Got to keep them children working at the marijuana farm.
With search warrants in hand, federal agents raided two Central Coast cannabis farms on Thursday – one in Carpinteria and the other in Camarillo – resulting in a protester pointing a gun at agents, a farm worker’s death and the discovery of 10 children at one of the cannabis facilities.
All of the children were undocumented and eight were unaccompanied, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott. The owners of Glass House Farms are now facing allegations he violated child labor laws.
While cannabis is legal to use and grow in California, it is against the law for anyone under 21 years of age to be on the premises of a cannabis business, even if they are a family member.
