The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is firing back at California Gov. Gavin Newsom following controversial immigration raids on marijuana farms that uncovered unaccompanied migrant children working under potentially exploitative conditions. The clash has reignited debates about immigration enforcement, labor laws, and the responsibility of state versus federal authorities when it comes to protecting vulnerable minors.
The Viral Raid
The controversy began after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a cannabis cultivation site in Ventura County, California. Video footage of the operation quickly spread online, showing federal agents moving through rows of marijuana plants and detaining several individuals suspected of working illegally.
But what caught the public’s attention even more was DHS’s revelation that eight unaccompanied migrant children were among those discovered at the site. According to officials, the children appeared to have been subjected to illegal labor practices and may have been trafficked into the operation.
“The Biden administration lost ~300,000 unaccompanied children—many of these innocent children were trafficked and exploited,” DHS wrote in a pointed post on X (formerly Twitter). “At the Ventura, California marijuana facility, ICE and CBP law enforcement rescued 8 unaccompanied migrant children from what looks like exploitation, violation of child labor laws and potentially human trafficking or smuggling.”
