The Rise of MS13 and Militarized Mexican Drug Cartels

The Rise of MS13 and Militarized Mexican Drug Cartels

Today is the second in a two-part series on BORDERLAND, examining the MS13 gang and the massive crackdown taking place in El Salvador. Last week, we spoke with Alex Papadovassilakis and Steven Dudley of the organization InSight Crime, to talk about efforts to clear the country of gang violence, the 70,000 people who’ve been arrested, and the mega prisons that are housing them. This week, we do a deep dive into the origins of the notorious street gang and how they differ from Mexican cartels. The fentanyl crisis, what is tranq (as well as how it became such a massive and dangerous problem in areas known for street drugs), how these drugs are coming into the country, and what can be done to stop it.
