| Drug Trafficking Organizations Atlanta | Dated May 2010 | Focused on Atlanta, Georgia. "Mexican DTOs continue to use the Atlanta HIDTA region as the leading drug distribution center and bulk cash consolidation center in the eastern United States. They are the principal wholesale drug distributors in the region, supplying most other midlevel and retail-level traffickers in the region, particularly African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic (including Dominican) distributors." "Members of both independent cells and cartel-affiliated cells in Atlanta are increasingly recruiting into their distribution operations young men (typically in their early 20s) of Mexican descent who have been raised in the United States. Law enforcement officers report that the American upbringing of these men tends to make them more knowledgeable about American social norms, helping them to better conceal their drug trafficking activities from law enforcement." | National Drug Intelligence Center |
