Federal immigration officers were attacked with rocks and bricks during enforcement operations at cannabis farms in California.
Border Czar Tom Homan has demanded an end to violence against ICE agents after reports surfaced that a protester fired a gun at federal officers.
On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he has granted "Total Authorization" to federal immigration agents to protect themselves following violent encounters with protesters during an operation at a California cannabis farm.
While returning from Texas, where he assessed the damage from floods that killed at least 120 people, Trump posted a detailed message on Truth Social about the attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
"I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle," he wrote on Truth Social.
"Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER."
Federal authorities raided Glass House Farms in Camarillo and Carpinteria, using tear gas to control the situation. Reports indicate that protesters threw objects at agents.
In response, Trump stated he instructed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan to direct ICE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other law enforcement agencies facing "thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so."
"I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public," he wrote. "I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The United Farm Workers reported that one worker died from injuries sustained during the incident.
"This man was not in and has not been in CBP or ICE custody," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a greenhouse and fell 30 feet. CBP immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible."
