FAMILY members and others wait for news of loved ones at Glass House Farms.

The federal law enforcement agency doubled its reward for a man who it said was apparently a protester at the July 10 raid and “appeared to point a firearm and possibly fired a pistol at federal law enforcement officers.”

The immigration action led to the arrests of more than 300 suspected undocumented workers during raids at the Camarillo and Carpinteria operations of Glass House Farms, a large publicly traded cannabis producer.

Agents in masks and riot gear marched for hours through the company’s vast greenhouses in Camarillo as workers fled and hid in panic.

One worker, Jaime Alanís Garcia, died after he fell three stories while trying to evade capture.
