JUST IN: Anti-ICE Extremist Shoots At Federal Agents In Latest Riots

Published

At least one rioter could be seen shooting at federal agents after anti-riots erupted in Camarillo, California on Thursday.

Violence erupted Thursday after federal agents raided a farm in California in one of two major immigration enforcement operations in the area. The incident occurred outside of an agricultural farm along Laguna Road in the Camarillo area of Ventura County.

Aerial footage obtained by ABC 7 Los Angeles shows a large group of far-left rioters clashing with agents dressed in riot gear outside the farm. Agents were forced to deploy tear gas and other crowd control measures in an effort to clear an exit path.

At least one rioter could be seen holding onto the hood of an ICE vehicle before jumping off and throwing an unknown projectile. It is unclear how many rioters have been arrested, though agents could be seen pinning multiple people on the ground.

In what has become a hallmark of the anti-ICE riots observed in Los Angeles, Austin, Seattle and other Democrat-controlled cities, a number of rioters could be seen waving Mexican flags.

Another large-scale immigration operation was seen in Carpinteria, California, located just north of Ventura County.

At one point during the Laguna Road incident, at least one rioter could be seen firing a handgun at federal agents. The rioter, who was dressed in a black shirt, black jeans and a white face mask, turned and appeared to fire multiple shots after crowd control measures were deployed.

The gunman then ran a few steps before turning around and firing once again, overhead footage obtained by ABC 7 Los Angeles shows. It is unknown if anybody was stuck by the gunfire as of this report.

The latest incident comes just days after 11 people were charged in connection with an ambush-style attack on an ICE facility in North Texas. One police officer was shot in the neck after heavily-armed rioters dressed in tactical gear caused a disturbance outside the facility in order to lure agents out so they could shoot them.

Searches of the suspects’ homes yielded additional weapons, masks, tactical gear, two-way radios and “insurrectionist material. 10 people are facing charges of attempted murder or discharging a firearm within the grounds of a federal facility, while one additional individual, who obtained a green card under the Biden Administration, has been charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

Law enforcement is searching for at least one additional Antifa-linked individual who is believed to have participated in the attack.

 

In an X post Saturday, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department is taking a “zero tolerance” approach to any violence targeting federal agents or facilities. Rioting also occurred once again at an ICE facility in Portland over the weekend, while additional facilities in Seattle, Newark, Los Angeles and elsewhere have been targeted in recent weeks.

“We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners,” Blanche announced Saturday. “The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”
