California Cannabis Farm Under Federal Investigation For ‘Child Labor Violations'

9 unaccompanied children rescued as protesters clash with authorities at Glass House Farms facilities.
The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.
Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.
According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assembly member Gregg Hart in July 2023.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott tweeted that the farm is "now under investigation for child labor violations" and the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News on Friday that nine unaccompanied children in the U.S. illegally were rescued.
"So glad our law enforcement could rescue another child," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.

Glass House Brands said in a statement that they complied with the federal warrants issued.
"Yesterday, Glass House Brands received immigration and naturalization warrants. As per the law, we verified that the warrants were valid and we complied. Workers were detained and we are assisting to provide them legal representation," the company tweeted.
"Glass House has never knowingly violated applicable hiring practices and does not and has never employed minors. We do not expect this to affect operations moving forward. We will provide additional details when applicable."
On Thursday, protesters clashed with federal authorities in Camarillo during an immigration operation. Federal authorities had a warrant for illegal employees, Fox News has learned. Another raid also occurred at another Glass House Farm in Carpinteria.
In addition, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said the FBI has offered a $50,000 award for information leading to the conviction of an unknown suspect who appeared to fire a pistol at federal law enforcement officers near Camarillo.

Boston DA Who Threatened ICE Officer With Contempt Gets FAFO’d

A Boston District Attorney and a Boston judge are getting a well-deserved lesson in constitutional law and the Supremacy Clause, and it's coming from U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley. It seems an Immigration & Customs Enforcement officer, Brian Sullivan, arrested an illegal alien in a Boston courtroom, pursuant to a valid federal warrant. Now the DA is threatening Sullivan for taking the illegal alien out of the courtroom, and the judge in the case has already found Officer Sullivan in contempt for arresting the illegal alien during the trial - and both of them may well now be in the second half of the famous "Fool Around, Find Out" cycle.

Officer Sullivan, we note, was doing his duty. He had a valid federal warrant for the arrest. Boston, as a "sanctuary" city, would very likely have released this criminal to the streets, a criminal with serious drug trafficking charges. And, if Boston was a responsible jurisdiction that cooperated with federal authorities enforcing immigration law, the high-profile courtroom arrest would not have been necessary; ICE could have rolled up to the back foor of the jail and picked the perp up.
She also sent a letter to Judge Mark Summerville, who held the ICE officer in contempt for arresting the alien during his trial.
"It is well settled that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution immunizes federal officers from state prosecution, including contempt proceedings for actions taken in the course of their official duties. Please be advised that this court lacks any authority whatsoever to proceed in this matter with respect to ICE officer Brian Sullivan." - U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley
The Supremacy Clause, Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, reads:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
This would include legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by the president - like, say, immigration laws. It is against federal law to interfere with a federal officer in the discharge of his lawful duties, and that is precisely what DA Kayden and Judge Summerville are doing.
In this matter, both the district attorney and the judge, people who presumably should have known better, are finding themselves way out of their league. She is already experienced in matters like this, having previously served as lead attorney for Boston's Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force. A Trump appointee, she is already showing that she won't be trifled with, that she knows the law and the Constitution, and that she won't brook any nonsense from a DA or a judge with an agenda.
And that agenda is baffling. These "sanctuary city" politicians, DAs, and judges are working to keep criminals in their cities. That's acting directly against the best interest of the people of the State of Massachusetts and the City of Boston, but we can hope that the voters of Massachusetts in general and Boston in particular are self-aware enough to notice safer streets with these people gone and to vote accordingly.

Tom Homan’s Full Speech At CPAC 2025

There’s such a thing as having the right man for the job. Tom Homan is the right man for this job. He is a pit bull, he’s fierce and determined, and he will get that job done.
The speech is 15:03.

I really liked the entire speech and I was especially proud of the fact that he called out Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for having the strongest immigration laws in the nation.
