GunsDrugs — The public record

Barrio Azteca

A 2024 federal appellate opinion describes a prison-origin gang active on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. The case affirmed convictions arising from murders and related offenses; historical drug assessments also document trafficking. These sources establish a dated cross-border organization, not a current territorial boundary.
