A cannabis farm in California, a donor to Governor Gavin Newsom, is under federal investigation following a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents that uncovered child labor violations. The operation, Glass House Farms, was found to be employing 361 undocumented workers, including at least 14 children as young as 14 years old. During the raid, nine unaccompanied children were rescued, and one worker died amid the enforcement action. The state has confirmed an open complaint regarding illegal child labor at the facility. The founder of the farm, Graham Farra, is a prominent Democratic donor who has contributed to Newsom and other Democratic politicians. Newsom has faced criticism for his stance on illegal immigration and labor practices in California, with statements acknowledging the reliance on undocumented workers in sectors such as agriculture and construction. The investigation into the cannabis farm is ongoing, with federal and state authorities examining the allegations of child trafficking and labor exploitation.
