Cocaine Wars

In this video we found on YouTube we are given a look inside the Colombian cocaine drug cartels that sprung up after the fall of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. The main focus of this video happens to be the method of using mules to smuggle cocaine into the United States. These aren’t your average mules, these are human mules.

The main focus of law enforcement is to stop cocaine before it reaches American shores.
