...circumventing Tijuana and going right to Los Angeles without paying the Arellanos' fee--as proved by last month's record U.S. seizure of 13 tons of cocaine being ferried overseas by Ukrainians. No one is suggesting that the era of the Tijuana cartel is over, but as DEA agent Chavez says, "We're definitely pushing back...
