The Gulf Coast HIDTA is situated between major drug corridors along the Southwest Border and lucrative distribution markets along the East Coast and in the Midwest. This has resulted in significant illicit transshipment activity, including drugs and aliens, by Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTO) on our interstate highway system. These same organizations transport illicit proceeds of their enterprise in bulk cash and weapons to the Mexican border. The interstate highway system that traverses the four states, including I-10, I-20 and I-40, are used as their primary corridors. They also intersect with four north-south interstates and countless subordinate highways to provide an effective transportation network for DTOs.
