Federal officials arrested 11 members accused of being members of the Juarez Drug Cartel who they say are responsible for distributing cocaine and marijuana in the Chicago area. According to WBBM, "Between December 2007 and July 2008, the cocaine was sold wholesale to for $20,000 to $22,000 per kilogram, while marijuana sold for $500 to $1,050 per pound".
