    Tonight a major policy shift from California state attorney general Rob Bonta.

  • 2

    Announcing he'll now be pursuing the eradication of illegal marijuana grows year round.

  • 3

    With an emphasis on investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases and bringing justice to victims.

  • 4

    It's a reflection Bonta says of the new realities his office is confronting. - Right now the illicit marketplace is bigger than the regulated marketplace.

  • 5

    We are hearing from our local law enforcement partners, and our own intelligence tells us that human trafficking is a significant part of the illicit marketplace for cannabis in California.

  • 6

    Sheriff's Department search warrant! - And that's exactly what we've seen firsthand. NBC News met nine Chinese workers during a raid of an illegal cannabis farm in San Bernardino California who by all indications were trafficking victims.

  • 7

    Despite they say being promised a lucrative opportunity, they told us they'd not been paid, and were living in squalor.

  • 8

    The person or people who brought you here, did they tell you the truth about what you were coming to do? - No, they didn't tell me that.

  • 9

    If they told her it would be like this she wouldn't have come? - As you know it's extraordinarily difficult to get victims of human trafficking to come forward.

  • 10

    Is this policy change going to help victims of human trafficking who are exploited at marijuana grows to come forward?

  • 11

    Absolutely, it's a focal point of our new initiative, we know how to support victims, how to liberate them from their abusers, how to provide them with justice.

  • 12

    This more sophisticated approach which will also target environmental crime at grow sites, aims to open investigations to take down the international crim middle organizations responsible.

  • 13

    These illicit cannabis grows often do have a transnational component, whether it be of Chinese influence or other countries.

  • 14

    But the challenge of getting victims to cooperate remains. - I wonder if you have a message to the victims of human trafficking who we met in San Bernardino who were afraid to come forward.

  • 15

    That's simple, we care about you, we support you, the human traffickers who violated the law, and committed crimes, and abused you, and turned you into victims that they're how to held accountable and brought to justice under the full extent of the law and the full authority of my office.

    今晚,加州总检察长罗布·邦塔做出了重大政策调整。

  • 2

    宣布他将致力于全年根除非法大麻种植。

  • 3

    重点是调查和起诉人口贩运案件,并为受害者伸张正义。

  • 4

    邦塔说,这反映了他的办公室所面临的新现实。 - 现在非法市场比正规市场更庞大。

  • 5

    我们从当地执法伙伴那里得到消息,还有我们自己的情报告诉我们,人口贩运是加州大麻非法市场的重要组成部分。

  • 6

    警察局的搜查令! - 这正是我们亲眼所见,NBC新闻看到了9名中国工人,他们在加州圣贝纳迪诺的一个非法大麻农场遭遇突然搜查,所有迹象都表明他们是人口贩卖的受害者。

  • 7

    尽管他们说他们被承诺有一个能赚钱的机会,但他们告诉我们他们没有得到报酬,而且生活在肮脏的环境中。

  • 8

    带你来这里的人,他们告诉你你要去干什么了吗? - 不,他们没告诉我。

  • 9

    如果他们告诉她会是这样,她就不会来了? - 如你所知,让人口贩卖的受害者站出来是非常困难的。

  • 10

    这一政策变化会帮助在大麻种植中被剥削的人口贩运受害者主动站出来吗?

  • 11

    当然,这是我们新倡议的焦点,我们知道如何支持受害者,如何将他们从施虐者手中解放出来,如何为他们伸张正义。

  • 12

    这一更加复杂的方法也将针对种植场所的环境犯罪,旨在展开调查,打击国际犯罪中介组织。

  • 13

    这些非法大麻种植往往具有跨国成分,无论是受中国还是其他国家的影响。

  • 14

    但让受害者合作的挑战仍然存在。 - 我想知道你是否有话要对那些受害者说,就是我们在圣贝纳迪诺遇到的那些不敢站出来的人口贩卖受害者。

  • 15

    很简单,我们关心你,我们支持你,这些人贩子违反了法律,犯下了罪行,虐待你,把你变成了受害者,他们将在法律的最大限度和我办公室的全部权力下被追究责任并绳之以法。
