US congressman denied access to immigration operation at Carpinteria cannabis farm

CARPINTERIA, Calif. (KABC) -- Federal agents also carried out an immigration raid at the Glass House Farms cannabis nursery in Carpinteria earlier in the day.

A large crowd gathered at Foothill and Casitas Pass Road for about two hours.

At least 10 people were reportedly detained in that operation.

U.S. Congressman Salud Carbajal was denied access when he tried to get past federal agents into the farm.

In a statement, Carbajal called this completely unacceptable and said he would be demanding answers from Homeland Security.
