Trump Administration Refusing To Return Seized New Mexico Marijuana, Suit Says
The Trump administration is refusing to return more than $1 million of marijuana seized from state-licensed New Mexico cannabis companies at interior Border Patrol checkpoints over the past year.
That’s the claim made in a lawsuit recently refiled in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico.
Originally filed in October, the lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Customs and Border Protection Agency was refiled by eight state-licensed companies on Feb. 14, court records show.
The eight plaintiffs are:
- Mesilla Valley Extracts, a licensed manufacturer in Las Cruces.
- Royal Cannabis, a licensed vertically integrated company that does business as Baked Chicken Farm. Baked Chicken operates a large-scale cultivation facility in a former poultry operation in Berino, near the Texas border.
- Super Farm, which does business as Smokey Road Farms and is a vertically integrated licensee in La Mesa.
- Impact Farms, a microbusiness licensee in Albuquerque.
- Chadcor Holdings NM, which operates as Top Crop Cannabis and is a vertically integrated licensee in Las Cruces.
- Mylars, a licensed manufacturer and distributor in Las Cruces.
- Rollin Love, a licensed retailer in Golondrinas.
- Desert Peaks Farms, a licensed cultivator in Mesilla Park.
