Overview

• A federal grand jury indicted Jonathan Caravello, 37, on one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon under 18 U.S.C. 111, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years if convicted.
• Prosecutors say the incident occurred July 10 as Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Border Patrol executed a high‑risk search at a 160‑acre marijuana farm in Camarillo.
• Court filings allege protesters blocked agents and threw rocks, agents deployed tear gas for crowd control, and Caravello picked up a canister and threw it back before resisting arrest.
• Homeland Security Investigations continues to investigate, and the Justice Department’s Major Frauds Section is prosecuting the case.
• Media reports identify the site as Glass House Farms and describe video of the encounter and hundreds of undocumented workers and some minors detained, details not included in the DOJ announcement.
