北加非法大麻种植泛滥成灾：国会议员致信 FBI 要求彻查跨国犯罪网络，锡斯基尤县一年铲除逾33万株
美国国会众议员 James Gallagher（加州第一选区）办公室宣布，Gallagher 已于2026年10月19日致信联邦调查局（FBI）局长 Kash Patel，要求联邦层面启动协调调查，彻查在北加州锡斯基尤县（Siskiyou County）与沙斯塔县（Shasta County）运作数千个非法大麻种植点的跨国犯罪组织，并与当地警长、国土安全调查局（HSI）和联邦环保署第九区办公室直接协作。
Gallagher 在信中指出，非法种植已席卷北加州乡村地区，一排排塑料薄膜大棚盖满整片地产，种植用水靠从附近水井抽运地下水，居民面临水源枯竭、人身安全受威胁和农田污染风险。锡斯基尤县2022年民事大陪审团报告估计当地有5,000个大型非法种植点；较近的报道估计，仅 Mount Shasta Vista 一个分区就可能有7,000名非法种植者，年产值最高可达20亿美元。锡斯基尤县警长办公室的数据显示，仅2025年，该县就铲除逾332,000株非法大麻、查获逾54,000磅加工大麻。
这封信特别对华人有组织犯罪网络表达严重关切，称其可能在出资并操控其中一部分种植活动。调查人员发现，不少被查种植地产的业主住在县外，现场管理者本人并无产权，这种模式与加州其他地方破获的外国资金种植计划吻合；信中并援引2018年沙加缅度地区的联邦调查——一个由来自中国福建省的电汇出资、利用人头购地的有组织大麻贩运网络，最终导致100多处房产被民事没收。据当地媒体报道，锡斯基尤县警长 Jeremiah LaRue 曾表示，其下属在 Mount Shasta Vista 遇到的种植者约六成为中国公民、约四成为苗族。
另一个被点名的威胁是剧毒农药的滥用：锡斯基尤县调查人员在非法种植点发现27种以上农药成分，包括美国禁用的化学品和带有中文标签、疑为非法进口的产品，其中一些在密闭建筑内燃烧时会释放有毒烟雾，危及第一响应人员 并污染水源。锡斯基尤县议会已于2025年7月1日就此宣布地方紧急状态，联邦环保署第九区随后要求调查非法农药的进口与分销。
Gallagher 在信中提出三项要求：FBI 沙加缅度外地办公室与雷丁驻地机构与两县警长及 HSI 协作，追查出资和经营种植点的犯罪组织及其可能的外国联系；与环保署第九区协调非法农药调查；并向国会汇报 FBI 在北加的现有行动、指出还需哪些资源、授权或经费。Gallagher 表示：「我们不能袖手旁观，看着这些罪犯毒害我们的水源、毁坏我们的土地、威胁乡村家庭的安全。」
锡斯基尤县警长 Jeremiah LaRue 在声明中称，过去五年其机构已逮捕800多人、铲除逾200万株受污染的大麻植株，但如果没有州和联邦机构的更广泛支援，这一破坏性产业仍可有恃无恐地蔓延；他批评加州州政府对数十亿美元的大麻黑市「一再视而不见」。沙斯塔县警长 Michael L. Johnson 亦发表声明支持与 FBI 合作。截至发稿，FBI 尚未就此信作出公开回应。
Illegal Marijuana Grows Overrun Northern California: Congressman Asks FBI to Investigate Transnational Networks as Siskiyou County Eradicates 332,000 Plants in a Year
The office of U.S. Representative James Gallagher (CA-01) announced that on October 19, 2026, Gallagher wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel urging a coordinated federal investigation into the transnational criminal organizations operating thousands of illegal marijuana grows across Siskiyou and Shasta Counties in Northern California, asking the FBI to work directly with local sheriffs, Homeland Security Investigations and EPA Region 9.
Illegal cultivation has expanded across rural Northern California, where entire properties are covered with rows of plastic-covered hoop houses drawing on hauled groundwater, leaving residents facing depleted water supplies, safety threats and contamination risks. A 2022 Siskiyou County Civil Grand Jury report estimated 5,000 large-scale illegal cultivation sites, while more recent reporting suggests up to 7,000 illegal growers in the Mount Shasta Vista subdivision alone, potentially producing up to $2 billion annually. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office reported eradicating more than 332,000 illegal plants and seizing over 54,000 pounds of processed marijuana in 2025 alone.
The letter raises serious concerns that Chinese organized-crime networks may be financing and directing portions of these operations. Investigators have identified cultivation properties owned by individuals outside the county, while on-site managers often hold no ownership interest, patterns consistent with foreign-financed schemes uncovered elsewhere in California; the letter cites a 2018 federal investigation in the Sacramento region that revealed a marijuana trafficking network funded by wire transfers from China's Fujian Province and straw purchasers, resulting in civil forfeiture actions against more than 100 properties. According to local reporting, Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue has said roughly 60 percent of the growers his deputies encounter at Mount Shasta Vista are Chinese nationals and about 40 percent are Hmong.
The letter also flags highly toxic pesticides: county investigators have identified more than 27 pesticide compounds at grow sites, including chemicals banned in the United States and products bearing Chinese-language labels suspected of being illegally imported. The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency on July 1, 2025, and EPA Region 9 has directed an investigation into illegal pesticide importation and distribution. Sheriff LaRue said his agency has made over 800 arrests and eradicated over 2 million contaminated marijuana plants in five years, and criticized the State of California for repeatedly turning a blind eye to the multibillion-dollar black market. The FBI has not publicly responded to the letter.
