FBI boosts reward for information on man wanted for pointing gun at officers during immigration raid

CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) -- The FBI has doubled the reward for information on a man accused of pointing a gun and possibly firing at law enforcement officers during an immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo.

The raid happened in July near Glass House Farms.



A $100,000 reward is now being offered for any information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the man.

"The unknown male is believed to have been participating in a protest," said the FBI in a post on X. "The FBI does not open investigations based on First Amendment protected activity. Assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal law enforcement officers performing their duties is a federal crime."



Glass House Farms bills itself as the largest cannabis growing operation in the world, employing hundreds of people. At the time of the raid, Border Patrol said it served a warrant on the farm because it is accused of hiring and harboring undocumented workers.



At the time of the raid, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement to ABC7 that DHS law enforcement was executing a warrant at the facility and that its "brave officers will continue to enforce the law."
