Democrats have been flooding the airwaves and social media with desperate messages trying to paint the ICE raids on a California marijuana farm as proof that the Trump administration is comprised of Nazis who want to punish hard-working, law-abiding crop pickers who are just trying to “feed the nation.”
In reality, many of the illegal alien workers picked up were inadvertently trying to get the nation stoned, and multiple instances of forced illegal child labor were uncovered.
Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom stayed busy, of course, preening for the cameras as he readies his expected 2028 presidential run. He waxed poetic about the wonderful souls working on the farm and blasted the feds for trying to help clean up the disastrous mess that he helped create:
"Trump calls me 'Newscum' — but he’s the real scum."
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott replied to Newsom: "Here’s some breaking news: 10 juveniles were found at this marijuana facility - all illegal aliens, 8 of them unaccompanied. It’s now under investigation for child labor violations."
"This is Newsom’s California."
Of course, Newsom didn’t mention this guy in his diatribe:
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Rodney Scott confirmed one of the illegal farmers was previously sentenced for child sex crimes and worked at the same farm as juveniles.
'This illegal alien was apprehended at the CA marijuana facility,' he said of the unnamed man.
Turns out he had been sentenced to 7 yrs for kidnapping & attempted rape, w/ a prior conviction for attempted child molestation.
'And this felon was working at the same farm as 10 kids - one being 14 yrs old.'
As I wrote in an article Saturday about the illegal alien detention facility “Alligator Alcatraz,” Democrats have worked themselves into a froth not because they actually care about poor farmworkers but because they’ve been thoroughly exposed:
The Democrats get their knickers in a twist over the conditions [at Alligator Alcatraz], but the reality is that what they're really worked up about is that the Trump administration is deporting anyone at all—and reminding the American public daily what a disaster progressives created with their cruel, dangerous immigration policies over the Biden years.
Gavin Newsom didn’t care about these people before, and he didn’t care that there was forced child labor going on at pot farms in his state. He only cares now because he hopes it will give him some sort of political edge. He has ushered in a massive decline in almost every area in what was formerly one of the great states in the union, and he wants to bring his dystopian vision to the rest of America.
Don’t let it happen.
Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
