Federal agents: They came, they searched, they left -- but not before filing documents at the county courthouse that may allow them to seize about 2,000 acres in Humboldt and Mendocino counties. Federal and local law enforcement confirmed that the land was the target of the raids conducted last week in a massive show of force -- 450 agents -- primarily in rural southern Humboldt with the exception of a house in Arcata and a property in McKinleyville.
