The Republic of Texas
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and what would become the Republic of California all cooperated in the final effort to deal with the Mexican drug cartels. Or the Drug Lords as many called them due to the amazing publicity of Dixie and her little misfit gang of Texas Tech students and teachers. Texas and California devoted the lion’s share of the troops, though New Mexico and Arizona made their presence known as well. They killed every cartel member they could find, and then tracked down and killed the bosses themselves. The Drug Lords. It was a scorched earth campaign where any large or small drug cartel, every affiliated gang, and even the politicians and police that supported them were shot as many times as it took to kill them before the military went on in search of the next target. They were the Drug Wars, not the Drug Police Actions.
