ICE agents clash with protesters at California cannabis farm

Democrats may have finally gotten just what I believe they have wanted all along by encouraging protests at ICE raids.

During a raid at a California cannabis farm, agents clashed with protesters, with one report noting the presence of a protester with a gun.

To this point, nobody has died, but now it seems as though such an outcome is a virtual certainty, as we see the temperature around these raids escalating on a daily basis.

Attacks increasing

The recent holiday weekend was horrific in terms of attacks against agents.

In one instance in Texas, 10 assailants went after agents, and we have seen ambushes as well, as the violence against agents continues to rise.

About a month ago, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that attacks against agents were up 500%, but in just a few weeks, that number has increased to 700%.

We are only in July, yet we have already seen more attacks this year than there were against agents all of last year.

The resistance

ICE agents raided a cannabis farm in California that was allegedly using child labor as well as employing illegal immigrants, but the liberal horde decided to push back against the raid.

Agents arrived at the Glass House Farms, a state-licensed cannabis facility, with an arrest warrant for all illegals working at the facility. When agents arrived, there awas a wall of protesters, and agents were confronted with tear gas and smoke bombs.

Luis McArthur, the mayor of nearby Oxnard, blamed the violence on agents, not the protesters attacking and using weapons, stating, "It is becoming increasingly apparent that the actions taken by ICE are bold and aggressive, demonstrating insensitivity towards the direct impact on our community. These actions are causing unnecessary distress and harm. I remain committed to working alongside our Attorney General and the Governor’s office to explore potential legal avenues to address these activities."

The FBI is now reportedly offering a $50,000 reward for anyone with details on the suspect who allegedly opened fire on agents, with U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli posting, "FBI has issued a $50,000 award for information leading to the conviction of an Unknown Subject who appeared to fire a pistol at Federal Law Enforcement Officers near Camarillo. The shooting occurred on 7/10/25 at approximately 2:26pm on Laguna Rd between Wood Rd and Las Posas Rd."

Homan goes off

Border czar Tom Homan has been doing the media circuit to blast Democrats for continuing to use disgusting rhetoric against agents, which both he and I believe is leading to these assaults.

Homan stated, “What happened in California is just another example of protesters becoming criminals, and they’ve been emboldened by even members of Congress who compare ICE to Nazis and racists and terrorists.”

He later added, “I said months ago, it’s going to end up with a loss of life -- and we had one the other day in Texas, and it’s not over.”

I have been saying the same thing, but also adding that I think that this is exactly what Democrats want to see. They want these protests to get the point that agents or the Guard are forced to open fire on civilians, resulting in loss of life, so they can use it during the election to paint this administration as a dictatorship. My guess is that it's only a matter of time before blood is in the streets, and that blood, in my opinion, will be on the hands of Democrats.
