Gunman Opens Fire On Federal Agents
A gunman opened fire on ICE agents who were conducting a raid in Ventura County, California Thursday afternoon. The entire incident was captured on video. No officers were struck by the gunfire. And the suspect has not been arrested.
Hundreds of protesters, many waving Mexican flags, clashed with federal agents – hurling rocks and other debris at the officers. The operation was taking place at a farm along Laguna Road near Camarillo.
At one point, a group of protesters were seen facing off with agents, some of whom threw smoke canisters towards the mob.
“We were speaking our mind like we can as U.S. citizens. We got tear-gassed… I got hit with a paintball. This is not OK,” one demonstrator told ABC News. “This is what we need to be doing as people — coming together against them, the tyranny. They are evil.”
Camarillo City Council member Martita Martinez-Bravo condemned the federal agents for rounding up illegal aliens.
“We are in serious trouble. The farmworking community, the agricultural workforce, was already struggling. They’ve already been struggling to get workers out on the field and now with these additional tactics being utilized by the federal government unfortunately, somebody’s gonna have to pay the price and I think that might be us and that will also be the agricultural growers who’s food may rot. I mean, who’s gonna be picking your fruit and your veggies and sadly now every time that we sit down to eat I want people to remember that it is being harvested under real serious conditions of trauma and terror.”
