Drug smuggling gangs in Mexico have sent well-armed assassins, or "sicarios," into Arizona to locate and kill bandits who are ambushing and stealing loads of cocaine, marijuana and heroin headed to buyers in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security has warned Arizona law enforcement authorities.
In a memo sent in May and widely circulated since, the department said: "We just received information from a proven credible confidential source who reported that a meeting was held in Puerto Penasco in which every smuggling organization who utilizes the Vekol Valley was told to attend. This included rival groups within the Guzman cartel."
Joaquín Archivaldo Guzman Loera heads what formally is known as the Sinaloa Cartel, which smuggles multi-ton loads of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico to the United States. One of the most powerful and dangerous drug gangs in Mexico, it also is known as the Guzman cartel, which has been tied to the production, smuggling and distribution of Mexican marijuana and heroin and has established transshipment outlets in the United States.
The Vekol Valley is a widely-traveled drug smuggling corridor running across Interstate 8 between the Arizona towns of Casa Grande and Gila Bend, continuing north towards Phoenix. It gives drug smugglers the option of shipping their goods to California or to major cities both north and east.
The Homeland Security memo said a group of "15, very well equipped and armed sicarios complete with bullet proof vests" had been sent into the valley. It said the assassins would be disguised as "groups of 'simulated backpackers' carrying empty boxes covered with burlap into the Vekol Valley to draw out the bandits." Once identified, the memo said, "the sicarios will take out the bandits."
The federal government has posted signs along Interstate 8 in the Vekol Valley warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and the local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.More here

Obama should immediatly file a lawsuit against Arizona for interfering with the activities of these poor migrant gang mambers.
Leave the little fellows alone , they are just trying to make a living. Obama , your the greatest thing that ever happened to America. Open our doors to the south , north and the east. Couldn't mention the west , they have been open for years , look at California , the gay state without any law. Ah , ain't life great with this wonderful leader. Makes me feel good all over.
I know , we can make a new TV show about the little guys comming across the border , make a fortune.
I'm going to vote for him again , cause he's black , it don't make no difference he's dumb as a brick.
excellent!. will the "sicarios" be interested in taking on other jobs americans won't do?
And Obama is trying to shut down the law enforcement of Arizona by lawsuits? What else is his administration allowing to cross the borders?
Great homeland security has warned arizona.
Homeland security is a joke, why dont they do something instead of warning, maybe another ploy to keep there jobs. While getting paid for nothing.
