LOS ANGELES—White supremacist groups in the United States could be being financed by Mexican drug cartels as a result of ties between the two groups, reports La Opinión. Members of Aryan Brotherhood reportedly are collaborating with members of the Mexican Mafia and the Tijuana cartel in both state and federal prisons, and in the California-Mexico market.
"The cartels are looking for partners, bridges, to connect their activities inside the United States, and the supremacists have become an important force on the streets and inside prisons," according to Larry Gaines, gang expert and president of the criminal justice department at San Bernardino State University.
