The Los Zetas is a Mexican transnational criminal organization specializing in drug and human trafficking that has extended across the Texas and Arizona borders with recent expansion in the South and Midwest.

Penetration beyond our borders has already occurred not only with the shipment of drugs but also by way of attacks on U.S. law enforcement and recruitment…
1) Bill Young believes that because his employees were not responsible for the 9/11 attacks, they should not have to suffer loss of income as a consequence.

Founded on March 17, 1948 came the notorious gang of the “Hells Angels”.

The government feared that Negroes would use the drug and become violent and go on rampages of raping white women. (Schaffer, n.d.)…
