in new mexico, lin linked up with dineh benally, a former civil engineer and navajo farm official, benally claimed he had the authority to issue hemp permits. a questionable assertion at best, it was still enough to get the farms up and running. but red flags were quickly raised. you just see these massive operations, huge greenhouses, filling up entire plots of land, gates locked, you see cars coming and going at all times of night, most of them with foreign plates. it was very evident something very strange was going on in this community. 25 year old brandon billie worked for benally as a security guard. there were no jobs, people couldn t go out of the reservation to go to work.
