ʻO nā māla pot e hoʻopiha nei i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi US

Ke kanu nei ka poʻe kālepa lāʻau lapaʻau i nā miliona o nā mea kanu marijuana ma nā ʻāina ākea o ʻAmelika e kokoke loa ana i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi, e kiaʻi ana i kā lākou mau pā me nā mea kaua kaumaha, wahi a nā luna federal.

"Hoʻopau mākou i kā lākou mea kanu a hoʻi mai lākou, i kekahi manawa i kahi hoʻokahi, a kanu hou," wahi a US Forest Service Special Agent Russ Arthur.

"He mea maopopo maoli paha e hele ana ka poe hele wāwae a me ka poʻe hoʻomoana i waena o ke kahua e kū ana i kekahi poʻe ʻino weliweli loa a me nā mea kaua, no ka mea, aia kēia pilikia ma nā wahi āpau, a ke piʻi nei ka ʻino."

Ma waena o ka lāhui, ua loaʻa nā wahi ipu i hoʻopili ʻia i nā cartels ma 15 mau mokuʻāina a hiki i ka ʻākau a hiki i Wakinekona, wahi a Arthur.

ʻO ka pule i hala aku nei, ua pani ʻia kahi ʻāpana o Sequoia National Park ma Sierra Nevada i nā malihini i ka wā i hāʻule ai nā mākaʻi mai nā helikopa i loko o kahi mahiʻai marijuana he hapalua mile mai Crystal Cave, kaulana i waena o nā mākaʻikaʻi.

Ua ʻōlelo nā luna he ʻelima mau kahua ma ka Yucca Creek Canyon kahi i loaʻa ai i nā mea noiʻi nā tona o ka ʻōpala, ka ʻupena, nā kemika a me nā mea hoʻomoana, kahi ʻike i manaʻo ʻia ua hele ka poʻe mahiʻai ma laila, a i manaʻo paha e noho, no ka manawa lōʻihi.

ʻOiai ua hoʻopau nā luna i ka pā, ʻo ka mea makemake e loaʻa ka mea i makemake ai. He kanahikukūmālima pakeneka o nā mea kanu i ʻohi ʻia, wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo o ka paka ʻo Adrienne Freeman.

"I ka pule i hala aku nei no nā lā ʻeono, ma kahi o ka hele ʻana o nā ʻohana a me nā keiki i lalo i Crystal Cave, lele mākou i nā helikopter e hana i kahi hana hoʻokō kānāwai," wahi āna. “ʻAʻole pololei kēlā. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele mai i ka paka a hauʻoli.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Freeman aia kahi pali pali kokoke i ke kahua a ʻaʻole mākaukau ka hapa nui o nā malihini e hele i loko o ia wahi.

Akā paha kekahi. Ma Idaho ma mua o kēia kauwela, ua hele mai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma luna o 12,545 mau mea kanu marijuana i waiwai ʻia he $ 6.3 miliona, wahi a nā luna.

I kēia pule, ke hana nei ka National Park Service e hoʻopau i nā mea kanu ma Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, i aloha ʻia e ka poʻe lawaiʻa, kahi i hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei ua lawe mai ke keʻena i ʻeono mau pahu pahu i piha i ka mariuana - 10,000 mau mea kanu - i waiwai ʻia ma $ 8.5 miliona, e like me ka luna kiaʻi Mike Mike. Bremer.

A ma ka Pōʻalima, ua ʻōlelo ka Drug Enforcement Administration ua loaʻa iā ia he 14,500 mau mea kanu mariuana e ulu ana ma kahi ʻāpana o ka ululāʻau he 40 mau mile ma ke komohana hema o Denver, Colorado, kahi i hoʻomaka ai ka poʻe hoʻomoana.

Ua hoʻoikaika ka ʻOihana Nahele i kāna mau hoʻāʻo e hoʻouka i nā wahi ululāʻau ma Georgia a me Tennessee, me nā wahi kokoke i ka muliwai Chattahoochee, kahi punahele i waena o nā poʻe holo wāwae, nā mea hoʻomoana a me nā heihei hoʻokūkū. Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana i ka podcasting a me ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā hōʻailona ma ka ʻāina ākea, e hoʻāʻo ana e wehewehe i nā poʻe maʻamau i ke ʻano o ka māla a pehea e haʻalele koke ai.

ʻOiai ke kanu nei ka poʻe kālepa ma nā ʻāina aupuni no nā makahiki, hōʻike nā helu mai ka US Forest Service i ka nui o nā mea kanu mariuana ma ka ʻāina aupuni ua hoʻonui ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai 2005 - e nā miliona. A ʻo ia wale nō nā mea kanu i ʻike a luku ʻia e ke aupuni.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā māla mahiʻai i mahi ʻia e nā limahana cartel haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, nui ka poʻe e hana nei e uku i ka poʻe smugglers i kōkua iā lākou e hele i ka palena, wahi a nā luna. Maikaʻi a hūnā maikaʻi ʻia nā kahua hoʻomoana, me nā foxhole a me nā pūnana sniper, haʻi aku ʻo Arthur iā CNN.

Kanu ka poe paahana i eha a elima mau mahiai i ka manawa hookahi no ka loaa ana o hookahi hua nui, me ka manao e lukuia elua e ka poe hooko i ke kanawai, e haule kekahi ma muli o ka lewa, a e hao ia kekahi e ka mea a na luna i kapa ai he "pot pirates," na Amerika e pilikia ana. e kokoke ana i ka poe kalepa e kii i ka ipuhao manuahi, wahi a Arthur.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dean Growdon, he kōkua makai nui a me ka luna o ke Kalana ʻo Lassen, Kaleponi, Narcotics Task Force, ua hopohopo nui ʻo ia e pili ana i ka hana hoʻomāinoino i kēia manawa no ka mea e hoʻomaka ana ka wā hopu.

"Loaʻa iā mākou nā hōʻike hou aʻe i kēia manawa o ka makahiki mai nā mea hahai holoholona i hāʻule i nā pūnaewele," wahi āna. "Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi kanaka i ʻike e ulu ana lākou ma hope o kāna waiwai."

Ua ʻike mua ka ʻoihana makaʻi i nā pōʻino. ʻElua mau ʻelele e ola hou ana mai ka pana ʻia ʻana i Iune i ka wā i hina ai lākou ma kahi pā ipu, wahi a Sheriff Steven Warren.

I ka hālāwai ʻana, ua pana a pepehi kekahi o nā ʻelele i kahi mea ulu, wahi a Warren, a ke hoʻopiʻi ʻia nei nā mea kanu e ola nei, wahi āna.

"Ua ʻike kā mākou poʻe kāne i ka māla a ke hoʻāʻo nei lākou e hoʻi i ke kōkua i ka wā i holo ai lākou i nā mea kanu. Aia ʻelua [nā mea kanu i manaʻo ʻia] e waiho ana ma luna o ka pōhaku a i ka ʻike ʻana o kā mākou poʻe kāne iā lākou, aia kekahi manawa i maloʻo nā mea a pau, "wahi a Warren. "He kanaka i loko o ka hale lole i loaʻa iā ia kahi AK-47 a he pū kā kā mākou poʻe ma luna ona.

“Iaʻu, ʻo kēlā mea kanu, aia ʻo ia ma kahi misionari pepehi kanaka. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke manaʻoʻiʻo e ola ʻo ia i kēlā, "wahi a ka mākaʻi.

ʻOiai ua piʻi aʻe nā ʻelele federal i nā hoʻouka ʻana ma nā pūnaewele a puni ka ʻāina, paʻakikī ka hopu ʻana no ka mea ʻike nā mea ulu i ka ʻāina e like me ke kua o ko lākou mau lima.

Ke hoʻopūhoihoi nā luna iā lākou i ka hāʻule ʻana i loko o ko lākou mau wahi hoʻomoana, holo ka poʻe mahiʻai i nā wahi peʻe a i ʻole ma waena o ka ululāʻau mānoanoa, e paʻakikī ai ka hahai wāwae.

I Iulai, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia he 420,000 mau mea kanu, he $1.6 biliona, a me ka hopu ʻia ʻana o nā kānaka he 100.

Ma kahi o 82 mau ʻōiwi Mekiko i paʻa a hoʻokuʻu ʻia, haʻi aku ke keʻena loio mokuʻāina ʻo Fresno County iā CNN. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻopiʻi ke keʻena loio US i 16 mau kānaka. Inā hoʻopaʻi ʻia, ʻo ka poʻe i hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia ma mua o ka lāʻau lapaʻau e kū i 10 mau makahiki o ke ola a me $4 miliona ka uku; ʻo ka poʻe me nā moʻolelo lāʻau lapaʻau hiki ke loaʻa pālua i kēlā ʻōlelo.

Akā, liʻiliʻi ka naʻauao i hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai nā mea kanu. ʻAʻole lākou makemake e kamaʻilio me ka makaʻu i nā hopena e hiki ai i ko lākou mau ʻohana ke alo i Mexico. He mea pohihihi ka nui o ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka poʻe mahiʻai i kā lākou mau kahua hoʻomoana, pehea lākou e lawe ai i kā lākou meaʻai, a ma hea a pehea lākou e neʻe ai i kā lākou huahana. ʻAʻole maopopo loa i ke ʻano o kā lākou mālama ʻana i ka lawe ʻana i nā lako he nui - nā paipu, nā kemika a me nā mea e pono ai ke ola - i loko o ka ululāʻau hohonu. Akā ʻike maopopo ke kumu lākou i ka pōʻino nui a hiki ʻole ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia i ka kaiaola.

Hoʻopili pinepine nā mea kanu i nā ala wai maoli me ka paipu PVC e hoʻihoʻi i ka wai i kā lākou mea kanu, a i ʻole e ʻona i ka ʻāina a me nā holoholona me nā insecticides. Nui nā poach no ka meaʻai. Loaʻa nā tona o ka ʻōpala ma nā pūnaewele.

Ma Sequoia National Park, ua lilo he $1 miliona mai ka makahiki 2006 no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka mahiko marijuana wale nō, a e ʻike ʻia ka pōʻino i hana ʻia ma Crystal Cave no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo o ka paka, ʻo Adrienne Freeman.

"Ke ʻike mau nei mākou i nā ʻano mea hou i loko o kēlā ana, a ke ʻae nei mākou i nā cartels Mekiko e hoʻoweliweli e holoi i kēlā," wahi āna.
