U.S. prosecutors rattle, but don’t break, Mexican cartels

U.S. prosecutors rattle, but don’t break, Mexican cartels: “More Mexican drug lords are getting stiff prison terms, but they’re quickly replaced. Using drug and racketeering statutes and extradition agreements, federal prosecutors are sending a steady parade of Mexican drug lords into U.S. prisons. Although that is having a chilling effect on the smuggling cartels, there is no sign that the convictions are breaking the organizations, which are growing more violent, according to U.S. officials and other experts.”
