Meet the Players: The Tijuana Drug Cartel

Ramon and Benjamin Arellano Felix control the flow of drugs from Mexico into the U.S. with a ruthless efficiency that has made their cartel one of the richest, most powerful organizations in the world. "It’s almost as if they’re a sovereign country," says Mike Garland, retired chief of the DEA’s Mexico City office. In this ABC News program, Mexico’s national security adviser Adolfo Aguilar Zinser and others discuss the Arellano Felix operation, the corruption of Mexico’s former drug czar, and trust-building efforts as the Vicente Fox government seeks to establish itself as a reliable partner in the U.S./Mexico coalition against drugs.
