Federal immigration agents conducted large-scale raids on two cannabis farms in Ventura County, Southern California, on July 10, 2025, resulting in the arrest of approximately 200 immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally. The operations triggered confrontations between ICE agents and protesters, who gathered rapidly at the sites. During the raid near Camarillo, protesters clashed with federal agents, blocking vehicles and shouting, while smoke canisters were deployed to disperse the crowd.
