    Mexican drug cartels war bleeds over into Arizona cities

    The Mexican drug lords are now doing home invasions in American cities and are kidnapping people as ransom for drug payments and are threatening to cut off fingers or ears or threatening to gouge out eyes if ransom demands aren't paid.

    Phoenix Arizona has already had over 300 home invasions and kidnappings this year. They were averaging one kidnapping EVERY DAY as part of the Mexican drug cartels war.

    Its starting to bleed over even deeper into our border. The video is: here

    Coming soon to a city near you! :|
    If this was the Special Olympics, I'd be polite and would tell you that you did a good job, but it's not, so go !@#$%^&* yourself.

    Traffic is our biggest problem (speeders, stop light runners, brake lights etc. etc.). DUI realted deaths is our second issue. I would have to agree that drugs is at the bottom of the list with our problems in Sarasota.

    Hey rookie, get your head out of your a$$. Drugs are a huge problem in this community and every other. Why do you think most robberies, burglaries and thefts are committed? Maybe to support a drug habit? It all trickles down into the same smelting pot.

    Yea traffic violators are an issue. But would you rather have some clown speeding in your neighborhood or a crack house?

    In my humble opinion, drugs and especially alcohol is the main issues that we must deal with as law enforcement.

    I agree with the rook, most cops have to deal with drugs ,but not us here in Sarasota. Drugs are just not an issue as much as traffic and other disturbances. If drugs were a problem then we would have more pro-active drug units at the SSO. We are doing just fine here. We have not been affected by the drug problems that other agencies have. What we do need is, more traffic enforcement.

    Few regions of the U.S. are immune to drug-trafficking organizations that have left a trail of death, kidnappings and other crimes.

    The drug violence that has left about 4,000 people dead this year in Mexico is spreading deep into the United States, leaving a trail of slayings, kidnappings and other crimes in at least 195 cities as far afield as Atlanta, Boston, Seattle and Honolulu, according to federal authorities.

    The involvement of the top four Mexican drug-trafficking organizations in distribution and money-laundering on U.S. soil has brought a war once dismissed as a foreign affair to the doorstep of local communities.

    Residents of the quiet Beaver Hills subdivision in Lilburn, Ga., an Atlanta suburb, awoke to the trans-border crime wave in July, when a brigade of well-armored federal and state police officers surrounded a two-story colonial home at 755 East Fork Shady Drive, ordered neighbors to lock their doors and flushed out three men described as members of a Mexican drug cartel. One was captured after he tried to slip down a storm drain. Another was caught in the ivy in Pete Bogerd's backyard.

    A short while later, police hauled out a 31-year-old from the Dominican Republic who for nearly a week had been chained and tortured inside the basement, allegedly for not paying a $300,000 drug debt:



    In the months after, several dozen suspects have been charged with moving drugs and money for Mexican traffickers through Atlanta, which has emerged as an important hub for thriving narcotics markets in the Eastern United States.

    Few regions of the nation have been immune -- even Anchorage reported activity by the Tijuana drug cartel led by the Arellano Felix family, according to federal law enforcement agencies.

    In suburban San Diego, six men believed to be part of a rogue faction of the Arellano Felix organization have been accused in connection with as many as a dozen murders and 20 kidnappings over a three-year span.

    Last month, three armed men disguised as police officers broke into a Las Vegas home, tied up a woman and her boyfriend and abducted the woman's 6-year-old boy. Authorities said the men were tied to a Mexican drug smuggling operation and were trying to recoup proceeds allegedly stolen by the child's grandfather.

    In September, authorities announced that 175 members of Mexico's Gulf cartel had been rounded up across the country and abroad. Of those, 43 had been active in the Atlanta area.

    The arrests were part of Project Reckoning, an 18-month investigation that tracked criminal activity in the U.S. by the Mexican cartels. All told, Project Reckoning authorities have arrested 507 people and seized more than $60 million in cash, 16,000 kilograms of cocaine, half a ton of methamphetamine, 19 pounds of heroin and 51 pounds of marijuana.

    The footprints of Mexican smuggling operations are on all but two states, Vermont and West Virginia, according to federal reports. Mexican organizations affiliated with the so-called Federation were identified in 82 cities, mostly in the Southwest, according to an April report by the National Drug Intelligence Center, an arm of the Department of Justice.

    The extent and depth of cartel activity was not specified, but the Drug Enforcement Administration told Congress two years ago that it believed Mexican-based trafficking organizations "now have command and control over the drug trade and are starting to show the hallmarks of organized crime, such as organizing into distinct cells with subordinate cells that operate throughout the United States."

    The men blindfolded her eyes, took her to an apartment and tried to negotiate the return of their money.
