Federal agents are looking for the man who appeared to pull a gun on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during a raid at a marijuana farm north of Los Angeles, where agents and several hundred protesters clashed.
Dozens of farmworkers were detained.
“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,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X, with a clip of an ABC7 video of a protester with a gun. Essayli asked anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
The ICE raid was conducted Thursday at Glass House Farms, which is licensed to grow marijuana in Ventura County.
“Federal agents are executing a search warrant at this marijuana farm,” Essayli wrote in another post on X. “Agents have already arrested multiple individuals for impeding this operation and will continue to make arrests. Don’t interfere. You will be arrested and charged with a federal offense.”
Border patrol agents stood in a line to block protesters, according to media reports. Protesters and children were seen in TV stations' videos running as ICE agents threw canisters of tear gas.
