MEXICAN MAGAZINE "PROCESO" FOCUSES ON DRUG DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

From the editor: The magazine "Proceso," published in Mexico City since 1976, is doing an in-depth look at the "American cartels" who distribute throughout the U.S. the drugs shipped in from Mexico.

Author Jesus Esquivel writes the opening article published below, but the current magazine gets much more specific, naming names and showing the location of major distributors in the U.S.


Jesรบs Esquivel of Proceso

"The cartels that control drug trafficking in just over half of the US territory are local and not Mexican. 


The present work presented by Proceso reveals how many Mexican criminal organizations have formed alliances with drug traffickers in the U.S., the names of these local groups and the states in which they operate. 

This publication also presents Marcelo Ebrard's reflections on the bilateral fight against drug trafficking, an interview made days before he ran for the presidential candidacy.

In the U.S.-Mexico bilateral relationship, our government has been asking the U.S. for years for assistance in stopping the flow of arms from north to south. 

Conversely, Washington complains that Mexico continues to be the major gateway for all types of drugs into the United States. In recent years, synthetic drugs made with fentanyl cost Americans 288 lives every day. I am talking about every 24 hours.

And those are the official figures from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. 

The government of Joe Biden has maintained a more or less stable relationship with the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in terms of security cooperation and combating drug trafficking.  

However, Mexico has been asking Washington for years for assistance in stopping arms trafficking. 

The response from U.S. agencies such as the DEA, the FBI, and even the Pentagon is to point the finger at Mexico for the lack of strategies to root out the drug cartels.

We, Mexicans, have been asking ourselves for many years, and on the other side of the Rio Bravo to the north, who sells them, who transports them, who distributes them in the 50 states of the American Union. 

The answer is very simple and can be found in Proceso with its many years of investigative works. 


This is not the first report in which we point out that there are cartels in the United States. Not cartels as we know them in Mexico and Colombia. But they are organized crime groups very well orchestrated for all the logistics required to move drugs.

Officially, Proceso was the first media to publish in Mexico that after so many decades the DEA accepted that there are cartels in the United States. Gringo cartels. Domestic cartels as they call them. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland also agreed at a press conference recently with the Mexican government in a security meeting at the State Department that they have a strategy to combat the U.S. cartels. 

And where are the names, who are they, how many are there? That is the information that the Americans don't want to release because it would be like spitting to high heaven.

In this Proceso report you can find the names of these groups, which are not cartels like the Jalisco New Generation Cartel or the sophisticated Sinaloa Cartel. 

They are very practical but just as dangerous and lethal as the Mexican and Colombian ones. Why? Because they are gang members, they are motorcycle clubs with franchises in the 50 states of the United States. 

In towns and cities that coordinate to receive drugs from Mexican cartels on the border between the two nations.   

The job of distributing and selling them belongs to the gringo cartels. 

We have done a thorough investigation pointing out not only the names but the territories where they are located, how they move, and what their associations are and with which Mexican groups. 

Proceso's investigations have put the failures of bilateral cooperation back on the table. 

Because it’s not just a matter of federal legislators on Capitol Hill in Washington who are unaware of the minutiae of drug trafficking. They’re starting to point the finger at our country as the only responsible party.

In the United States, for years they have not defined a public health and education strategy to stop what seems unstoppable. The great demand and consumption of narcotics. 

Again they have talked in Washington of believing that they will even invade Mexico to arrest and dismantle the members of the drug cartels. But what has happened to those they arrest every day? 

In Mexico people do not know that in the United States thousands of drug traffickers are arrested every day. 

There are 50 states. We are talking about more than 30 million inhabitants. In this report from Proceso you will find all these details. 

This is the new face that we offer you in this work. And more to come for Proceso magazine.

I am Jesรบs Esquivel. Your correspondent in Washington for Proceso."


Even more direct and detailed are comments from readers to "Borderland Beat" that reproduced the article above.

"Borderland Beat" readers are not bashful.  They name names.

We publish a few excerpts from comments to the article above:


• Black Gangster Disciples, BGD, boss from Chicago, “Shorty” who ran the US gang from prison.

Well connected up & down the Mississippi Valley for decades dealing the cocaine smuggled.

• Paredes family @ Sonora / AZ border. Lots of help from Tucson & Phoenix from US Citizen criminal 

Correct, in Arizona, the Curtis Allen Olson crime family, is in control of this drug trafficking.

Junior Paredes controls Phoenix. BLO used to be big there. 

Its true that there are a lot of white american drug traffickers there as well as the black, biker gangs, mexican street and prison gangs.

Canada has Hells Angels, independent soldiers, red scorpions, etc.

10:43 you forgot the biggest players the montreal mafia and sam gor. Get out of here with that wolfpac garbage10:43 The Hells Angels originated on March 17, 1948, in Fontana, California

  1. El Seรฑor de los GalletasJuly 9, 2023 at 9:46 AM

    The VA does anything in their power to not prescribe opiates and highly addictive drugs like barbiturates. 

  2. But I have civilian friends that their family practice doctors just had them out like candy. That’s what ends up on the street. 

  3. People trading pills for favors or other drugs. Sad but true. Our own trusted people don’t care about anything….but the bottom line ๐Ÿ’ฐ

  4. And thus is the critical choke point riddle the alphabet soup orgs can’t solve or won’t solve. 

    Crips, bloods, all outlaw motorcycle gangs, norteรฑos, sureรฑos, mexican mafia, nazi groups, AB, gรกngster disciples, independent white groups.

  5. Thanks to king racist Biden and the 94’ crime bill it is very easy to hammer somebody with many years in prison. 

  6. So one of the tools is there but has always been used wrongly. Although it did target the pop that kkk eulogy giving biden was intending on targeting…the black males. And probably rightfully so. 

  7. Doesn’t make biden any less diabolically racist! Mexico needs to secure their border from our God given constitutionally granted USA guns. 

  8. And the USA needs to choke that vital point between the cartel and the many many top distributors throughout the country. 

  9. In my opinion, many many of these aren’t driving lambos and living in mansions. 

  10. They most likely are illegal or dual, work everyday, have pounds and pounds in some illegals closet who is too scared to say no or who owes and are the crucial point between the cartels and the USA street cliques. 

  11. Cause USA vertical gangs are over except maybe west coast. It’s all small cliques pushing dope banging it out with stolen guns in the city streets. 

  12. That days of the good ol Gangster Disciples with Larry Hoover calling the shots from an Illinois prison cell are over.

  1. 11:43 he said sophisticated like the CDS and CJNG, one thing is for sure, ive heard a lot of Jesus Esquivel's news and he mentions CDS is the snitchiest cartel, not so straight forward but mentions all of their backstabing and snitching a lot, so i dont think he is a dickrider
  2. Absolute nonsense. 

  3. First, the term "cartel" is being misused these days. In fact, some of the fractured cells of former cartels certainly do not qualify as "cartels" and the US government doesn't even refer to them as such in favor of the more accurate term "Drug Trafficking Organization" and sometimes adding the "transnational" label. 

  4. Cartels are cooperative in nature, and have separate leadership structures, and cooperate for a common goal such as controlling price. 

  5. This is exactly what the Medellin and Cali cartels were even if Medellin had a strong apparent figurehead - he still had partners. 

  6. Next, this claim - "They are... just as dangerous and lethal as the Mexican and Colombian ones" is patently and blatantly false. 

  7. Although there are indeed "deadly and dangerous" organized and even loosely organized criminal gangs in the US, they do not operate with impunity and they certainly do not operate with the level of government (and law enforcement) cooperation as in MX. 

  8. Wake me the fuck up the next time a US based criminal gang puts up a road block that goes undisturbed for hours at a time, when they assassinate a politician or reporter, when their criminal cohorts take them back from police custody, when a town or municipality pays them a tax, when together with the government they tap gas/oil lines, when 1000's of US residents are displaced because of open warfare between criminal elements, or when there is evidence that a US governor or higher has direct ties to organized criminal gangs (like the last 2 in TAMPS, and the current governor of TAMPS most certainly has). 

  9. That level of corruption and complicity Does. Not. Happen. in the US. Full stop.

  10.  So, to compare the two is nonsense. When a Mexican organized crime figure(s) kidnaps someone in MX they do so not under the cloak of darkness or disguise - they do it openly and do not even try to hide their identity. 

  11. This should tell you all you need to know about the difference between the nature of the violence in MX and in the US.

  12.  Criminal gangs in the US do not parade around in trucks and SUVs openly carrying long rifles and tactical gear without being disturbed. 

  13. To attempt any comparison without due consideration to the impunity and complicity in MX is intellectually disingenuous and uninformed (you'll get a lot of that on these forums by the way), and at the end of the day, makes MX MUCH more dangerous in dynamics.

  14. of course not. it would be political suicide. people don't seem to understand the bad guys run shit here, and in the US, the bad guys are trying their best to get away with doing shit. 
  15. Yeah, both endeavors results in violence and murder, but the dynamics are VERY different. 
  16. In the US, I can avoid the bad people because they don't control large portions of the State. 
  17. Here I cannot avoid the bad guys with any practicality if I want to leave my house and drive anywhere.
  18. @656 you obviously have NO idea what you're talking about. the "mafia," thanks to RICO, is a shadow of what is was at its peak. 
  19. Let me list the things the "mafia" did not accomplish: zero evidence of collusion with governors; 
  20. they did not control vast areas of the country; they operated in the shadows; they did not parade thru the streets in suv's and trucks with long rifles and tactical gear; 
  21. the police were not complicit in their crimes (corrupting an officer or two does not count); 
  22. they did not corrupt the federal law enforcement; they did not corrupt the military; 
  23. they did not kidnap ordinary citizens and otherwise terrorize vast swaths of the country; they did not hold roadblocks and commit other atrocities with impunity. 
  24. Do I need to continue? Thanks to the efforts of the US government and law enforcement at all levels, the "mafia" isn't even a junior varsity team on the criminal landscape anymore; 
  25. they are now relegated to scraping by by committing financial crimes and other fraud. 
  26. Like a lot of folks here, You. Do. Not. Know. What. You. Are. Talking. About. 
  27. If Mexico was serious about combating the "cartels," they'd enact a RICO type law and decimate them. 
  28. But they won't, because here, there's really no difference between a "cartel" and the politicians and law enforcement who decide who will and who will not operate with impunity. 
  29. Comments like yours are shockingly uninformed.
  30. Duh we know usa gangs distribute the freaking poison. 

  31. Mexican cartels are whole sellers and Colombians are producers. 

  32. We also know that tons of Americans are behind bars for drugs and there is a drug addiction crisis that is a public health concern. 

  33. Now amlo has the same problem in Mexico tons of addicts work for the cartels for peanuts and extort hard working people. 

  34. In the USA it is the same deal tons of people end up being trafficked or squeezed out of their money for drugs. And your uncle Biden don’t care if it’s not on his agenda. 

  35. In general all American continent needs give these drug cartels hard and real penalties. 

  36. I did give up on the snitch contracts and to start remind them who has them by the balls. 

  37. But yeah another problem is that each other just put the blame on each other.

  38. Again that doble standard.
