They are no joke. If you see or hear anything on the street about them, then you should communicate that securely to the feds. Don't use a cell phone.

"Larger Mexican organized crime groups like Guzman's Sinaloa cartel have a long history of successfully corrupting public officials on both sides of the border. Groups like the Sinaloa cartel have recruited scores of intelligence assets and agents of influence at the local, state and even federal levels of the Mexican and U.S. governments. In Mexico, they have recruited agents in elite units such as the anti-organized crime unit of the Office of the Mexican Attorney General, the military, the federal police and Mexican employees working for the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. In the United States, they have recruited the FBI special agent in charge of the El Paso Office; inspectors and special agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection (CBP); and sheriffs, deputies, state troopers and local police officers.

Some Mexican organized crime groups are known to conduct extensive surveillance and background checks on potential targets to determine how to best pitch to them. Like the spotting methods used by intelligence agencies, the surveillance conducted by cartels on potential targets is designed to glean as many details about the target as possible, including their residences, vehicles, family members, financial needs and vices.

Historically, many foreign intelligence services are known to use ethnicity in their favor, heavily targeting persons sharing an ethnic background found in the foreign country. Foreign services are also known to use relatives of the target living in the foreign country to their advantage. Mexican cartels use these same tools: They tend to target Hispanic officers and often use family members living in Mexico as recruiting levers. For example, Luis Francisco Alarid, who had been a CBP officer at the Otay Mesa, California, port of entry, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison in 2009 for participating in a conspiracy to smuggle people and marijuana into the United States. One of the people Alarid admitted to conspiring with was his uncle, who drove a van loaded with marijuana and migrants through a border checkpoint manned by Alarid.
