In this exclusive clip from the upcoming three-part Vanguard special, "War On the Border," correspondent Adam Yamaguchi embeds with an elite task force that targets Mexican drug trafficking organizations growing marijuana in the United States.

California has become one of the leading producers of marijuana in the world -- most of it produced by Mexican drug trafficking organizations. And the proceeds from marijuana have become the cash cow for traffickers, generating greater profits than cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin combined.

In the second part of "War On the Border," Adam Yamaguchi embeds with a task force working to take down Mexican drug trafficking organizations operating in the US.

"War On the Border" premieres on Current TV on Monday, November 15 at 9/8c.

"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Mondays at 9/8c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
