The Department of Homeland Security announced on Sunday night the arrest of over 350 illegal immigrants and the rescue of 14 illegal immigrant children following raids on two California marijuana farms.

Late last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers conducted raids at a marijuana farm in Camarillo, California, and another in Carpinteria. The raids saw immediate backlash from Democrats, who claimed the raids targeted farm workers, which the Trump administration disputed.
