Los Carteles mexicanos-20 Panillas en Los Estados Unidos

Distrito Federal— Los cárteles mexicanos han reclutado a los integrantes de 20 pandillas en Estados Unidos para la distribución al menudeo y mayoreo de todo tipo de drogas, conformando una red que opera incluso en las prisiones de la Unión Americana, en las que están recluidos los miembros de estas organizaciones asociadas con capos mexicanos.

El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos revela así en un informe de inteligencia el poder que han alcanzado los cárteles mexicanos en ese país, incorporando a sus filas a los pandilleros.

Hoy se estima que 58 por ciento de estos grupos participan en actividades del narcotráfico.

De acuerdo con el informe elaborado por el Centro de Inteligencia Nacional de Drogas (NDIC), “las pandillas han desarrollado y fortalecido las relaciones con las organizaciones delictivas transnacionales, que les ha permitido tener acceso a fuentes internacionales de suministro de grandes envíos de drogas ilícitas que luego distribuyen”.

Se revela que “los cárteles mexicanos mantienen relaciones de trabajo con al menos 20 pandillas callejeras y bandas en prisión, que operan en las comunidades urbanas y suburbanas en todo el país. Estas afiliaciones han aumentado significativamente la disponibilidad de drogas ilícitas en muchas zonas”.

Las labores de inteligencia estadounidense llevaron a identificar que las bandas que colaboran con los narcotraficantes mexicanos son:

• Mexican Mafia,
• Calle 18
• Mexikanemi

las cuales se ha detectado que no sólo están activas en las calles distribuyendo drogas, también algunos de sus integrantes operan desde la prisión.

Otras pandillas son

• Latin Kings
• Bandidos
• Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)
• Barrio Azteca
• Familia Guerrilla Negra
• Bloods
• Mongoles
• Crips
• Norteños
• Florencia 13,
• Sureños
• Gangster Disciples
• Tango Blast
• Hells Angels
• Texas Syndicate
• Hermanos de Pistoleros Latinos
• la banda Vagos

que trabajan con los cárteles mexicanos.

Se detalla que estas bandas realizan operaciones de narcotráfico en el sur de Texas, donde se han identificado como sus zonas de influencia

• Eagle Pass,
• Laredo,
• el Valle Bajo del Río Grande;

“algunas de estas pandillas se han asociado con bandas en las ciudades fronterizas de México”.

El documento indica que también tienen “una influencia significativa” en California, sobre todo en San Diego y Los ángeles.

“Estas bandas trabajan muy estrechamente con los cárteles mexicanos, que operan, por ejemplo, en Tijuana, Baja California”, donde no sólo participan en las operaciones de contrabando de drogas, también en el cruce de indocumentados hacia Estados Unidos.

El NDIC señala además que estos grupos delictivos locales se encargan de distribuir marihuana, cocaína, crack, metanfetaminas y heroína en el mercado negro estadounidense.

Los narcotraficantes mexicanos han encontrado así socios estratégicos para sus actividades criminales.

Mistrial Declared in Trial of Texas Syndicate Member Tomas Barrera

Jan 13th, 2009

A mistrial is declared in a 2006 kidnapping and murder case of an alleged Sinaloa cartel hit man.The 49th district court declared a mistrial this morning after two jurors were disqualified.

“It became evident that one of the jurors suffered from a physical ailment and prevented her from continuing to serve on this panel, the judge disqualified her.”Then another juror came forward disclosing information that also disqualified them from serving on a jury panel.“Even though we started out with 13 jurors two of them weren't able to be present before the trail for various reasons and from the viewpoint of the defense it was unacceptable to go forward with 11 jurors.”

For now the case against an alleged Texas Syndicate gang member is momentarily on hold.

Tomas Barrera is accused of being the mastermind behind a botched kidnapping and shooting death of an alleged Sinaloa Cartel hit man back in 2006

For police it was a busy year when the drug war across the border exploded

The turf war was on.

Would be their 24th murder case which took a detour but the defense says whether now or later he's ready for the trial.

“We believe very strongly that we would be able to show that mister Tomas Barrera wasn't anywhere near the scene of the crime when it occurred.”“We believe that the only evidence that the state has to connect him to this crime is extra ordinary weak evidence in fact they intended to rely on the testimony of someone who was at the scene of the crime and participated in the murder and who from what i understand at this point in time is going to e given immunity.”

However the assistant district attorney Uriel Druker whose not disclosing too much information about the case says, this is not a set back for his team.“It doesn't affect the case as of now however since it’s an ongoing case I really can't comment into much detail about the facts of the case or anything.

”The trial has been rescheduled for a later date.

According to the district attorney's office, if found guilty Barrera could face up to 99 years in prison for engaging in organized criminal activity and another 22 years for conspiracy.

Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)

-Big Quacho

Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, is one of the largest and most violent street gangs in the country.

• Most MS-13 gang members are illegal aliens from El Salvador, but also include nationals from Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and other Central and South American countries.
• With over 10,000 members, MS-13 gangs can often be identified by clothing or tattoos incorporating MS-13 or the number 13.
• Gang members have attacked and threatened law enforcement and committed a sting of ,rapes, assaults, break-ins, auto thefts, extortions, and frauds across the U.S.

MS-13 is one of several illegal alien gangs in the Dallas area.

We now know that some gangs are creating a “good neighbor” policy with other Latino street gangs in Dallas, such as Tango Blast, which is a combination of the Texas Syndicate, Mexican Mafia, and Latin Kings gangs. These dangerous gangs have been joining forces in manpower and drug trafficking, realizing that they can succeed more in their illegal activities if they join forces than by the continued blood rivals.

• Unfortunately, incarcerated gang members have been reorganizing in prison and once released, they band together to handle the security and sales for the drug cartels.
  

Gang members have long been engaged in retail drug trafficking, including cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin. As I have mentioned previously,

• Dallas serves as a major drug distribution hub for national drug trafficking, by major Mexican trafficking organizations.
• In 2005, law enforcement officials estimated the illegal narcotic business in Dallas at roughly $10 million a day.
• The fallout of violence along the US/Mexico border in Laredo is in part a consequence of the lucrative drug trade in Dallas as drug cartels and gangs fight for I-35, also labeled the Drug Corridor by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In response to the rising gang violence in Dallas and across our nation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched Operation Community Shield in February 2005 after a national threat assessment identified MS-13 as one of the largest and most violent street gangs in the country.

Nationwide, ICE arrested 359 MS-13 members and associates, including 10 clique leaders in the first phase of Operation Community Shield. Building on this initial success, ICE extended Operation Community Shield to target all illegal alien gangs, netting about 2,390 arrests from roughly 240 street gangs, including about 920 from the violent street gang MS-13.

Since the crackdown began, much of the gang’s leadership has left Dallas. Additionally, since February 24, 2006, ICE and Dallas police have conducted joint missions of Operation Community Shield, resulting in the arrest of 44 Dallas-area gang members.

I am proud of the Dallas Police Department’s dedication and commitment to ending gang violence as they worked with ICE to crackdown and dismantle violent street gangs in the Dallas area.

Expeditious Removal for Illegal Salvadorans
It is a travesty that illegal alien gang members are here in the first place and an even greater travesty that they are often released after apprehension due to legal loopholes. Currently, an 18-year-old court order affords Salvadorans full deportation process, thus undermining DHS’ authority to apply expedited removal procedures. Issued in 1988, the court order, also known as the Orantes injunction, was designed to protect Salvadorans seeking refuge in our nation from a brutal civil war in El Salvador. However, times have changed. The civil war in El Salvador ended many years ago, and the nation now has a democratically elected government with a developing economy. Unfortunately, MS-13 and members of drug cartels continue to exploit these loopholes in our legal system to thwart our immigration laws and obtain release into our communities.

In response, I am pleased to cosponsor legislation introduced by Congressman Henry Bonilla (R-TX) to close this legal loophole which allows thousands of illegal immigrants to remain in our country each month. The Fairness in Immigration Litigation Reform Act (H.R. 5541) overturns the Orantes injunction, thereby subjecting illegal Salvadorans to the same enforcement laws as other illegal immigrants. H.R. 5541 also establishes judicial guidelines for other present or future cases to ensure that no injunction unnecessarily interferes with the government’s implementation of the expedited removal program. This legislation is critical to implementing interior enforcement effectively and efficiently, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that illegal Salvadorans are not the exception to the rule of immigration law.
