Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations have joined forces with the powerful Mexican Mafia prison gang while politicians and news pundits grapple over what constitutes a border emergency. The Mexican Mafia's control over tens of thousands of Sureño street gang members, including MS-13, 18th Street, and Florencia 13, is facilitating the transnational acceleration and distribution of drugs entering from our southern border and enabling criminal commerce to function smoothly.
