VDH: The Illegal, Democrat-Linked Pot Farm The Left Wants You to Ignore

Glass House Farms openly employed over 300 illegal aliens, including minors and individuals charged with violent crimes. Despite the clear violations of immigration and labor laws, left-wing protesters—tipped off in advance—rushed in to block ICE agents. Among them: a CSU professor who threw a tear gas canister at law enforcement.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this incident that exposes a disturbing truth about California’s political class on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: I His Own Words.”

“ This raid typified or exemplified or was emblematic of all the strange things that are going on with illegal immigration. First of all, this was a very liberal owner. He was a campaign donor to Gavin Newsom. Gave him over $10,000. He’s given to the DNC. And yet, ICE went out there because they had news that not only were there over 350 people there who were illegally openly working in violation of immigration law, but there were minors.

“ And yet, the Left can think that this is going to be a legitimate protest movement with popularity or favorability among the California or, indeed, the United States public. I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
