms, where 10 illegal alien children were found (eight without an adult) allegedly staffing the farm. A raid of another Glass House Farms location happened in Carpinteria on the same day. According to the Los Angeles Times, officials said that 200 illegal aliens were also detained.
