75 illegal immigrants arrested in massive federal drug bust near Coachella
06/23/2025 // Cassie B. //
Federal agents raided three massive illegal marijuana operations near Coachella, arresting 75 illegal immigrants and one U.S. citizen in a DEA-led crackdown.
The operations spanned 790 acres of high-tech grow sites with evidence of exploited laborers, including two men found locked in a filthy trailer.
Shocking conditions included makeshift living quarters in extreme heat, highlighting the brutal reality of black-market labor tied to cartels.
Multiple federal agencies, including ICE and the National Guard, coordinated the raid, one of the largest in recent memory.
California’s unchecked black-market cannabis trade fuels cartels, exploits workers, and undermines legal dispensaries despite state enforcement claims.
