Suspect fires on federal agents during Calif. immigration operation; FBI posts $50K reward

CAMARILLO, Calif. — The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of a suspect who allegedly fired a weapon at federal law enforcement officers during a protest in Ventura County, ABC News reported.

The shooting occurred just before 2:30 p.m. on July 10 in Camarillo where federal agents were conducting an immigration enforcement operation at Glass House Farms, a licensed cannabis farm, that drew protests, according to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

In a post on social media, Essayli said an unknown individual appeared to point and fire a handgun at agents. He shared a still image and video captured by Los Angeles news outlet KABC, showing a person wearing a black T-shirt and a white medical mask.

“Make no mistake: anyone who targets our agents will face the full force of federal prosecution,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.

During the raid, authorities discovered 10 undocumented minors at the farm, eight of whom were unaccompanied, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said in a statement posted on X. He added that the facility is now under investigation for potential child labor violations.

The FBI is asking anyone with information about the suspect or incident to come forward. The investigation is ongoing.
