Mexican drug cartels in South Carolina?
According to SLED, cartels that had operations in Atlanta are relocating to North and South Carolina and Tennessee:
According to Reggie Lloyd, Director of South Carolina’s State Law Enforcement Division, Mexican drug cartels that used to enjoy Atlanta, Georgia are heading to rural and suburban areas of South Carolina. Lloyd says that Atlanta’s attempts to fight the cartels have been so successful that they are leaving Atlanta for quieter bases of operation, according to a Charlotte Observer report.
They need a market - I would assume that elements of drug cartels or at least those associated with them are already present in every state.
