Organized left-wing activist groups encouraged protesters to arrive at a chaotic Southern California Immigration raid where a man allegedly opened fire on federal agents Thursday, social media posts show.
The Ventura County chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and local activist organization VC Defensa cheered on protesters who were confronting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it searched a cannabis farm in Camarillo, California, according to Instagram posts. The FBI is on the hunt for a man seen on video allegedly shooting a handgun at agents, ABC7 reported, but the two organizations’ Instagram accounts are already calling for a Friday protest nearby.
“Right now — more support needed at Laguna Rd!” reads one of VC Defensa’s posts about the ICE farm raid, which reports indicate is located on Laguna and Las Posas Road. The post came alongside footage of demonstrators crowding into the farm. “Community goes into fields to protect area from more agents coming in,” a caption on the video reads.
“7/10 Camarillo all out to Laguna and Las Posas,” reads another post
