The waiter at the mexican restaurant I eat lunch at was in the Autodefensas Michoacan self defense group down in Mexico. He has some interesting tips on how to deal with the cartels. I am taking copious notes.

ICE rounded up over 1000 illegal alien gang members and 300 other criminals in the last month around the US. The departments around here should all get 287(g) certified so police can do the same, stuffing the jail full of bad hombres and the evidence room full of seized cash and heroin. I've quit holding my breath to see Metro Narcotics, FBI or DEA make more than 1 or 2 significant busts per year. A single KSP trooper seized more heroin the other day than any of them did last year. You can't win a drug war working at a snail's pace.

The traditional law enforcement approach doesn't work with large militarized groups like the Mexican cartels are. They employ people trained in intelligence and military special operations. You must treat them as you would an insurgency or terrorist organization or a foreign intelligence agency. They routinely bribe and blackmail to get information from law enforcement. They also bribe to influence political decisions. Anyone could be under their influence. They intercept phone calls and hack computers. You don't bring your C players or Barney Fife mentality to that kind of fight and I'm not seeing a whole lot of A-team people around this city. Trump will hopefully fix that before he leaves offices.
