Overview

• On July 10–11, ICE officers backed by National Guard troops swept two Glass House Farms facilities in Camarillo and Carpinteria under criminal search warrants.
• Authorities arrested about 200 immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally and discovered at least 10 unaccompanied minors on site, raising child labor and trafficking concerns.
• Hundreds of protesters blocked rural roads during the raids, and federal agents deployed tear gas and less-lethal munitions to disperse the crowd.
• The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward after an unidentified individual allegedly fired a pistol at federal agents near the Camarillo standoff.
• California lawmakers were denied oversight access during the operations and are demanding greater transparency as DHS disputes reports of a worker’s death.
