Corrupt U.S. Government official operating illegally with Mexican Drug Cartels for profit
By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter. Sept 19, 2009 2:00 PM PDT
As an ICE official he invested cash in global drug deals endangered the lives of U.S. and Mexican law enforcement by selling secret U.S. Government information to Mexican Drug Cartels (MDC’s) and ran huge cocaine shipments to Spain via US ports. Feds say he joined cartel full time after he retired from ICE.
Richard Padilla Cramer, a 26-year veteran of the U.S. anti-drug complex was arrested by DEA agents last month and is behind bars in Florida awaiting the results of a Federal Grand Jury investigation. Cramer was arrested and jailed after U.S. Government officials accused him of directing a massive cocaine shipment to Spain via the United States, and selling vital information in law enforcement databases to a vicious Mexican Drug Cartel.
Cramer, as a high-ranking U.S. anti-drug official, held front-line posts both in the United States and in Mexico in regards to the War on Drugs. Cramer sometime later was investing in drugs and trafficking as a full partner in Mexico’s murderous drug cartels. According to records made available to the Laguna Journal, he led an office of two dozen agents in Arizona and others as the attaché officer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Guadalajara Mexico and worked with the U.S. Mexican Embassy in Mexico City and U.S. Consulate offices in Guadalajara and other Mexican cities.
According to documents obtained by this writer while employed as a high ranking U.S. law enforcement agent in Mexico, Cramer was also allegedly operating illegally by serving as a sort of secret agent and a full blown business partner of some of Mexico’s richest and most blood thirsty drug lords. According to federal investigators he was operating as a key Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent who operated freely moving back and forth from Mexico to the U.S. He was allegedly “a secret ally of drug lords,” reported the L.A. Times.
A Mexican Drug Cartel boss “convinced Cramer to retire … and start working directly for (him) in drug trafficking and money laundering,” the complaint says. Cramer continued to sell secret documents that he obtained from active U.S. agents. This is a troubling aspect of the case still being investigated, the official said.
The charges underscore the corruptive might of the cartels, which have bought off Mexican politicians, police chiefs and military commandos. Drug lords have reached across the border with increasing ease, corrupting U.S. border inspectors and agents to help smuggle cocaine north. In 2006, the FBI chief in El Paso was convicted of charges related to having concealed his friendship with an alleged Mexican drug kingpin.
Cramer stands out because his rank and foreign post made his work especially sensitive, officials said. Stunned colleagues described him as a well-regarded investigator who spoke fluent Spanish and operated skillfully in the array of U.S. and Mexican agencies at the border when he ran the ICE office in the action-packed border zone of Nogales, Ariz., his hometown.
“It came as a complete shock,” said Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada in a telephone interview. “I have been in law enforcement at the border 42 years and I have seen some weird things, but I have never stopped to be surprised. You have to be watchful and mindful. The cartels have touched local, state and federal agencies.”
Estrada worked with Cramer at the Nogales police in 1979, and encountered him periodically as Cramer rose through the federal ranks.
About five months ago, Cramer showed up at the sheriff’s office in the small county on the border, Estrada said. He applied for a job as a county detention officer, which pays about ,000 a year, Estrada said. In contrast, Cramer’s federal rank probably commanded a salary of between 0,000 and 0,000, plus benefits, officials say.

Estrada, surprised, told Cramer that working as a jail guard would be “quite a drop,” the sheriff recalled.
“He said he wanted to keep being active, go back to his roots, keep busy,” Estrada said. “So we place him through … polygraph, background checks. We didn’t find anything suspicious.”
“The suspected criminal activity that Cramer has really been charged with occurred in 2007 while he was working as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Guadalajara, Mexico, according to a sealed criminal complaint issued on Aug. 28 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami,” noted the Arizona Star.
“Cramer’s duties as the ICE attache in Guadalajara included serving as a liaison with Mexican police,” the paper noted. “But the investigation revealed that he worked for ‘a very high-level drug lord,’ the federal official said. In a dark twist on the trend of former federal officials going into private consulting, the government veteran became a full-time adviser to traffickers after retiring from ICE in January 2007, Court documents reveal.”
Cramer allegedly advised traffickers on law enforcement tactics and pulled secret files to help them identify turncoats. He charged ,000 for a Drug Enforcement Administration document that was sent to a suspect in Miami by e-mail in August, authorities say.
“Cramer was responsible for advising the (drug traffickers) how U.S. law enforcement works with warrants and record checks as well as how DEA conducts investigations to include ‘flipping subjects,’” or recruiting informants, according to a criminal complaint filed by a DEA agent.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in Miami said Wednesday that she could not comment, but said that cases begun with complaints usually go before grand juries.
Arizona-based Green valley News and Sun added: “He is accused of negotiating cocaine shipments from Panama to Spain while he was working for ICE out of the Guadalajara office, according to the criminal complaint filed.“ The complaint also says Cramer and the smuggling organization invested about 0,000 in a 660-pound shipment of cocaine. The cocaine was shipped from Panama and went through the U.S. en route to Spain, where it was seized in June 2007.”
The U.S. government information he allegedly sold to the MDC’s “allegedly helped the Mexican drug lord conduct an internal hunt for [...] informants and so called turn coats and could have led to murders of U.S. informants and whose families were to be kidnapped in retaliation, one government official said who insisted on remaining anonymous.
The paper added: “Negotiations broke down between Cramer and the head of the trafficking organization that was looking for someone to blame for the losses in Spain. A fourth informant finally approached American law enforcement and told them he spoke with Cramer on a push-to-talk phone.
Mexican Drug Cartels and other drug traffickers use the Direct Connect for immediate communications that is offered by push-to-talk devices. The push to talk keyboard gives the MDC’s a better way to instantly communicate with friends, family and colleagues,” By combining Nextel Direct Connect with text messaging, Sprint customers have two of the most efficient ways to get business done wirelessly.”
The Java nabled Motorola Clutch i465 meets Military Specification 810F for low pressure, high and low temperatures, dust, shock, vibration and even solar radiation, featuring VGA camera, 1.8-inch screen with 128 x 160 pixels resolution, GPS, Bluetooth, and Group Messaging that allows for instant text communications with a large group of up to 20 people.
“Motorola Clutch was designed to give serious texters and talkers multiple ways to get the word out,” said Rick Gadd, vice president for Motorola Mobile Devices. “With a full QWERTY keyboard featuring shortcut keys, IM-style texting and push-to-talk technology which works like a verbal IM, Sprint customers are able to keep in constant contact, no matter how they prefer to communicate.”
While Cramer trained at a state law enforcement academy in Tucson with considerably younger cadets, a delicate DEA investigation of a Mexican drug ring active in Miami accelerated after more than two years in the making.
Working with four informants, agents had run across evidence implicating Cramer in corruption, the complaint says. In 2007, a cartel informant showed agents documents — four from the DEA database, one from ICE, two from the state of California — supplied by an American in Mexico named “Richard,” according to the complaint.
Agents identified the American as Cramer.
On Aug. 19, the DEA arrested Cramer at his house in a gated community in Sahuarita.”
On Sept. 4, Cramer was extradited to Florida from Arizona to face drug trafficking charges, where he currently awaits trial.

Mukasey. “The scope of the threat demands a deliberate and sustained response and the success we had, like takedowns announced today, is due to the combined efforts of federal, state, local and international law enforcement. Although I am satisfied with the efforts made so far, we can not and will not rest on these successes. The threat posed by international drug cartels is too fantastic.

The Mexican drug cartels murdering U.S. informants on American soil
Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter July 28, 2009 11:00 am PDT
El Paso, Texas – Mexican drug cartel known member Jose Daniel Gonzalez was killed on American soil in El Paso, Texas. Gonzalez, police said acted as an informant for U. S. Government provide vital information on the family of Mexican drug cartel. There are modes of operation, the drug routes and privileged information known to the senior members of the cartel. Evan if Gonzalez was an active informant was under American protection agencies of law enforcement of powerful Mexican drug cartels were still able to attack and kill Gonzalez.
According to Alicia A. Caldwell with the APNewsBreak reported today that the eight bullets that killed outside his home Gonzalez just doors from the main house of the city of El Paso police. The rain of automatic gun fire was shot at close range and left small doubt about its message. Gonzalez, a Juarez cartel lieutenant shot his cul-de-sac stage this spring, come to light. According to reports Gonzalez has done work for U.S. officials as a confidential informant.Sources close to the investigation told the Laguna Journal. This can be justified in the first murder carried out by the Mexican cartel hit men although there have been other alleged murders in Phoenix, New York and other parts of the States. The federal government suspects that his murder is the first time that the killers of a drug gang violence in Mexico killed a ranking cartel member on American soil.
Report Caldwell said experts told him that murder is a growing boldness of the posters on this side of the border that will likely lead to more deaths. “They shot him near,” said Police Chief Greg Allen. “Whoever he wanted to make sure you knew it was revenge.”Alerts sent to the police last year warned that Mexican drug lords, including the head of the Sinaloa cartel, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, has publicly given permission to hit men across the border in search of goals.
“There is a growing number of (cartel) leaders living in the United States, probably to escape the law or their enemies in Mexico, making it one of the risks increased in In recent years, “said Stephen Meiners, an analyst for Latin America tactic by Stratfor, a global intelligence company based in Austin, Texas. “There is a possibility that this could get out of hand,” he said. Shannon O’Neil, a Latin America expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, said he knows of no other high-level assassinations in the United States, but fears that it will not the last. “We started to look more boldly near the border on the Mexican side and American side,” said O’Neil. “Once these organizations firmly established in Mexico and the United States, will kill all levels.” Gonzalez, a legal immigrant of 37 years who lived with his family in a deadlock in an expensive neighborhood, was killed May 15, 2009 in front of his spacious house. His wife, Adriana Solis, and the couple’s two children shortly after they fled. Two federal agents and a local official told The Associated Press that Gonzalez was the presentation of information on the activities of cartels The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which in recent years has taken a more large cross-border investigations of drug trafficking. An official said that federal investigators monitored the activities of Gonzalez and his whereabouts. The officials spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. In a statement sent to the AP, ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said, “ICE’s policy is to discuss and review issues relating to confidential informants.” Cartel gunmen affiliated with the violence, and fatally, disciplined low-level drug traffickers based in the U.S. United States, but, El Paso police said Gonzalez was a lieutenant of the Juarez Cartel, which traffics marijuana, cocaine and heroin. The poster was one of the most perilous in Mexico, but has recently lost some standing because of arrests, deaths and infighting. Los Angeles Times reports that El Paso police have not yet official reason for the murder of Gonzalez, but the chief Allen said detectives are working on the assumption that a colleague found that the cartel it was to discuss illegal activities with federal agents. Allen, who lives behind the house and heard the firing of Gonzalez’s court, told the AP that he and other local authorities knew Gonzalez was involved with drugs in the past, but had no thought that was both a gangster and informant ranking Mexican federal government. He is mad, not a single case was reported that his department must now solve a local murder is considered. cooperation as crucial to the success of federal and state agencies that fill El Paso, one of the largest in the country, border towns and a major inland port. The week after the murder during a tense meeting of a multi-agency group called High Intensity Drug Trafficking, Allen said he told federal authorities that their cooperation in the future depends of them to keep their information department of their business. “How can that happen in your neighborhood?” Said Allen told those present. The bullets that killed Gonzalez were fired at close range so that three could have traveled through his body and lodged in the stucco wall of a neighbor and a parked car. A bloodstain still marked the street where neighbors sat down to watch the children play. Now, in addition to Allen, the people living in the neighborhood of Rancho del Sol are too frightened to speak publicly about Gonzalez and his familyAldo Valderrabano lives around the second home of Gonzalez, 1800 low. – square two-tale house used to live in a small over a mile away. Gonzalez said the family went to the 5000, 3300 square foot house that appears in the name of Solis, a few months after he mysteriously lost three fingers last year.
Solis Valderrábano wife visited the hospital and said Solis would only say that the fingers were lost “in an accident.” She had no other apparent injuries. The family has not been seen since the shooting, although Police spokesman El Paso, Javier Sambrano said investigators are in contact with them. He said Solis and her children are left in an unknown place, “a movement that has its own”. Gonzalez appears in commercial records only contact the new King (“King of New” in Spanish) transport company, which shares an address with your home. Federal Express packages the company has continued to rise on the porch of Gonzalez for several weeks after the shooting. Records show the company has annual sales of about 000. It also appears that the only contact address for Gonzalez Auto Parts, letters and colors and care Transport Gonzalez. Neighbors said they saw no evidence of any activity related to these companies at home. Valderrabano said Solis told him that the family was from Villa Ahumada, Mexico, a small town south of Ciudad Juarez has been virtually taken over by the fighters of the cartel in recent months. Gonzalez said a family food stand in Ciudad Juarez, a city of about 1.1 million adjacent to El Paso and is now occupied by the Mexican army in the government’s fight against the drug gangs. But, while in El Paso, Valderrabano said, Gonzalez and his family were very nice. . Children in families often played together“They were very silent, we had no problems with them,” said Valderrábano

Mexican Drug Cartels Using Terrorist Beheading Tactics
By Michael Webster: Investigative reporter April 20, 2008 10:30 PM PDT
Mexican Drug cartels are ordering decapitations blind folding and hooding victims before they shoot them. The Cartels are sending a chilling message to the Mexican President Felipe Calderon Administration by adopting methods of intimidation made notorious by Middle Eastern terrorist groups. New Terrorist Bases South Of The Border
At least 40 people have been decapitated in Mexico so far this year, with heads stuck on fence posts, found in trash bags and heads being tossed onto a nightclub dance floor for all to see. Mexican drug cartels and terrorist are recruiting for more fighters to train as soldiers
The Felipe Calderon Administration has said the wave of bloodshed knows no politics; it is ravaging state governments controlled by each of Mexico’s three major parties. He singled out Mexico City and the northern states as being especially hard-hit.
“It seems to me that drug violence has overwhelmed the governments of the PAN, the PRI and the PRD,” Calderon said in a radio interview.
He says murder and mayhem fueled by drug smuggling have overwhelmed the governments of the nation’s capital and key states across the country.
The PAN is the ruling National Action Party, while the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, controlled Mexico’s presidency from 1929 until losing to President Vicente Fox in 2000. In the July 2 presidential election, Calderon, of National Action, barely beat leftist former Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the PRD, or Democratic Revolution Party.
Calderon called for legislative and law-enforcement efforts to curb drug violence across party lines “in a very coordinated way.”
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City has long expressed concern about the growing wave of violence along the northern border, where people are gunned down with automatic weapons nearly daily, and dozens of Americans have been kidnapped held for ransom and some killed. Americans Being Kidnapped, Held and killed in Mexico
]]>
Authorities say more than 3,500 people have died in Mexican drug violence in the last year.
Narcotics investigators on both sides of the border attribute the spike in killings to a territorial war between drug gangs battling for control of lucrative smuggling corridors into the United States.
But U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza recently extended warnings to say Americans should use extreme caution when traveling anywhere in Mexico.
“The bottom line is that we simply cannot allow drug traffickers to place in jeopardy the lives of our citizens and the safety of our communities,” Garza said in a statement Sept. 14.
Drug related killings in Mexico that have included beheadings which have occurred in Guerrero, home to the Pacific resort of Acapulco, Tijuana, Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and in Calderon’s native Michoacan state, in central Mexico west of the capital.
Masked gunmen burst into a seedy nightclub in the Michoacan city of Uruapan, fired guns in the air and rolled five severed human heads onto the dance floor.
The gunmen left scrawled notes on pieces of cardboard, a tactic that has suddenly become common in Michoacan and elsewhere. The notes made reference to “the Family,” while other beheadings in Acapulco and elsewhere have referenced the letter “Z,” suggesting the involvement of “Las Zetas,” a group of former elite Mexican soldiers now working as hit men for the Gulf drug cartel. They’re known as “Los Zetas
On Tuesday, police recovered the body of a man who had been shot 24 times with machine guns in the Michoacan city of Turicato. Messages had been attached to the unidentified, 35-year-ancient victim’s body, including “Anti Z” and “greetings, Z family. This is for the traitors to their country,” the government news agency Notimex reported.
Investigators say Michoacan is a base for powerful cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine smugglers with ties to some of the countries largest and most-violent drug gangs.
The U.S. and Mexican border cities have jumped in gang-related killings since the beginning of the year. The Mexican government has described the violence as revenge for President Felipe Calderón’s year-ancient crackdown on organized crime that sent thousands of soldiers and federal police into violence-plagued Mexican cities bordering the United States.
The government reports that Mexican drug cartels and gangs operating along the Southwest border are more sophisticated and perilous than any other organized criminal enterprise. The Mexican cartels, and the smuggling rings and gangs they leverage, wield substantial control over the routes into the United States and pose substantial challenges to U.S. law enforcement to secure the Southwest border. The cartels operate along the border with military grade weapons, technology and intelligence and their own respective paramilitary enforcers.
Recently Mexican troops where sent to CD. Juarez Mexico across from El Paso Texas to stop the drug related violence. This latest Mexican troop movement places more than 30,000 Mexican troops combating the Mexican cartels throughout the country. This operation, dubbed Operación Conjunta Chihuahua, by the Mexican army is expected to provoke a violent response from Mexican drug cartels, officials said.

Americans sweep the charges against Mexican drug cartels: But, few in custody
Areas Mexican drug cartels influence
According to federal figures typical of massive coordinated actions only produced eight defendants arrested in the areas of Chicago and Atlanta last week. Earlier this year, according to reports, another 10 children accused of level, all email clients or organizations have been charged separately in Chicago. Five defendants, all of New York, wholesale distributors or logistics coordinators posters, have been charged separately in Brooklyn. None of the heads of Mexican drug cartels have been arrested as a result of these accusations. In total, 58 people were charged in the investigation coordinated between the attorneys U. S. in Brooklyn and Chicago, but few have stopped.
All but one of the defendants face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted of the charges against them. The sealed indictments seek the forfeiture together more than $ 0.8 million of income for drugs. In addition, more than 32500 kg of cocaine were seized, including about 3,000 pounds seized during the investigation of Chicago, about 7500 kg seized in the investigation of New York and 22500 kg were seized prior related activities of the Federation. attacks details as charges of 64 kg of heroin and more than $ 0.6 million in cash during the investigation. In one of the sealed indictments in Brooklyn, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes is accused of being the leader of the violent Juarez cartel, which operates in the Juarez-El Paso corridor, a major drug smuggling routes to the Mexican border along U. S. in the southern United States. The DEA estimates that about 90 percent of the cocaine entering the United States through Mexico. The Juarez cartel would have received several tons of cocaine into Mexico from the Colombian cartels and the Norte del Valle Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a Colombian paramilitary organization and drug trafficking. Prosecutors said the Juarez cartel maintains its power through corruption and by numerous terrorist acts, including kidnappings and murders. Three of the alleged leaders were charged in both Brooklyn and Chicago. Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia and Arturo Beltran Leyva, who is apparently one of the drug traffickers in Mexico’s most powerful, it is argued that current and former leaders of a union of organized crime known as “Sinaloa Cartel” and “Federation.” Each of these is designated as a priority or CPOT organization established by the Working Group organized crime drug enforcement (OCDETF). Overall, the Brooklyn four-and eight indictments charged in Chicago, between 1990 and December 2008, Guzman Loera, Ismael Zambada Garcia, Arturo Beltran Leyva and others were responsible for importing the U.S. and distribution of about 200 metric tons of cocaine, larger quantities of heroin, and smuggling of bulk U.S. to Mexico more than $ 0.8 million in cash receipts from the sale of narcotics in the United States and Canada.“The charges announced today are the result of a radical effort to stop domestic and international traffic of drugs through the states of Mexico / United States and in our communities “said J. Benton Campbell, U. S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “We will apply all available resources to win this battle.” Mr. Campbell expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the Working Group of the ICE DEA in New York agencies to research the Eastern District, and the help provided by the ICE and DEA in Miami , Houston, Mexico and Colombia.
“These allegations are some of the most vital charges of drug conspiracy never came back to Chicago,” said Patrick J.

Mexican drug cartels out of control in the United States and Mexico
Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter August 3, 2008 1: oo am PDT
For years
U.S. Federal authorities have indicated that Mexican cartels are operating drug in dozens of American cities, and consolidated their control over the entire corridor of the supply chain of illicit drugs in depth northern Mexico to the U.S. border and beyond.
Nationally, Mexican drug cartels are now the dominant distributors of wholesale quantities of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and marijuana in the United States. No other group is in a better position to expand the operation throughout the country and take full control of drug distribution in the southern part of the country as well, as are the Mexican drug cartels as they do now in the south-west.
Mexican drug cartels through their separate organizations control the lucrative methamphetamine trade, as the arrival of pure ice methamphetamine in Mexico has replaced local production methods of powder, according to the Department of Justice United States .
Glen Beck of the well loved series of the same name, said: “Atlanta has become the latest battleground for Mexican drug cartels.”
“The thought is to control the whole economic process of production and distribution,” said Georgina Sanchez, an independent consultant in security in Mexico and executive director of an institute of public security policy .
In many parts of the United States, the cartels have established partnerships with local gangs, in others they have directly assumed control of local drug distribution, analysts say.
According to Beck, “The Mexican side of the border is essentially a war zone with the struggle of the Mexican government, lose, or sometimes in collusion with the heavily armed drug cartels. No we’ll see about this in the media. And for some reason, this is simply not an issue. “
Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora says cartels have penetrated deep into the police of the city. (Eduardo Verdugo – AP)
Gwinnett County, Georgia, where Atlanta is located more than 1000 km from our U.S. border – Mexico. They have already had nine drug-related kidnappings this year . in an incident that just happened a couple of weeks, the DEA agents raided a home and charged three men, all illegal aliens, kidnapping and conspiracy to distribute cocaine after have learned that they had bound and chained the victim to a wall in a cellar in the town of Lilburn and beat him for nearly a week in an effort to collect drug debts in 0000.
“Violence in the cities [U.S.] has a direct cause and effect in relation to what is happening in Mexico,” said Fred Burton, vice president of against-terrorism Stratfor, a company Austin-based private intelligence.
“The further north you go the border, the less you know,” said Burton, who is a member of the Security Council on the border of Texas, which focuses on national security and economic development along Texas-Mexico border.
major concern for local groups of law enforcement is that the cartels bring with them violent methods perfected during furious cartel wars in Mexico that have left thousands dead since 2006. In recent years, Mexican drug violence has reached new heights, with beheadings, videotaped executions broadcast on the Internet, attacks and assassinations of senior Mexican law.
Beck said: “There is no excellent in this tale, except the people who are at the forefront, as Rodney Benson is special agent in charge of the Atlanta Field Division of DEA .. “
Program extracts
Beck questions, “. Will we start, I missed this guy who was chained to the wall Tell me more about this “
” He was a drug dealer on the East Coast, and been reduced to a diagram to download and view the Mexican suppliers here in Atlanta.
And when he went to a law in the metropolitan area, which was lying on a garage, where seven armed men took him, took essentially the beat, the took him to the cellar of the house where he was chained to the floor unfinished. And his hands were cuffed. they took rolls of adhesive tape and basically his whole face, nose, nearly everything was covered with tape.
And in the course of a week, we realized that. And what I finished up doing, Glenn, through a number of different means of investigation, we found the house where he was held for this individual. And what we did was we conducted a rescue operation. And that person, when we found he was chained in the basement, severely dehydrated and was beaten too .. And that saved his life, “said Benson
BECK:. It’s right that some of these people are kidnapped in Atlanta as young as 16? The kidnappers
Benson: We’re seeing younger individuals being developed by the leaders of the Mexican cartel in the United States to work for these cartels. Google or click on: Mexican drug cartels infiltrating colleges and high schools in the UNITED STATES
BECK: Well, there are two people who have some credibility on this issue. There is d.Ä. Gwinnett says there is a temporary problem. This is vital in what happens here. U. S. Attorney for the northern part of Georgia said, we are about to see the extreme violence that is happening south of the border happen here in the United States .
“Not many people, because no one really talked about in the media, according to Beck Google or click on:. Girl raped and beheaded in Florida by Mexican traffickers
we see. The south of the border, the violence is off the charts. It is more violent than what is in Baghdad or Afghanistan. People who are beheading, Benson said.
Beck, do you reckon is the kind of thing happens if we do nothing and pay attention to this br />
What we do, Glenn, you are aggressively attacking the problem. It is clear that Mexican trafficking organizations are the dominant force that we face here in the metropolitan area. They are responsible for most of the cocaine and methamphetamine and marijuana and black tar heroin that is distributed here
come here .. This flies in the East Coast
We are facing a very – is a challenge for us. Are becoming more sophisticated. They are absolutely armed to the teeth, weapons, AK-47 and others. According to Benson
BECK issue. And they are sent to this country because it is a large Hispanic community. Thus, these drug gangs are just a treat to mix with the Hispanic community? What is the reaction of the community? Are they standing? Or are you worried? Google or click on: Mexican drug cartels terror reaches deep into the American
It is not only in this county, Glenn. What we have is several counties of metropolitan Atlanta. Now we see also huge in North Carolina.
The community is reporting to the police. And that’s what we continue to do so. There is a steady stream of tips and leads that come into law enforcement that we are able to react and do not expect to stop anytime soon. Said Benson.
“The thought is to control the whole economic process of production and distribution,” said Georgina Sanchez, an independent consultant in security in Mexico and executive director of public safety Policy Institute
DEA agents say that the incursions
posters in the United States are responsible for more secondary crimes, such as shootings, kidnappings and assassinations.

John says that he took five of his best workers in recent years has helped to guide their business and they all went to a camp Zeta for 9 weeks of training. He said, “now earns much more money,” he started to say with this new training and Man is able to bring many more people and a lot of drugs in the United States through the Mexican border U. S.. He said that where ever paid U.S. $ 100 per person (illegal alien) and 500 mules (drug carrier) is now much more than that.
it says “that the weapons are used to ensure the success of the operation.” He said that “there are many dangers that I and my men facing the road, me and my men used guns to protect the group against rattlesnakes, and even bear attacks” 6.8 / 9 to 1 October second video -. influence on the track, but later admitted that the main reason to have guns to protect the drug, mostly drug gang competition occasionally meet with their opinion of many bands roaming. are looking for a quick and simple loading of the drug, but there is also competition drug gangs of the cartel who are also trained and try to take our burdens and want to operate on our territory. “But now we are much better prepared to deal with this and other threats that can deal with every trip. “I questioned, as long as U.S. law is that he and his men fire their weapons against them? He said it was unlikely to occur because the roads are not used on parole by U.S. authorities. Says this is possible because some people discharged by the Government U. S. paid by the Zetas to not be in the area at certain times during their operations. He said that “we take extra precautions to prevent this from happening.” “We have our own people along the route to I 8 and near the transfer point markers route miles. Observers place on earth, we glide high and ultra-light aircraft, the two communication equipment, radio and through mobile phones on. They are paid to see the authorities and intruders, such as gangs, perilous animals, American tourist, hikers, campers and all others who may be in the region. “

Many camps snow birds, play and recreate in and near the US perilous Mexican border in southern Arizona. As the birds glide south for the winter, the human inhabitants cold climates desire to escape colder climates for a life of leisure. Most are not aware of the many dangers they pose to the safety of Mexican traffickers. There are signs in many visitors to the Government the warning on the dangers to land my face, if merchants are perilous. Juan told me he is retiring, has a lot of money in the last two years and that will leave your business in one of agents younger associate expect to be paid to him in the coming years.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates that Los Zetas the organization of drug trafficking in Mexico the most perilous. Its members gained a reputation as a super-gangsters adept at paramilitary-style ambushes and escapes in bold.
On the border between Texas and Mexico the Zetas are mythic, their crimes reported in the media and reported in the narco-ballads.
They are the most feared, most emulated criminals in Mexico.
“This is a fantastic criminal organization” , said Anthony Placido, DEA chief of intelligence. “They are heavily armed with sniper rifles and .50 caliber ammunition, military rank heavy and light.”
“They are as fierce and as capable as a military force, as some believe the rumors are,” said Placido.
But, after the 2003 arrest of Gulf boss Osiel Cardenas Crime “the lion wised up and now controls the controller” as an observer.
The Zetas have become their own agreements. Its area of ??influence of the lower ranks of the Texas border, south along the Atlantic and Caribbean coastal states of Mexico, through Chiapas and Guatemala all the way in which South American cocaine transshipped to Mexico.
But, their base remains the charmless industrial border town in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, the border is the largest commercial crossing in Latin America -. and is the territory Zeta ??p> From 2004 to 2007, the Zetas have made war wilderness – including bazookas and grenade attacks -. against intruders and other Sinaloa cartel

Judge James Gray Orange County, California who has studied and worked with the drug problem for years, said “tens of billions of taxpayer dollars were spent on the war against drugs and calling the war against drugs has failed. ”
Depending on the time of the border longobserver Glen Spencer “A lot of people illegally enter the U.S. each day simply walking across our southern border unchallenged. In 1952 miles of the border in California Texas that use thousands of roads and paths, ever changing their routes to avoid the involvement of detecting cartels has brought greater organizational capacity of smuggling operations, and contrary to government claims that <-.!

There are new groups based on their own learning organizations to monitor the situation on our southern border, one of these groups call themselves “concerned citizens” I recently had the opportunity to visit this low-profile group that organized surveillance and listening to the Eastern Arizona Gila Bend messages on and near I-8 one of the roads in the United States they claim is a transfer point for illegal aliens and drug costs on the route marker that many jobs that support accusations of human rights and drugs entering the U.S. through the corridors of drug trafficking from Mexico.
According to the Concerned Citizens of Arizonawho want to alert the public at new citizen activist to help them observe and report the daily invasion across our southern border with Mexico.

Concerned Citizens report that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and harassment from other races, anarchists ethnocentric American people to believe that the border is under “operational control” Nothing could be further the truth, said an organizer with the new group of “concerned citizens” and has to take place. They hope to video tape and educate Americans about the real threat to our national security and public safety. Concerned Citizens have a complete sample of people blowing left and are enjoying our federal lands. These are people who come together to help AZ Governor Jan Brewer and the people of Arizona to call attention to the need for the National Guard to our southern border. The group is in favor of signing, Jan Brewer, SB 1070 and say they want to help educate the public. say, “It is time to bring back the” Minuteman lines like “

concerned citizens working I-8 and the future, thank you for supporting Arizona.
concerned citizens continue to do the job of the federal government will not do to secure the southern border of Phoenix along Interstate 8. What you have to do now is what should be done by Congress to bring the troops at the border.
The area south of Interstate 8 between Gila Bend (junction 85 and I-8) and Casa Grande (Junction I-8 and I-10) is a smuggling corridor ….. fight against drugs, weapons ….. We have seen it all. It is on a stretch of 60 miles, but not all, distance is active with smuggling. Traffic through the Tohono O’dham D-Day “reserve and night.The fact that the trucks use I-8 to enter this area, pick up their loads and leave the area which makes them vulnerable the detection of loading areas on I-8 is generally one of the following:. dirt roads, major washes and / or markers mile. mile markers was used “waypoints” for commercial vehicles, so that also makes them vulnerable to detection.
bottom line, if we had enough people “camping” in all points of the known active load I-8, which effectively able to stop this area down. A large amount of reconstruction was completed in this area so we know that this is possible …. just a matter of people who are quite dedicated.
This is a traffic drugs and high intensity is potentially very perilous for those involved to be prepared to defend tthemselves.Let t articles found in the smuggling routes up there by smugglers and cleaned up by concerned citizens.

Mexican drug cartels infiltrating Collages and High School Campus in the USA
Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter May 7, 2008, 14:00 AM PDT />
In a drug raid at the recent San Diego agents of the Federal University of the State Police and SDSU the culmination of a year investigating a drug trafficking throughout the campus and found to be more sophisticated more pervasive and more perilous and far-reaching than expected or have seen before. The arrests coincided with the first anniversary of the cocaine-related death of a freshman.
According to local press 96 suspects, including 75 SDSU students were arrested for drug trafficking as a result of the undercover operation, launched after Jenny Poliakoff, 19, was found dead in her off-campus apartment after a night of celebration.
One of the main suspects in the investigation of international drug is Omar Castaneda, a gang member from Pomona with ties to Mexican drug cartels of Tijuana, authorities said.
Castaneda, 36, was charged after being arrested in San Diego Superior Court on charges of possession of cocaine for sale. He is believed to be an vital link between drugs flowing into California from Tijuana and sales at SDSU and other California schools.
The violent Tijuana cartel, the drug also known as the Arellano Felix Organization (AFO) has a firm and deadly hold on all drug trafficking activities in Baja California and San Diego, California. Their reach controls drug smuggling in Sinaloa, Jalisco, Michoacan, Chiapas and Baja California, and has strong ties to San Diego, California. The AFO dispenses an estimate of dollars weekly in bribes to Mexican officials, police and Mexican army officers and maintains its own well-trained armed forces, paramilitary security. The DEA considers the AFO the signs that the most violent and aggressive of the border with Mexico. The profile of the DEA at the bottom of the AFO and its leaders.

The SDSU Police Department approached the DEA and the drug task force in the county for help Dec. 07, when it became clear that drug trafficking in schools was widespread and involved Mexican drug cartel members held gangs and crime and dread of scratching their ability to manage a potentially very complicated international drug trafficking investigation.
“We are in contact with different types of drugs,” said SDSU Police Chief John Browning. “If you’re serious about this, you have to go with someone who has the resources to do the next level.”
As the investigation unfolded, the campus address other drug-related deaths. An autopsy showed that Mesa College student Kurt Baker died Feb. 24 at an SDSU fraternity from oxycodone and alcohol poisoning.
“We know that drug use in college … But when you have an organization that is really based in a university, it is something really different, “said Garrison Courtney of the US Administration. Drug Enforcement.” I do not see. ”
Research indicates that lucrative university and high school campuses are fertile markets for drug traffickers. Mexican drug cartels have known this for years and is believed to have infiltrated many American campuses by members of the group’s shows. Federal authorities point to Mexican drug cartels that are responsible for border violence by having cemented ties to gangs and prison like Barrio Azteca on the U.S. side. Azteca and other U.S. groups on retail drugs they get from Mexican cartels and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks in the U.S., and produce most of the methamphetamine used north of the border. They even ignored the Colombians several times times to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and even Afghanistan. These same gangs often work as cartel surrogates or performance on the American side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas. Click on or Google: They are known as “Los Zetas have hired members of various gangs at different times, including El Paso gang Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, MS-13 and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to continue their efforts The criminal. the authorities on both sides of the border that many of these gang members and other substitutes for Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated powerful and operate openly in many American school campuses particularly in states bordering Mexico , including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and />
One suspect, Phi Kappa Psi member Michael Montoya, worked as a community service officer on campus and received a master’s in homeland security next month. Another student arrested for suspicion of possession of 500 grams of cocaine and two guns was a major in criminal justice.
Authorities identified 22 SDSU students as drug dealers who sold to undercover agents. At least 17 others allegedly supplied the drugs. The remaining suspects have bought or possession of illegal drugs.
According to authorities, students from seven fraternities were involved in the drug ring that operated openly across campus.
The tests showed that “most members were aware of organized drug dealing occurring fraternity houses,” officials said. Drug Agents confirmed that “there is a hierarchy in order to sell drugs for the money. “
According to authorities, Theta Chi fraternity as a center for the treatment of cocaine.
A trader called, Theta Chi member Kenneth Ciaccio, sent text messages to his “faithful customers” announcing that cocaine sales would be suspended for a weekend to come, as he and his “associates” is expected to Las Vegas, officials said.
The same message posted “sale” price of cocaine if transactions were completed before the dealers left San Diego.
Until yesterday, Ciaccio was featured on SDSU’s Web site promoting the Compact for Success program, which guarantees certain Sweetwater Union High School District for admission to the university if they maintain a B average
SDSU, Stephen Weber, the president said that even when campus police chose to seek help from other authorities, “it was clear we were going to end where we were today.”
Ramon Mosler, chief of the Narcotics Division of the Office of District Attorney of San Diego, California, said the research could have happened on any campus in the United States. Mosler joined his unit at the university, because he took the unusual step of asking for help.
“Often, governments do not want us to do these things, and that’s unfortunate,” Mosler said. “I reckon it’s vital to do this from time to time to wake people up. Educate everyone about the dangers of the drugs. ”
According to the search warrant affidavit, Thomas sold Watanapun 0 the value of the cocaine to undercover officers in a Lexus sedan registered to his father in Los Angeles.
According to authorities, some of the suspects made small effort to hide their activities.
Dealers “are not demanding that we sell,” said Mosler.
He was also accused Patrick Hawley, 20, was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and selling cocaine near the campus, authorities said.
According to a 2007 study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, nearly half of the nation of 5.4 million full-time college of drug abuse or student alcohol at least once a month.
Police officers in San Diego say street gangs here continue to have close links with organized crime groups in Tijuana. A gunman killed recently in an attack in Tijuana is supposed to belong to both a gang of Barrio Logan and the Arellano Felix Cartel. Reporter Amy Isackson said kpbs.
For years, Mexican drug trafficking groups have recruited U.S. gang members to do everything from drug smuggling to murder. Arellano Felix cartel in Tijuana and a gang of Barrio Logan in San Diego back to at least 15 years.
Many of the students enrolled in U.S. schools believes that many gang members are coming to the U.S. military and turning off services. Many are veterans who where encouraged to join the U.S. military for combat training of the Mexican cartels and gang leaders.
The confrontation with the cartels and the military police on a regular basis in Mexico and we expect these same tactics will soon bear fruit and enable them to confront the police U. S. in a much more professional, effective and perilous.
Richard Valdemar, a veteran of 30 years of Sheriff of Los Angeles County, travels the country lecturing and teaching police about military-gang members trained. Valdemar and other gang experts say gangs are encouraging members to join the military training to learn urban warfare and learn the latest weapons.
Current emphasis on military urban warfare plays in the street fighting mentality of gangs, experts say.
“When people come in the military are taught to use weapons, defensive tactics, and use many sophisticated techniques,” said Lara Quy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “They must return to the street with them. This is a legitimate concern for law enforcement. “
Valdemar cited the former sergeant in the Marine Camp Pendleton. Jesse Quintanilla as just one example of high profile. A <-! NextPage -> military court sentenced Quintanilla to death in 1996 for killing his head and injuring his commander in chief.
When interrogators questioned Quintanilla why he committed the crimes, Quintanilla said it was for “the Brown Brothers,” according to Valdemar. Quintanilla showed them a tattoo on the chest with the word “South” in reference to a band of California, according to court documents.
Recruit staff of the army in Washington, DC, dismissed the claims as urban myth. A military spokesman said army background checks are extensive gang members and the weeds.
The Arellano Felix Organization (AFO), often referred to as the Tijuana cartel, is one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations and the aggressive exploitation of drugs from Mexico, is probably the most violent. More than any other major trafficking organization from Mexico, the organization extends its tentacles directly from high numbers Echelon law enforcement and judicial systems in Mexico to street-level individuals in the cities of the United States. The AFO is responsible for transportation, importation and distribution of multiple tons of cocaine, marijuana and large quantities of heroin and methamphetamine in the United States from Mexico. The AFO operates primarily in the Mexican states of Sinaloa (their birth place), Jalisco, Michoacan, Chiapas and Baja California Sur and Norte.
In Baja California, the drugs enter California, the main point of embarkation in the distribution network in the United States.
Arellano family, composed of seven brothers and four sisters, inherited the organization from Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo in his incarceration in Mexico in 1989 for complicity in the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena special. Alberto Benjamin Arellano Felix took over the family structured criminal enterprise and offers a business approach for managing the operations of drug trafficking.

The Mexican drug cartels threaten U.S.
Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter May 26, 2008 2:00 p.m. PDT
While the wages of America’s war against drugs and terrorism, with costs to the taxpayers billions of organized crime gangs here in the United States were merged with the Mexican drug cartels, the threat to U.S. interests an international crime cartel that emerges is more serious every day.
Groups like the Sinaloa, Juarez, Tijuana, Gulf cartel, has virtually taken over law enforcement and high-ranking Mexican government in their host country and are perilous and vital actors on the international stage, leading their criminal activities across borders and threatens the stability and interests of the United States. In other words, are a major threat to the security of this nation.
Further evidence of this growing threat comes from the powerful Mexican cartels, which is already responsible for up to 80 percent of the cocaine reaching the United States and are increasingly able to operate above the law, to buy or even to kill government officials are expected to work with U.S. enforcement of the law to prevent crime.
What is worse, cartels have formed alliances with American gangs, giving these drug cartels a deep reach of American life and through this alliance with our gangs, which gives them control over most of drug trafficking 0-0000000000 of America, the largest in the world.
These posters have become a global society of international crime of illegal franchises around the globe.
The ability of these Mexican drug cartels to operate with total disregard for the law on both sides of the border – trafficking in drugs, weapons, human beings, terrorism, prostitution and money laundering now threatens to destabilize the U.S. economy and our way of life, especially in poor areas and in our projects and our neighborhoods.
With the corruption of our government officials and the buy of legitimate businesses and undermine U.S. companies, these criminals who are threatening to delay the food small progress as a nation we have done in regard to minorities and strip poor children of Americans, and in the case of Mexico, could impede the reform there indefinitely.
Federal authorities point to Mexican drug cartels that are responsible for border violence by having cemented ties to gangs and prison as Barrio Azteca in El Paso, the U.S. side of the border. Azteca like many other drugs, the U.S. retail strips they get from Mexican cartels and their gangs. One of the most perilous. Mexican gangs also run their own distribution networks in the United States, which produce most of the methamphetamine used north of the border. They even ignored the Colombians several times both to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and even Afghanistan.
These same gangs often work as cartel surrogates or performance on the American side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas are known as “Los Zetas have hired members of various gangs at different times, including El Paso Barrio Azteca gang, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, MS-13 and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to continue their efforts criminal. Perilous Gangs Mexican />
The list of crimes the new international criminal organizations are involved in is long. It’s drug trafficking, people and chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. They make billions of dollars of fraud against banks, businesses and governments. That ruin life, undermine economies and reduce confidence in the political and economic reforms and widespread corruption and violence. In summary, we have become a threat to international security.
Senator Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Drug Caucus, in a speech at the Heritage Foundation, based in Washington, said: “Obviously, we need to design a new foreign policy to deal with these criminal groups – to place out of business and in jail. “
But what we really need is a policy of defense of the country that stop the flow of trade through illegal in this country permanently.
In a speech to the United Nations, President Clinton acknowledged the growing threat of international criminal groups, such as Mexican drug cartels, and called for greater efforts to fight against these organizations. So we had this problem a long time.
A ranking House Republican has requested a hearing on the basis of recent reports that Islamic terrorists embedded in the United States joined with the Mexican drug cartels to fund terrorist networks abroad.
The Representative Ed Royce, ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs terrorism and the sub-committee of the Non-Proliferation, said the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) document – first reported by The Washington Times – highlights the vulnerability of the nation is when fighting the war on drugs and “terrorism. br />
Senator Grassley also said: “These efforts must achieve several objectives:. Dismantle major criminal groups, stiffen the penalties for their involvement in international crime, and promote international cooperation to counter the actions of criminal elements “
U.S. policymakers should take concrete steps to address the enormous challenges of today in Mexican drug cartels. We Americans must protect our borders and keep these perilous elements out of the country. We must strengthen intelligence capabilities against groups and their leaders.
We must work with Mexico and other countries to strengthen their legal systems and police forces.
We must improve our ability to control the flow of money to prevent criminal organizations that abuse the United States, Mexico, financial institutions and banking systems. And we need to raise the consciousness of Americans the fantastic threat posed by these posters and forge a united front to bring them to justice.
The political corruption scandals in Mexico, the cruelty of bronze Mexican drug cartels and U.S. streets flooded with drugs to meet the demand of billions of dollars – all are the product of ruthless criminal organizations willing to trample the life and dignity in their eagerness to ill-gotten gains.
Such as Mexico, Colombia and other countries that the U.S. should start dealing with us is presented as a new political threat of international criminal activity. But, we see the impact of international crime on our streets every day in wasted lives and violence drug break our separate cities.
Soon, if the U.S. does not take much action on the current type of carnage Mexican kidnappings, assassinations and beheadings Gangland style drug cartels can become commonplace here in America.
As the most powerful nation on earth, the United States have an obligation to lead the world to develop a robust response and internationally. As to the form of President Bush’s first coalition to counter the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, it is also necessary that the new president takes office in January 09 to start working with Congress and law enforcement to challenge the threat posed by cartels of the new international crime that are right on our southern border.
The Cold War may be over, but America still has enemies in the world. Emerging international crime cartels are simply the latest. The United States can not afford to ignore this problem, but must start as a response to foreign policy as hard as taking a stand against criminal groups in the country.
More than 1,500 people were killed in Mexico so far this year, according to the press in Mexico. Most of the killings took place in states that are centers of drug trafficking and organized crime. In a single day last week alone, Mexico recorded 40 executions. These murders are the most violent of episodes that are believed ordered by Mexican cartels with some of the victims are U.S. citizens.
Editor Penny Starr CNSNews.com reports that a report from the Department of State U. S. About “unnatural deaths” of U.S. citizens abroad says that Americans have been victims of 126 homicides or “executions” in Mexico between Jan. 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007. A total of 667 American dead in Mexico by “against nature” causes during this period. See the report “unnatural deaths”
The State Department says the report “is based solely on cases reported by American citizens to our posts abroad,” which leaves open the question of how complete or accurate it is.
Many of these killings took place just on the southern border of the United States. Twenty-nine took place in the city of Tijuana, just south of San Diego, California.
The two deaths described in the report of the State Department as “executions” were in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, which borders the United States. One of these executions were reported to have occurred Jan. 21, 2007 in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. See

The report notes in particular the violence in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, saying. “Dozens of U.S. citizens were kidnapped and / or murdered in Tijuana in 2007″ See travel alert
U.S. national security threatened by Mexican cartels
By Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter unionized. July 14, 2009 at 16:30 PDT
A dozen bound and tortured bodies were found dumped beside a remote road in Michoacan. Police found the latest victims of the ongoing battle between rival drug traffickers on Monday. A threatening message was found near the bodies of 11 men hit and a woman are stacked and wrapped in a tarp, the police found at the scene. Unfortunately, this has become a common phenomenon: Last week, police found four bodies and a threatening note in the same place
This is due to recurrent violent drug cartels fight to oppose the routes smuggling operation of cocaine from Central America. United States, world’s largest consumer of drugs upper. Since drug trafficking in Mexico has become a very lucrative business to build billion a year, have control of these roads are hand ensures that money.
Despite the thousands of Mexican soldiers sent to many hot spots of the drug across the country, the bloodshed has not diminished. U.S. authorities have offered a helping hand, promising 0.4 million through the Merida Initiative, in order to help Mexico fight against cartels.The alarming increase in violence in Mexico, perpetrated by Mexican organizations fight against drug trafficking and the effects of violence in the United States, especially along the Mexican border to United States. UU. Southwest. The responsibility for this ongoing violence is a limited number of major criminal organizations, known as the Mexican drug cartel sophisticated and vicious (MDC), or the U.S. government prefers to call organizations Mexican drug traffickers (DTO) – no individual drug traffickers operating in isolation. Their illicit drugs to communities across the United States, Mexico and Europe. They generate billions of dollars a year illegal. These organizations support candidates for local and national corruption and Mexican law enforcement in particular to the end of a police force of Mexico in the rate of the highest levels of the federal police in Mexico and all levels in the medium.
These organizations also use violence to protect trafficking routes through Mexico and deep in the U.S. These organizations retaliation against individuals, organizations and police personnel believe the non-cooperative having betrayed them, and to intimidate the United States and the Mexican police and citizens of both countries. Drug-related killings in Mexico has doubled from 2006 to 2007, and more than doubled in 2008 to about 6200 murders. Nearly 10 percent of all murders in 2008 involved victims who were police or military. So far in 2009 there were about 4000 war against drugs-related murders in Mexico. Over the last decade, gangs Mexican drug cartels substitutes which means Mexican and American gangs have increased their presence in the United States and dominate drug trafficking in the United States and more than 230 U.S. cities and grow at a rate alarming.
Government U. S. in the past focused on the arrest of drug dealers and low-level users. Rarely senior officers as members of Mexican drug cartel followed or less brought to justice.
Since the drug user to a merchant humble of the war against drugs ancient people rarely seemed able to find and stop those that operate at high levels of drug trafficking. Very few drugs producer organizations, producers, transformers or those who finance the drug trade in this country, let alone to organizations such as Mexican drug cartels have been prosecuted.Now that the U.S. Remove the word “war against drugs,” according to the Government for a new approach which is developed by the American government to work with other governments plot to go to the root the problem by dismantling transnational organized criminal groups, compared to Mexican drug cartels as criminal organizations, rather than simply respond to individual acts of criminal violence.
decisive, and in coordination with the efforts of other U.S. government agencies and with the full cooperation of other governments, like Mexico, United States believes that this strategy can and will neutralize the organizations that cause violence.
This strategy directs federal agencies to improve coordination and sharing of information with agencies of State and local law enforcement, intensify national efforts to stop the flow south of weapons and money, while curbing the smuggling traffic to the north, and calls for close cooperation continued with the Mexican government efforts against drug cartels. The strategy is an vital component of national drug policy of government control and comprehensive efforts across government to address threats to border.
Commenting on the strategy, the holder of the Attorney General said, “the drug trafficking cartels spread violence and anarchy in our region of the border and reach all our communities large and small. “As he said,” By focusing on increased cooperation between the United States and the governments of Mexico and to improve communication within U.S. agencies, law enforcement, border Southwest National Counternarcotics Strategy we are launching today is an effective way to take strong action against cartels and make our country safer. “
Another vital element of the department’s efforts to neutralize the powerful Mexican drug cartels is the Merida Initiative, a partnership between the Government of Mexico and the United States. The Merida Initiative represents new opportunities for collaboration of experts on many fronts with Merida funded programs coordinated by the State Department, the Department’s plans, among other things: (1). place two federal prosecutors with experience in Mexico to work with their counterparts in the pursuit of capacity building, (2) to assign a forensic expert in Mexico (3) to help Mexican law enforcement and our interagency partners in strengthening and development of equipment control and working groups that can work with U.S. forces.

At the same time, as a matter of operation, the department continues to work closely with Mexico, as it addresses the issue of posters related to public corruption, including through research help.
In addition, the report will say that the ministry’s strategy to identify, disrupt and dismantle drug cartels, Mexico has five key elements and supports the National Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy. First, the strategy has expanded intelligence capabilities, and coordination. Information from the Department of pools generated by our security forces, federal partners, state government and local levels, and then use the proceeds to promote operations in the United States and to help the efforts of Mexican authorities to attack the cartels and corruption that facilitates its operation. Second, thanks to the intelligence based on the prosecutor led several task forces that rely on the resources and expertise across the spectrum of federal, state, local and international agencies for investigation and prosecution The Department focuses its research efforts, extradition, prosecution and punishment of the key leaders of the cartel. As the Department has shown in attacking the other major criminal activities, leadership and destroying the financial infrastructure to take advantage of cartels undermine its own existence. Third, the Department of Justice, in a concerted effort the Department of Homeland Security, conducts research <-! NextPage ->. and processes related to arms trafficking and smuggling money and drugs to the facilities of the United Nations in Mexico Much of the violence and corruption in Mexico is fueled by these resources come from our side of the border. Fourth, the department uses traditional methods of law enforcement to deal with the threat of cartel activity in the United States.
These threats include the wide distribution of drugs on our streets and our neighborhoods, the battles between members of rival cartels on U.S. soil, and violence against American citizens. UU. and government interests. This component of the ministry’s strategy will inevitably include investigation and prosecution of American bands that forged working relationships with organizations of Mexican drug traffickers (DTO).
Fifth, the Department processes the criminals responsible for federal crimes of murder, trafficking, smuggling, money laundering, kidnapping and violence. The ultimate objectives of these operations is to neutralize the agreement and to bring criminals to justice

Because this new alliance MDC Mexico are expanding their operations dramatically in order to gain market share more drugs. Colombian MDC are cocaine and heroin traffickers dominant, especially in the northeast, but, are increasingly more for developed countries from Mexico to relinquish control to protect themselves from detection of the order of the Mexican cartels and the transport and distribution of cocaine and heroin from South America in the S.

The 22-month multi-agency investigation called “Project Deliverance” resulted in the arrest of more than 2,200 individuals and the seizure of $154 million in U. S. currency, 1,262 pounds of methamphetamine, 2. 5 tons of cocaine, 1,410 pounds of heroin, 69 tons of marijuana, 501 weapons, and 527 vehicles.
In announcing the latest arrests,
“This inter-agency, cross-border operation has been our most extensive, and most successful, law enforcement effort to date targeting these deadly cartels,” Holder said. “Our aim was to target not just cartel operations, but the networks of individuals across the United States the cartels tap to distribute drugs in our country and smuggle cash and guns out of it. ”
The latest wave of arrests Holder said describing how about 3,000 U. S. agents and officers fanned out in 16 states. The action led to the arrest of the individuals and the seizure of more than 90 pounds of heroin, more than 2,900 pounds of marijuana and other illegal drugs. More than $5 million was also seized, he said.
So far Project Deliverance has resulted in criminal charges against more than 2,200 individuals, including Carlos Ramon Castro-Rocha, the alleged leader of the Castro-Rocha drug trafficking organization. It has also led to seizure of more than $154 million; tons of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine and more than 500 weapons, Holder said.
Holder also praised the Mexican government for its role in supporting the crackdown and the joint effort by both Governments. More than 300 U. S. agencies, including the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration, are part of the task force.
Recently the Mexican Government arrested Drug kingpin Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel his death came during an Mexican army operation.
that result also challenges a long-held notion that Mexican government officials at the highest levels have been helping the Sinaloa cartel win the drug war. Coronel was the No. 3 of the gang led by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord.
According to Mexican authorities the attack was exclusively a Mexican operation. But U. S. Law enforcement acknowledges that U. S. Intel played an vital role. But the Mexicans insist that unlike other recent raids targeting top drug lords that have relied on U. S. intelligence, Mexican officials said after a month of intelligence work, the Mexican army zeroed in on Coronel at his mansion in an up scale suburb of Guadalajara Mexico.
One of the world’s most powerful drug cartels took a major hit when soldiers killed the drug kingpin in a gun battle, and his death will likely will mean more violence as factions fight for the cocaine and methamphetamine empire and smuggling corridors that he left behind.
“I absolutely believe that this will have an impact on . . . the Sinaloa federation’s capability to go their drugs, at least in the small term,” said Dave Gaddis, deputy chief of operations at the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration. “They will require time to rebuild. ”
Continuing the raids Friday, soldiers killed Coronel’s nephew, Mario Carrasco Coronel, in a shootout in the suburb of Zapopan.
The Defense Department said in a statement that Carrasco Coronel was one of his uncle’s possible successors. He opened fire on soldiers, wounding one, before he was killed, the department said.
The elder Coronel, who had a $5 million U. S. bounty on his head, is considered one of the founders of Mexico’s methamphetamine trade, building clandestine laboratories in the country and smuggling the drug into the United States. He controlled meth and cocaine trafficking routes that extended from Mexico’s Pacific coast and inland up to Arizona.
Holder noted that the latest attack on the drug cartels here in the states was just part of a continuing effort by the U. S. Government.
“Without question, these arrests and seizures will disrupt drug cartel operations and impact the ability of traffickers to go narcotics into the United States,” Holder said. “These operations have struck a significant blow against the cartels, but make no mistake: We know that as successful as this operation was, it was just one battle in what is an ongoing war. These perilous cartels will continue to attempt to wreak havoc on both sides of the border, and we will continue to target them with every resource available to the federal government and our state and local partners. ”
Obama had pledged to beef up security when he met recently with Mexico President Felipe Calderon.
Eric Holder the U. S. Attorney General praised Project Deliverance that he says has targeted the Mexican drug cartels and the smuggling of drugs, weapons and cash across the border. Meaning going into Mexico to fulfill the Presidents promise to the Mexican President at their last meeting in Mexico.
