An immigration enforcement raid at a farm in Camarillo turned into a violent clash between U.S. Border Patrol agents and protesters Thursday afternoon.

Tensions escalated at a Glass House Farms near Laguna Road after border patrol agents were in the process of "executing a warrant at a marijuana facility," according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security provided to CBS News.

Federal agents said they were also executing a criminal warrant at another farm in Carpinteria around the same time. DHS said that about 200 people were detained at both sites.

Agents formed a line to prevent a crowd of protesters from getting to the other side of the roadway. Video from a CBS News Los Angeles photographer at the scene showed agents telling the crowd to move back and disperse before they began deploying what appeared to be less-than-lethal rounds and tear gas canisters.

The SkyCal chopper flew over the scene where people could be seen running as smoke filled the area.

Protesters stayed in the area for several hours, turning into an hours-long standoff before a convoy of federal agents circumvented the protesters using dirt roads near the farm. A group noticed the convoy and attempted to intercept them by trying to stop the van from leaving and throwing rocks, shattering windows and windshields. Crowds finally cleared into the overnight hours.

"There's a real cost to these inhumane immigration actions on hardworking families and communities, including farmworker communities, across America," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. "Instead of supporting the businesses and workers that drive our economy and way of life, Stephen Miller's tactics evoke chaos, fear and terror within our communities at every turn," referring to President Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff.

"The shooting occurred on 7/10/25 at approximately 2:26pm on Laguna Rd between Wood Rd and Las Posas Rd."

In its statement, the Department of Homeland Security said it is conducting an ongoing investigation into immigration and potential child labor violations at the farms in Camarillo and Carpinteria.
