How a Cartel Hacker Tracked U.S. Officials Using Cameras and Phone Records
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
mardi 1 juillet 2025 • Durée 32:06
On today’s episode, Katarina breaks down a recently released Justice Department report detailing how the Sinaloa cartel hired a hacker in 2018 to track FBI personnel and informants in Mexico City. The hacker accessed phone data and surveillance cameras to monitor the movements of an FBI attaché and identify individuals meeting with U.S. officials. Some of those individuals were later targeted by the cartel. The episode explores how cartels are using digital tools to support their operations and what this means for U.S. law enforcement and intelligence efforts abroad.

How a U.S./Iran War Could Reshape Global Organized Crime
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
jeudi 26 juin 2025 • Durée 28:35
On today’s episode, Katarina breaks down how a potential war between the U.S. and Iran could ignite a parallel conflict in the shadows—one driven not by missiles, but by smugglers, cartels, and covert networks. She unpacks how chaos in the Gulf could ripple across Latin America, empowering groups like the Sinaloa Cartel to expand their reach. From fuel theft and arms diversion to drug trafficking and border infiltration, this is the war few are watching—but one that could reshape the criminal underworld and hit the U.S. homeland in unexpected ways.

Inside America’s Multi-Front Crackdown on CJNG
jeudi 22 mai 2025 • Durée 30:46
In this episode, Katarina unpacks the DOJ’s unprecedented April 2025 indictment of Maria Del Rosario Navarro-Sanchez—the first time terrorism charges have been brought against a cartel operative for providing material support to a Foreign Terrorist Organization (CJNG).
This marks a seismic shift in U.S. legal strategy, unlocking surveillance powers under FISA and introducing military-grade prosecutorial tools to the cartel fight. With insights from DEA El Paso and top legal analysts, Katarina explores what this means for future cases and the broader war on organized crime.
Also in this episode: the fallout from leaked ICE fentanyl lab photos in Sinaloa, rising tensions between U.S. and Mexican authorities, new tactics in financial warfare against cartels, and the growing list of Mexican officials under U.S. scrutiny for suspected cartel ties.

Public Sanctions, Private Crossings: Inside America’s Double Game with the Cartels
Saison 1 · Épisode 10
jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Durée 30:43
On today’s episode, Katarina examines the complex and often contradictory U.S. strategy toward cartel networks. While recent sanctions target businesses tied to criminal organizations—ranging from luxury spas to shell companies—internal records suggest that some cartel-affiliated individuals are quietly crossing the U.S. border with legal authorization.
This dispatch explores the murky space between public enforcement actions and behind-the-scenes agreements, raising new questions about how the drug war is being fought—and who is shielded from its consequences.

LA vs. ICE: The Protest That Shook the System
Saison 1 · Épisode 9
mardi 17 juin 2025 • Durée 29:11
On today’s episode, Katarina reports from the streets of downtown Los Angeles, where protests erupted in response to a wave of ICE raids targeting undocumented workers. But this isn’t just about one city or one agency. It’s about the evolution of ICE from a post-9/11 security force to a multibillion-dollar enforcement machine.
Katarina traces how LA became ground zero for resistance—again—while unpacking the quiet cross-border deals between the U.S. and Mexico, the expansion of biometric surveillance, and the profit motives behind mass detention. With field tape, interviews, and sharp analysis, this dispatch reveals how two governments are using immigration as a tool of control—and how the streets are pushing back.

CJNG’s U.S. Oil Pipeline: How Stolen Mexican Fuel Enters American Markets
Saison 1 · Épisode 7
mardi 10 juin 2025 • Durée 21:57
On today’s episode, Katarina explores how fuel theft—known as huachicol—has evolved from a local criminal tactic into a multinational enterprise with direct links to U.S. ports, businesses, and national security. As Mexico’s CJNG cartel diversifies beyond drugs, stolen crude oil and diesel have become major revenue sources, flowing from Pemex pipelines into the American energy market through a network of corrupt officials, shell companies, and fraudulent shipping manifests.
