Deputies clear out illegal marijuana

STEPPING UP IN THE WILD WEST (06 08 2021) More than 400 law enforcement personnel cleared multiple illegal cartel-operated marijuana cultivation sites in Lake Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva called this the largest operation ever to take place in the history of the Los Angeles. ( On Tuesday’s Hannity, the reporter said the sheriff told him just the cleared area behind him would cause a loss of $50,000,000 to the cartel).

“We’re going to send a loud and clear message to all the cartels in the illegal operations: Your days are over here and you need to pack up and leave, or we’re going to find you,” the Democrat sheriff said.

>>On the Hannity show, Sheriff Villanueva said the “origins of the sheriff’s department date back to 1850, this was a Wild Wild West here. The sherrif kept law and order. Now in 2021, we’re reintroducing that concept where the sheriff (ultimately) keeps law and order and we’re going to make sure we drive the criminals out of business ...”

Sheriff Villanueva said that in 2020 the department’s narcotics detectives identified 150 illegal marijuana grows in the desert. That number has since grown to more than ! 500 sites.

“As you can see, there were some people who were very, very busy during the pandemic. (While Californians and legal businesses dutifully were locked down). We’re going to continue after that, until we get to the total of 500, until there’s not a single marijuana grow left standing here in the high desert,” Villanueva said.
