"They're workers. I liken them to terrorist cells," Zumbo said. "Certainly, they are doing work for the cartels."

If that is so, then you can bet whichever one of the cartels fund these guys have a commander in Phoenix collecting the vig these guys generate.

BTW, good catch Anonymoose.

#7 Has the DOJ filed charges against the police officer who made the traffic stop yet?

Sadly I am not kidding.....

#8 Not to worry, the judge will let them go. We all know the Phoenix PD are racist and this traffic stop was not legal. The only people you can pull over is white guys and moms in SUVs.

#9 "a T-shirt emblazoned with the logo of a local law-enforcement agency's special-operations unit," If they are invading homes disguised as cops they should throw away the key.

#10 If that is so, then you can bet whichever one of the cartels fund these guys have a commander in Phoenix collecting the vig these guys generate.

The payments could be (and likely are) made in Mexico. Less scrutiny. Possibly a coordinator, but even then that could be south of the border.

Officers contacted two men outside a trailer home and called out another five from inside the brown single-wide trailer, all of whom cooperated with the investigation without resistance

A indication that the police were dealing with pros.

#11 Pappy: When Sinaloa Chihuahua,Chihuahua commander Elizabeth Rodriguez Griego was murdered last August, it came out that Griego gave to go ahead for the abduction of current Chihuahua Governor Cesar Duarte's nephew, which ended with the nephew being murdered after resisting the abduction; I was left with the impression that cartel subcommanders like Griego are hands on kind of people. They intervene when there's a fat target, they order their teams to take on a specific target and they generally know what is about to take place within their area of operation.

The murder of Duarte's nephew appeared to be a political crime, a signal, if you will, that the Sinaloa Cartel can own him so he better line up at the payee window.

I suspect that if this group has Sinaloa ties, that a subcommander is probably in the area giving orders, selecting targets, etc.

#12 The upshot to all the above is that at least when there's a Sinaloa Cartel operation in an area, there's usually a commander on site. Apparently, Shorty doesn't like details too much, but he likes controls, so he delegates authority to site commanders like the late Ms. Griego.

If this was a Sinaloa operation, it's pretty likely there's a site commander nearby.

#13 It's possible, bad.

The question is still whether they were freelancers working for a particular cartel, or any number of cartels, or just organized crime groups. Kidnapping for ransom is big business in Phoenix and has been for a few years.

Most likely we won't see any specific information for months, if ever.

#14 Pappy - it would seem that free-lance hit teams would be dangerous for internal security, mistakes, uncontrollable, etc. I suspect they are aligned, but not full-time soldiers
