    CDFA needs to do a better job instead of acting like you’re are partnership with cartels.

  2. @LolaNogales-g8v on August 1, 2025 at 2:01 pm

    Oh really? So were the owners arrested or just the workers? Eye roll.

    What kind of DCC-licensed cannabis company gets raided by ICE and allegedly employs hundreds of undocumented workers — including minors?

    Glass House Brands (GLASF), a publicly traded company, is now facing serious questions after federal raids exposed illegal labor at its facilities. If they used third-party vendors, who was verifying legal status? Were taxes paid? Did they lie to the CDTFA, EDD, or IRS?

    A worker is dead. That’s not just a scandal — it could be criminal.

    And if rumors of an IRS whistleblower are true, we may see massive tax fraud exposed — with 30% of recovered funds going to the informant.

    DCC, the IRS, and the SEC need to act now.

    Cannabis is legal — but this? This is lawless.

    So the real reason they didn’t want ice to come into the fields is so they couldn’t see all the children the cartels have picking marijuana

  5. @Papeeshka on August 1, 2025 at 2:02 pm

    So the protestors are FOR CHILD TRAFFICKING, FOR CHILD SLAVE LABOR, FOR UNACCOMPANIED MINORS HANGING OUT AT, WORKING AT, OR LIVING ON A DRUG FARM? WTF

  6. @Dig-y1f on August 1, 2025 at 2:04 pm

    So the pot farm is probably owned by the Mexican cartel

  7. @Dig-y1f on August 1, 2025 at 2:05 pm

    Harvest in the morning go back to Mexico in the evening 😮

  8. @LindaThrikkle on August 1, 2025 at 2:07 pm

    Get them out safely

    Kauai has a hundred farms like this

  11. @charlessebastian2679 on August 1, 2025 at 2:08 pm

    Why aren’t these protestors working. I know they are all on government handouts

  12. @bonniehage8163 on August 1, 2025 at 2:11 pm

    Are these "protesters" FOR child labor rather than against the exploitation of minors, illegal or otherwise? Stay out of the way of ICE!

  13. @byronmillanicia3384 on August 1, 2025 at 2:15 pm

    Hope the young fellows are ok.

  14. @Dig-y1f on August 1, 2025 at 2:15 pm

    Shut down all weed farms. And if people want it they grow it . And only a few plants

  15. @petergriffinson1907 on August 1, 2025 at 2:16 pm

    Illegal not undocumented. Do better news nation

  16. @perryschafer5431 on August 1, 2025 at 2:17 pm

    No raids in Nebraska meat packing plants

  17. @mikeyjordan6035 on August 1, 2025 at 2:18 pm

    The the View host is wrong! in California, minors (individuals under 21 years old) are generally not permitted to work in the licensed commercial cannabis industry, including at cultivation (marijuana) farms.

  18. @freone111 on August 1, 2025 at 2:19 pm

    California is sick in the head

  19. @isaiahbennett8113 on August 1, 2025 at 2:24 pm

    They say the only reason thca is legal is because it won’t intoxicate or (get you high) until you burn it. But regular weed actually does the same thing molecularly and they are taking people to jail (possibly ruining there life with felony charges) for something thats is being done legally right front of there face on the side of the street in a store.(hypocrisy) And then there’s is really no other reason they are doing it other than to keep effortlessly making millions of dollars from Probation/Community Corrections and Court Cost with Fines because around 20% of Americans smoke marijuana and it’s doesn’t even hurt anyone. I’m not a smoker and I can clearly see that all this is really pathetic and corrupt and crooked and fucked up yea all of those words work. somebody really needs to stand up and speak 🗣️

  20. @jims1995 on August 1, 2025 at 2:24 pm

    Where are the airport firetrucks with the 250psi water monitors and fire-retardant foam or even just a regular fire truck with 250 psi water monitors, that will keep anyone at bay.

  24. @estherreyna9807 on August 1, 2025 at 2:27 pm

    marijuana farm, tell the truth investigations for child labor an possibly trafficking

  25. @bingofuel3545 on August 1, 2025 at 2:28 pm

    Their crying the immigrants are being mistreated. They found like 8 underage kids at that farm all illeagals all the workers illeagals and that farm, has been facing a lawsuit for not paying workers what they were promised. Think about that. In light of that it should be shut down the product destroyed. Imagine, they are farming drugs now under newscum. If hiring illeagals isn’t enforced then it should be its just not cause they are used as cheap labor and this is happening at fedex, ups. Amazon. They need to clean those places out too.

  26. @leeb.7188 on August 1, 2025 at 2:28 pm

    This is why the federal government should make marijuana illegal nationwide. These states that legalized it because they were greedy for the tax dollars don’t care about the problems that follow drug operations. I’ve seen so many stoned drivers with pot smoke wafting from their cars; stoned employees who can’t follow directions; and then the cartels and organized crime growing pot on thousands of acres that used to produce food…..while employing illegals and minors.

  27. @2417icelandgoblin on August 1, 2025 at 2:28 pm

    Enforce the law! America has laws! If you dont like it, leave.

    No those where kids working summer jobs probably. Its summer.

  33. @OneTrailOver on August 1, 2025 at 2:35 pm

    Close down all weed farms and this problem will stop. 👍

  34. @MrSir99 on August 1, 2025 at 2:35 pm

    More ICE please.

  35. @Mary-kb1jl on August 1, 2025 at 2:36 pm

    How are the word spread???

  36. @NeganACSU on August 1, 2025 at 2:37 pm

    Several recent news reports mention connections between California Governor Gavin Newsom and the cannabis industry, particularly in the context of campaign donations and recent state regulations:
    Campaign Donations:
    Graham Farrar, co-founder of Glass House Farms, a cannabis farm that faced a federal immigration raid in July 2025, donated $10,000 to Newsom’s campaign in 2018.
    Other individuals and businesses associated with the cannabis industry have made donations to Democratic political action committees and candidates in California, including contributions to ActBlue California as recently as June 2024 through Glass House Brands.

  37. @lisafoy1328 on August 1, 2025 at 2:40 pm

    You don’t give ICE A bigger budget than the marines unless you’re about to pull some deeply evil sh*t

  38. @as_i_see_it_65 on August 1, 2025 at 2:41 pm

    LOL

  39. @donnasloane9031 on August 1, 2025 at 2:41 pm

    All arrested should be vetted much quicker….we want only illegals and gang members deported….not immigrants that are trying to become citizens.and don’t forget…farmers could have been given fake iid’s and paperwork.

  40. @byronmillanicia3384 on August 1, 2025 at 2:42 pm

    😮😮😮 thousands die from fentanyl use !!! But some how marijuana is a priority for law enforcement. I was offered methamphetamine in a huge print business that even handles IRS tax forms, but some how they are going after marijuana!!!

  41. @ChaseEagleback on August 1, 2025 at 2:43 pm

    This has been the Dem plan all along. They’ve been filling up the country with their 5th column for four years now. They’re taunting ICE hoping someone gets shot so they can try to justify their communist revolution. People have been predicting this for years.

  42. @MrI8igmac on August 1, 2025 at 2:43 pm

    Crazy how criminal activity like human trafficking has Americans devided.

  43. @antiquemacabre on August 1, 2025 at 2:44 pm

    Sadly, there’s no respect for law enforcement anymore. They’re just there doing their jobs. Want to make a difference? Make sure a dictator doesn’t get voted into office.

  44. @squashdaspaz on August 1, 2025 at 2:44 pm

    A convicted sex offender and repeat Epstein islander is using US military to carry out the largest human trafficking operation of the century on US soil. I would hope some people object

  45. @perryschafer5431 on August 1, 2025 at 2:45 pm

    Maybe they shouldn’t have been separated from their parents

  46. @FarmingKansas on August 1, 2025 at 2:49 pm

    Using, Growing and selling Marijuana is a Federal crime, California can not override Federal law, there growing, selling and using this drug using children and illegal aliens why is the DOJ not arresting and jailing them including the Governor, California AG and the Sheriffs of those Counties

  47. @donnasloane9031 on August 1, 2025 at 2:49 pm

    I thought pot grow was legal in cali

  48. @007kingifrit on August 1, 2025 at 2:53 pm
