Jillian Michaels Erupts at CNN’s Phillip: ‘You’re Telling Me Undocumented, Unaccompanied Kids Can Work at a Marijuana Farm!?’

MICHAELS: “Let’s look at what just happened, the glass farm — a Glass House marijuana farm. Here’s what people don’t want to see on the other side. They don’t want to see people throwing rocks into the cars of federal agents. They don’t want to hear that someone supposedly opened fire on them. They also don’t want to learn that there are a bunch of kids there that are undocumented or unaccompanied, and they think this is crazy talk, and we should be focusing on that. And I, for one, think, how did those kids get there?”
PHILLIP: “I just want to add one thing. We do have to go, but the UFW, the United Farm Workers, put out a statement about this. They said, ‘The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, California. Others, including U.S. citizens, remain totally unaccounted for. Many workers, including U.S. citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for eight hours or more. U.S. citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.’ They also added that farmwork work is exempted from child labor laws. So — “
MICHAELS: “You’re telling me undocumented, unaccompanied kids can work at a marijuana farm?!”
PHILLIP: “I’m not saying the undocumented. I’m not talking about the undocumented part. But according to this statement, in this country, not just at farm, and not at marijuana farms at all.”
MICHAELS: “Abby, don’t give me semantics. Look at the reality of what we’re talking about. How did an unaccompanied, undocumented 14-year-old in the middle of the day — “
PHILLIP: “Hey, hey, Jillian — hey, Jillian, I believe, and many people might believe children should be subject to child labor laws.”
MICHAELS: “Absolutely.”
PHILLIP: “But it’s true in this country that when it comes to agricultural work, they’re not. And that includes marijuana farms. So the legality of their status is a separate issue, but the fact of children being there is not actually something that is necessarily illegal.”
MICHAELS: “I have a really hard time believing that.”
PHILLIP: “So there’s that. So it’s not unusual for there to be teenagers working in a farm.”
MICHAELS: “A 14-year-old can work at a marijuana-growing — “
PHILLIP: “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a marijuana farm or an apple farm.”
MICHAELS: “Kids can’t work in a bar.”
PHILLIP: “It’s agriculture. They’re not smoking the marijuana, they’re cultivating it.”
MICHAELS: “If that’s the law, that’s outrageous and should be changed.”
PHILLIP: “The point is, the point is this incident, and we’re still learning a lot more about it, was very dangerous and put a lot of people, including ICE officers and those immigrants in danger.”
MICHAELS: “Don’t attack federal law enforcement agents.”
PHILLIP: “Hey, I agree with you, but the tactics are producing chaos and violence.”
MICHAELS: “They are.”
PHILLIP: “And I think that that is one of the things that’s caused people.”
CHAMPION: “That’s the thing, the tactics that you’re talking about.”
MICHAELS: “Who attacks first, that’s my question.”
PHILLIP: “And we don’t know. We will find out.”
MICHAELS: “Well, please let me know.”
