#397 - "We're Under Siege" China's New Deal With The Sinaloa Cartel | John Nores
"I said, so how do you get them back so fast into California? You know what he told us? He goes, well, we don't really call, we don't call this place I'm sitting in California. We call it Mexico North. You guys call it California because you took it. Said, this is Mexico North. $4,000 to $7,000 cash, I can get any grower across that border in no time. Rather I do it in a vehicle, in a tunnel, whatever I'm going to have to do, I'm going to get my guy."
During a rare debriefing with a captured Sinaloa Cartel plaza boss responsible for 50 grow sites in Northern California, Nores learned that cartel operatives deported after arrest could be smuggled back across the southern border in less than a week for between four and seven thousand dollars. The boss openly stated that cartel leadership views California as 'Mexico North,' revealing the extent to which organized crime has embedded itself in the state and considers it effectively under their operational control.
