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.

Wow. So Republicans are better at recognizing weed plants than Democrats are?
Wonder how that happened?

Jimmy Gomez (D) can't seem to recognize the difference between marijuana and strawberries, but Steven Cheung (R) and Kiersten Pels (R) can.

Republicans seemed to know that the crop was marijuana, but Gomez thought it was strawberries.
Obviously he isn't a smoker....because smokers would know what the plant looked like.
I learned when visiting LA that marijuana is California's biggest crop. So was it just a lucky guess for Republicans?
Your guess is as good as mine, but I do have concerns about the prudence, independence, and thoughtfulness of their decisions, and how well they meet the priorities and needs of the people they claim to represent.

What are your concerns regarding the child labor that was taking place? Do you think children should be harvesting marijuana?

What’s the evidence they were put to work harvesting anything? Claims from our lying government have no merit.

What else would they have children doing? Processing it? Packaging it? What's suitable child labor on a marijuana farm?

Never took your kids to work with you?

Where’s the evidence they were doing any of the work?

Do you know what the evidence is at all regarding what was found, or are you just spitballing? Personally I'm going by the report until I find out otherwise.

Some of you take this administration at their word. I don’t. What evidence is there any of the kids at the farm were being put to work and didn’t just happen to be there when ICE showed up to terrorize the community?

Sounds like you're going by conspiracy theory. I think ICE found those putting illegals to work for cheap illegal undocumented labor, had no qualms about adding children to their sweatshop workforce.

I’m going by the complete lack of any evidence to support the claim.

You mean besides the video and first hand witness accounts? Or perhaps because they were unaccompanied minors?

What do you mean unaccompanied? They were there with the people who work the farm who’ve now been abducted by ICE. Everyone was perfectly fine until these terrorists showed up.

You should really try news sources that do not have an exclusive spin on information.

Your only source is the border patrol posting on Twitter? Maybe you trust these lying thugs.

I don’t.

Yes I did. It linked to a post on X. The government’s primary propaganda avenue.
