Calif. Pot Farm Owner Raided By ICE Donated to Newsom, Dems

Records show that Graham Farra, co-founder and president of Glass House Farms, a site where migrant children as young as 14 were found working, has contributed thousands of dollars to Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state Democrats.

Glass House Farms, based in Ventura County, is California’s largest cannabis cultivator and was once praised as a leader in “green,” environmentally friendly cannabis.

ICE agents rounded up 361 undocumented workers last Thursday, including 14 minors-eight of whom were unaccompanied-during a raid that turned violent as protesters clashed with officers. One worker died after falling from a greenhouse during the operation.

Farra has previously contributed to numerous Democratic candidates and causes in California, including a $10,000 donation to Gavin Newsom’s 2018 campaign.

Campaign finance records also show he gave to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal PAC and to Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA). In 2019, the Los Angeles Times reported that Farra was photographed presenting an oversized check to local school officials for a scholarship fund.
