Extensive article on the Chinese marijuana operations in Maine, including addresses and photographs of numerous locations.
"According to an unclassified memo from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security obtained by the Maine Wire, the illicit grows are operated by Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations. The Maine Wire investigation began following the leak of a separate DHS memo that revealed the existence of more than 270 such sites in Maine. Nationwide, there are approximately 749 properties that DHS has linked to Asian TCOs.
Maine’s congressional delegation has called upon the Department of Justice to shutter the operation, but Attorney General Merrick Garland has yet to respond in writing.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney of Maine declined to comment for this story.
A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the agency that published the original leaked memo, declined to comment on the memo."
