    Unfortunately the blood gates are about to open up. Witness intimidation and killings. Judges, prosecutors will be publicly killed to put fear in the eyes of the law. This is a way of life for these cartels and the sad part of it is whole families will be chopped up or cute down. as a result of this.

    MEXICO CITY _ Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, top leader of the vicious Zetas drug-and-extortion cartel, was in a cell in Mexico City on Tuesday, awaiting interrogation and possible extradition to the United States.

    Treviño, known as "40," was transported to the capital late Monday after his capture in the border city of Nuevo Laredo by Mexican navy special forces following what authorities described as a long pursuit based in part on U.S.-supplied intelligence. Mexican media showed images of him striding in to the federal prosecutor’s organized crime unit, wearing a black polo shirt, escorted by military guards but without handcuffs or other restraints.

    Treviño was considered one of the most brutal leaders of a particularly brutal organization, one that branched out from drug trafficking to extortion, kidnapping and the smuggling of migrants -- who Treviño and his men routinely slaughtered when they did not cooperate or pay up, authorities say.

    Mexico under siege

    His arrest marks the most significant blow to organized crime since President Enrique Peña Nieto took office more than seven months ago. His government will certainly attempt to use the arrest to prove its commitment in the drug war -- a commitment that has been questioned in many circles, including among U.S. officials who had previously worked extremely closely with their Mexican counterparts but found the rules changing under the new administration.

    But the capture will also likely ignite a ? wave of violence as Treviño’s cohorts fight to succeed him.

    It also strengthens the hand of the most powerful drug lord in Mexico, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, whose Sinaloa Cartel competes with the Zetas and may now have its eyes on Nuevo Laredo, Treviño’s hometown and one of the most lucrative crossing points for the shipment of tons of ? and marijuana into the U.S.

    Under Treviño, the Zetas “controlled hundreds of miles of Mexican territory along the border of Mexico and the United States, which they used to conduct their drug trafficking and money laundering operations” that were valued in millions of dollars, a 2012 indictment in U.S. federal court stated.

    The U.S., which had offered a $5-million reward for his arrest, may seek Treviño’s extradition.

    The Zetas were formed nearly a decade ago by leaders of the Gulf cartel as their muscle, recruited from a group of deserters from the Mexican army. But the Zetas eventually split from the cartel and surpassed it, spreading its operations through southern Mexico and Central America and exhibiting levels of brutality not previously seen with such regularity. Beheadings, massacres of migrants, torture and dismembering of live victims all became routine parts of the Zetas repertoire.

    It's a handful of cartels competing. Eliminating one is just allowing the others more space to grow. That's if the los zeta's allow one man to stop the show. Them dudes is organized as ? . Probably got a men trained several ranks above them in case a position needs to be filled. But then again, the US might have an ulterior motive altogether. The whole "war on drugs" gimmick was always fishy to me.

    This man is beyond sick and crazy.....has anyone heard of the 2011 massacre he helped set up in a Mexican desert?

    Him and his goons took several Mexican tour buses held with mostly Mexican citizens at gunpoint, asked the driver to drive to the desert and all the male passengers came out. They took the good looking women and put them in a safehouse, most were ? and never heard from again.....bodies were dug up later all shot to death, most dismembered.

    As far as the male passengers, they made them all fight to the death gladiator style with bats and machetes. Those who refused to cooperate were beat over the head by Z40 aka Miguel Morales himself. The ones who survived were given the honor of being forced hitmen for the Los Zetas gang.

    Authorities say at least 200 people were killed

    It is a victory, but a small one at that. As long as they keep fighting the crime, they are only suppressing the result of the problem, not the problem itself.

    Yeah, not going to change much. May even exacerbate the situation. You saw what happened in Colombia when Pablo Escobar got clapped.

    Go ahead Texas. Secede from the US so you can find out how trill Mexico is. That ? will be called Texico within a year.

    I think that you're underestimating Texas. It's not like it has heavy artillery, forts and bases, and militias and a military of its own. And Texas by itself did fight and win its independence from Mexico.

    That was a different time and i don't think they have the level of training of deadly Mexican cartels and the Mexican military that fights them actively in urban cities. Half the cartel is in Texas running ? as it is and the Mexican population there will choose Mexico do to never being fully accepted by America. Those bases are filled with people from other states and that artillery belongs to the United States rather then Texas. I do see America coming to their aid like they do Israel.
