Democrats clash with ICE over characterization of marijuana farm raid
Immigration and Customs Enforcement faced off with dozens of protesters at a marijuana farm in California‘s Ventura County while conducting a raid that allegedly found illegal immigrant children being put to work against the law.
“How many MS-13 gang members are waking up at 3 a.m. to pick strawberries? O’yeah, zero! Trump said he’d go after ‘bad hombres,’ but he’s targeting the immigrant farm workers who feed America. Either he lied — or he can’t tell the difference,” Gomez posted on X.
Gomez saw considerable heat from high-profile Republicans for his post.
Vice President JD Vance posted on X, “Democrats are having a fit because we’re enforcing our laws against people working at a weed farm.”
Trump administration spokesperson Steven Cheung added, “Jimmy Gomez must be getting high off that Strawberry Kush because this is a weed farm found to have exploited juveniles here illegally.”
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kiersten Pels told the Washington Examiner that Gomez “brazenly invented a story that the illegal migrants were simply picking ‘strawberries.'”
“Why are he and his Democrat colleagues willing to go to such lengths to defend illegal child labor in California?” she added.
