Protesters confront federal agents in Camarillo, California farm raid
Border Czar Tom Homan on Friday angrily condemned the violence at a California pot farm as proof anti-ICE protests will turn deadly, blaming the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrats comparing agents to Nazis.
Homan spoke out the morning after protesters were seen hurling rocks — and one even appeared to fire a gun — at agents stamping down on a massive marijuana operation where they found 10 illegal-migrant juveniles, eight of whom were there without an adult.
“What happened in California is just another example of protesters becoming criminals, and they’ve been emboldened by even members of Congress who compare ICE to Nazis and racists and terrorists,” Homan said on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning.

As they retreated a masked man in all black appeared to let off a few shots among a crowd of other protesters scampering away from advancing agents.
The clash lasted four hours as US Customs and Border Protection set up a blockade with military-style vehicles in the pastoral region.
