Federal agents just caught over 300 illegal immigrants working at a California marijuana farm. This massive raid is one of the biggest immigration busts in American history. Officers rescued 14 children from terrible conditions at the farm. Americans should be outraged that our borders remain so insecure.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the arrests at Glass House Farms. Law enforcement saved kids from forced labor and exploitation at this facility. One illegal alien arrested had a violent criminal past involving child molestation. This dangerous felon worked alongside children as young as fourteen.
Customs and Border Protection exposed a child predator among those arrested. This illegal alien had been sentenced to seven years for kidnapping and attempted rape. His prior conviction was for attempted child molestation. Yet he freely worked near vulnerable children at this California farm.
Glass House Farms denies knowing they employed minors. But federal authorities are investigating serious child labor violations. California law allows children as young as twelve to work on farms. This loophole puts kids in danger from criminals crossing our open borders.
Chaos erupted during the raid as protesters blocked roads. Federal agents used tear gas and rubber bullets to clear crowds. Ambulances rushed to the scene amid the clashes. This violence shows the cost of failed immigration policies.
The rescued children came from Mexico and Honduras. Their presence highlights how cartels exploit Biden’s weak border enforcement. Every day we delay securing the border, more children face trafficking risks. This is a direct result of Democrat leadership failing America.
This raid proves illegal immigrants threaten our communities. Criminals easily blend in with workers taking American jobs. Our legal cannabis industry suffers from unfair competition. Meanwhile, innocent children pay the price for political cowardice.
America needs immediate action to secure the border once and for all. President Trump showed how strong enforcement protects our citizens. Until we restore common-sense policies, predators will keep preying on our children. This bust should be a wake-up call to every patriot.
