Anyone driving from Mexico into the United States should take extra care when crossing the border in light of a new smuggling technique being utilized by drug gangs.
In recent months the Sinaloa Federation and the Arellano Felix cartel have taken to using “mulas ciegas” (blind mules) to inadvertently traffic drugs across the Tijuana-San Diego border. There were no cases reported in 2010 or 2011, but the Public Security Agency (SSP) in Tijuana has reported 15 incidents so far this year.
