KTLA: Possible immigration raid escalates, tear gas deployed at Camarillo farm
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/possible-immigration-raid-escalates-tear-gas-deployed-at-camarillo-farm/Editor’s note: KTLA reached out to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for comment multiple times prior to publication. As of publishing, DHS has not responded. KTLA will update this article with any new information as it becomes available.
A possible immigration raid at a farm in Ventura County escalated on Thursday afternoon when agents began firing tear gas on a crowd that had started to gather by the operation.
Sky5 launched toward the Glass House, located at 645 Laguna Road in Camarillo, after reports came in around 11:25 a.m. regarding a large federal law enforcement presence in the nearby fields, with witnesses saying agents were detaining workers. Another operation was also seen in progress at the Glass House’s location in Carpinteria.
At the location in Camarillo, KTLA’s Rich Prickett reported seeing roadways blocked on both north and southbound Laguna Road and possible protesters gathering on the front lines.
The scene escalated at around 12:35 p.m. when tear gas was seen being deployed into the crowd.
