ICE Raid on California Pot Farm Exposes Illegal Child Labor and Left's Outrage

A federal ICE raid targeted a cannabis farm in Southern California that was using illegal immigrant child labor, including juveniles who were unlawfully employed. Despite the serious nature of the offense involving a federally illegal drug and underage workers, the left protested the raid, even obstructing ICE agents with some protesters going as far as firing on agents.

Governor Gavin Newsom and others on the left performed outrage over children exposed to tear gas during the operation, ignoring the fact that these children were brought by protesting adults, possibly their parents who were involved in illegal activity. The raid and subsequent arrests highlight critical legal and ethical issues ignored by many Democrats, who defend illegal labor on such farms.

Ben Shapiro criticized this performative outrage and misinformation surrounding ICE raids, emphasizing the importance of federal law enforcement in protecting children and enforcing immigration laws, especially against child labor on illegal cannabis farms.
