Operation Save Our Sierra, one that involves local, state and federal agencies working together to remove marijuana growing operations, investigate and arrest drug traffickers, and remove infrastructure on public lands in Fresno County, has seized more than $1 billion worth of marijuana.
82 Mexican nationals have been arrested and 330,000 plants have been removed so far, with more to follow. The operation has been focusing on sparsely populated areas east of Fresno where there is little law enforcement.
