The documents show collaboration between major Drug Cartels and local and international U.S. Gangs.

This reporter wrote in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2013\/05\/18\/mexican-cartel-narcotics-operation-busted-deep-into-us-territory-oregon\/\">2013 about an unprecedented Mexican cartel presence in Oregon<\/a>, in addition<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2013\/06\/05\/washington-state-mexican-national-ran-u-s-front-company-to-hide-cartel-meth-ring\/\"> to Washington state<\/a>. From previous research, the cartels appear to use the Pacific Northwest as a staging ground to supply meth to U.S. oilfield workers in the Bakken region of the U.S. Dakotas.<\/p>\n<p>As the oil began to flow in the uppermost regions of the U.S.,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2013\/06\/04\/thirty-days-three-us-states-see-mexican-narco-rings-on-thier-soil-oregon-alabama-idaho\/\"> indictments involving Mexican nationals and meth operations began to surface<\/a>. In most cases, a Mexican national was sent from Mexico to the U.S. to lead a narco-ring which consisted of hired U.S. citizens. Though these cases clearly involve a Mexican cartel, the assertion couldn\u2019t be proven with the available information.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-or\/pr\/multi-agency-investigation-large-drug-trafficking-organization-results-indictment-24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a> from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s office contained no hint that the operation was a cartel enterprise. The indictment was helpful, but the government\u2019s effort to deny bail to the defendants contained proof of cartel involvement. The motion for pretrial detention specifically names the Knights Templar cartel and the Sinaloa Federation (cartel).<\/p>\n<p>Read the Remainder at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/21\/vast-mexican-cartel-meth-operation-in-u-s-spanned-oregon-california-and-texas\/\">Breitbart Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Matamoros a top commander with feared Los Zetas Cartel who may have been trying to sneak into Texas was caught.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Known as Jonathan Abbid \u201cEl Jonas\u201d Espinoza Ayala, the man is suspected of being the second in command for Los Zetas in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas.
