The incident occurred outside of an agricultural farm along Laguna Road in the Camarillo area of Ventura County.
In a statement to ABC News on Thursday, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the farm was a marijuana facility.
"DHS law enforcement is executing a warrant at a marijuana facility. Our brave officers will continue to enforce the law," the spokesperson said.
ABC News' Los Angeles station observed several clashes between onlookers, or protesters, and federal agents, with at least one person being detained.
Footage from the clashes saw federal agents pinning someone to the ground.
Federal agents, who were masked during the clashes, appeared to use crowd control measures, including deploying irritants.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office released a statement on the immigration enforcement, calling it "inhumane."
"There’s a real cost to these inhumane immigration actions on hardworking families and communities, including farmworker communities, across America."
