6. Immigration raid at cannabis farm in Ventura County sparks chaotic protest--LA Times
Fri Jul 11, 2025, 05:02 PM

...The growing crowd was kept at least a quarter of a mile away from the facility. Protesters said that some people among the crowd had been detained. Jonathan Caravello, a philosophy professor at Cal State Channel Islands, was arrested, according to activist Angelmarie Taylor, who said she was one of his students and had accompanied him to the protest.

Taylor claimed Caravello was arrested as he tried to help a man in a wheelchair when agents were pushing the crowd to move back.

She said he and another individual "were piled on by multiple agents all at once" before being taken behind a line of agents to where several vehicles stood, "and we have no idea now where they are."
