WASHINGTON—U.S. law enforcement agencies seized over 100 homes in the Sacramento, California area this week in what the U.S. Justice Department said was part of a sweeping crackdown on a criminal marijuana-growing operation funded by China-based criminal groups.
In a two-day sweep that started on April 3, the Justice Department said hundreds of federal agents and local police executed search warrants at about 74 homes and two business offices believed to be used for marijuana-growing operations.
