This document was prepared using law enforcement reporting available to NDIC as of April 9, 2008; it updates information regarding Mexican DTOs set forth in the National Drug Threat Assessment Discussion Mexican DTOs are the most pervasive organizational threat to the United States. They are active in every region of the country and dominate the illicit drug trade in every area except the Northeast. Mexican DTOs are expanding their operations in the Northeast and have developed cooperative relationships with DTOs in that area in order to gain a larger share of the northeastern drug market. Federal, state, and local law enforcement reporting reveals that Mexican DTOs operate in at least 195 cities throughout the United States (see Map 1 in Appendix A and the table in Appendix B). In 129 cities, 2 law enforcement officials reported the presence of Mexican DTOs with affiliations to at least one of the four principal Mexican drug cartels that supply illicit drugs to U.S. markets,,, and. Specifically, Mexican DTOs affiliated with the Cartel have been identified in at least 82 cities (see Map 2 in Appendix A), to the Cartel in at least 43 cities (see Map 3 in Appendix A), to the Cartel in at least 44 cities (see Map 4 in Appendix A), and to the Cartel in at least 20 cities (see Map 5 in Appendix A).
