Roger Guevara, Chief of Operations at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, said the DEA has noticed the increased Colombian presence in Mexico. He said that because of President Vicente Fox's successful disruption of drug cartels from Tijuana to the Gulf of Mexico, "the Colombians have been forced to establish new contacts in Mexico to oversee the importation of illicit drug shipments to the United States." Michael S. Vigil said, "The Colombians are the masters of the universe in terms of violence and intimidation, and they have educated the Mexicans very well."
