<p>Federal agents clashed with protesters during an immigration raid at a farm in Southern California, one of at least two large-scale raids in the region on Thursday.</p>

<p>The incident occurred outside of an agricultural farm along Laguna Road in the Camarillo area of Ventura County.</p>

<p>In a statement to ABC News on Thursday, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the farm was a marijuana facility.</p>

<p>"DHS law enforcement is executing a warrant at a marijuana facility. Our brave officers will continue to enforce the law," the spokesperson said.</p>

<p>ABC News' Los Angeles station observed several clashes between onlookers, or protesters, and federal agents, with at least one person being detained.</p>

<p>Footage from the clashes saw federal agents pinning someone to the ground.</p>

<p>Federal agents, who were masked during the clashes, appeared to use crowd control measures, including deploying irritants.</p>

<p>California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office released a statement on the immigration enforcement, calling it "inhumane."</p>

<p>"There's a real cost to these inhumane immigration actions on hardworking families and communities, including farmworker communities, across America."</p>

<p>Newsom's office said in the statement that the Trump administration's tactics "evoke chaos, fear and terror within our communities at every turn."</p>

<p>Another large-scale immigration operation was seen in Carpinteria, California, north of Ventura County.</p>

<p>The coastal town's city council called for a meeting on Thursday to discuss the uptick in immigration enforcement in the area, which saw two raids earlier this week, according to the city.</p>

<p>Increased immigration enforcement comes as President Donald Trump has instructed ICE officers to do "all in their power" to oversee the largest mass deportation program in history.</p>

<p>On Monday, heavily armed federal border agents and U.S. troops descended upon MacArthur Park in Los Angeles as part of an immigration raid that appeared to turn up mostly empty.</p>

<p>The operation, which included 90 armed troops and 17 military Humvees, displaced a summer day camp, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who said the only point of the operation appeared to be "a political agenda of provoking fear and terror."</p>

<p>"To me, this is another example of the administration ratcheting up chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in an American city," Bass said.</p>

<p>Earlier this summer, Trump deployed some 4,700 troops to California under a law known as Title 10, which allows the use of military forces to protect federal personnel and federal property.</p>

<p>The president's action came as anti-immigration enforcement protests gripped the city, which saw both peaceful marches and violent clashes with law enforcement.</p>
