But I can guess. Especially in "that part of the woods".
The cartels - actually mafias, Mexican crime familias - will continue to be more brazen, because they will interpret the lack of resistance as weakness.
Undoubtedly the few that do get nailed will fight it out in the courts where eventually they will get off far lighter than they should. Again, this will be perceived as weakness, and they will up the ante.
You can be sure that once there is a spotlight on this, the ACLU/SPLC/NCLR axis will try to run interference for them. If Siskiyou County sheriffs start pulling over suspected Zeta types, demonstrations will be staged and attorneys will descend screaming "profiling!".
The mafia types will laugh at it all and continue right on doing what they do.
What they would understand is massive and relentless force: these are foreign armed combatants conducting a war against America and Americans on our soil. And they will only respect ruthless, relentless force. "Disproportionate response" and all that. You can bet that there are people in the various State agencies who do understand that, but get nowhere when they try to suggest doing something about it.
I suppose Posse Comitatus applies. But certainly they could be fought with paramilitary elements of the DEA and ICE, as well as SWAT units of the Cal State police agencies. I don't see why the Governor could not declare an Emergency and bring in Guard units without violating federal laws.
Eventually it won't matter. They will have to, because the mafias will dare them to. If they don't respond, entire towns will come under de facto control by them.
They aren't afraid of the U.S. police anymore. They realize that the La Raza types and their fellow travelers in American government have intentionally hobbled any of the normal police methods of interdiction (just scream "racist!", that'll stop 'em...).
The only way now is to declare all out war on them and not let up until the last one is seen running South at the Calexico crossing.
The SPLC convinced Janet Napolitano to implement profiling against veterans and Constitutionalists.
We’ve lost a young man because of the Mexican Cartels today:
BAKER CITY, Ore. - A U.S. Forest Service employee is dead after being struck by a falling tree as he helped clean up a marijuana growing operation in eastern Oregon.
Forest Service workers and members of the Baker County Narcotics Team were removing a marijuana garden in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest southwest of Unity when the dead tree toppled and hit the man Thursday morning.
The Oregonian reports that the death is being investigated by federal, state and local authorities.[snip]
