DEC 2015 Devils, Deals and the DEA: Chapo Guzman biggest winner in the DEA's longest running drug cartel case A deep dive into drug cartels in Mexico https://www.propublica.org/article/devils-deals-and-the-dea The end of the story isn't really the end as we all know, with the crisis on the border, Obama and his league of corruption from Chicago to Fast and Furious, to the Fentanyl crisis, MS13 and International Human Organ traffickers, and sex slave trade.  Democrats don't see a problem at all, they want Open Borders, free access for all manner of criminal activity. One can only imagine how things would look like if they got their way. This is an excerpt from the end of the article: “There are more drugs coming across the border than ever.” While the cocaine trade has plunged in the United States in recent years, the heroin and methamphetamine markets have exploded. The amount of meth seized at the southwest border has more than quintupled since 2008, and the amount of heroin has more than tripled.  As the Sinaloa and other cartels have spread, they’ve brought killing in all directions. Moving south, according to a United Nations World Drug Report, they’ve partnered with organized-crime groups in Honduras, where homicides nearly tripled from 2005 to 2011. To the north, “just look at Chicago,” Herrod told me. That city’s homicide rate was up 20 percent in 2015 from the previous year, a trend that DEA officials attribute to the heroin trade, a burgeoning segment of the Sinaloa cartel’s entrepreneurial portfolio. In January, two Chicago brothers acting as wholesale distributors for billions of dollars’ worth of Sinaloa drugs were sent to federal prison. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the brothers were part of a network that shuttles drugs to a raft of cities that saw homicide spikes in 2015, including Washington, D.C., and Milwaukee, where the murder rates were up 58 percent and 70 percent, respectively, as of November.
