>> yeah. >> when we've interviewed latin kings, everybody knows him and they say he's nuts. he's crossed the buffalo by himself and initiated fights with the latin kings without any weapons. >> if you're a rival gang member, he knows he ain't got much time left, he's going to take as many people with him as he can. it's about his neighborhood. he loves 24th. >> what's your name? >> trchukko. >> your name on the street? >> yes. >> look the bogey man. that's what he is. >> i'm the bogey. >> he's not a big talker, but he's not road us either. the big key to all this is the fact that something that simple, a phone call, there's a shooting on the block, something major is going on, we might be looking for somebody on the neighborhood. >> he'll remember that phone

call. >> he owes us now. >> is there anything you want to say to the camera? >> i say, man, burn me up, please. >> you have to know how these guys think, how they act, what they do what they do. i was lucky i left. i knew there was more out there. >> a neighborhood block can become a center of a young man's universe, so much so that he doesn't know anything else. that's the price of growing up on chicago's southwest side. >> you plugged? during the game? >> yes. >> who are you with? are you? over there by the day m-- >> i'm going to keep the knife. you're somewhere you're not supposed to be. it don't matter.

area. goes all the way down to 21st street. california and once you hit ridgeway it's 26. the violence is unreal over here. you live in a certain area right away, these individuals assume you're a gang member, you're affiliated. it's just guilty by association or guilty by where you live. >> you got to know who to look for. you got to know who drives what. if you don't know who is fighting who and who is shooting at you, you're done. if you don't know who you can and who you can't talk to, you're dying. >> little village represents more than just battle lines within the hispanic community. for decades it's been a beacon of opportunity. generations of immigrants, both legal and illegal, have come to work in family-owned businesses here. many of them along 26th street. >> 26th street is the second most revenues street in the city of chicago right behind michigan avenue believe it or not.

all small businesses but they definitely bring in a lot of revenue to the city. living in this area for as long as i did, the people are some of the greatest. this is the hard working older people. >> came to this country to make a better life. as you see in the news, life in mexico ain't all, you know, a cup of tea over there. >> you have a lot of illegal immigrants coming here who are hungry. they were born and raised in nothing but poverty, and they have that hunger to make money. so they go to any extreme, you know. >> that hunger drives some individuals to organized crime. >> grab him, huh? >> yeah. >> bring to your office. >> yeah. we'll do that later today. >> got information on hip p.m. >> at cook county jail investigator mike davis is seeking intel about a black market industry in little village.

>> he says when you walk down 26th street they have people kind of flashing. >> davis is in pursuit of a counterfeit ring that sells fake green cards and driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. it's one of many local i.d. rings that altogether reap millions in profits. >> what they'll do is this is like the universal sign for they call them mica which is like license or i.d. >> he's got the help of mexican born informants both on the street and inside the jail, including this man, whom we'll call joachim. >> referee: he says what happens is you give them a picture, and

they go -- takes them a couple hours to do it and when they come back, that's when you pay for your i.d. they always recommend a photo place as well. each person will make over $2,000, $2,000 every day. yeah. seven days a week. >> with an estimated quarter million illegal immigrants living in the chicago area, there's no shortage of customers. yet many of them choose to ignore where their money is really going. >> have your guy go get the cards with him, bring them back -- >> then we know where it's at. >> and meet pat somewhere else. >> we're trying to create a

conspiracy and get as many players that are involved as possible. he's going inside the laundromat now. he's going to go get it. who is going to dispute it, right? out our lives. one a day women's 50+ is a complete multivitamin designed for women's health concerns as we age. it has more of 7 antioxidants to support cell health. one a day 50+.

is this a trick to get my spot? [ male announcer ] break from the holiday stress. save on ground shipping at fedex office.

if you're selling i.d.s on the street you're paying a tax to the latin kings. they're paying the gangs so they have no issues on the streets and nobody tells anybody

anything and everything is safe. >> fake green cards, driver's licenses and social security cards, it's a market cornered by the gangs of little village. criminal intelligence unit investigator mike davis is on the trail of one i.d. ring in particular. as he gathers intel from a jailhouse informant, davis launches a sting operation with the cook county sheriff's vice squad that same week. they will use street informants in order to make contact with the i.d. ring. >> maybe we can do a loose tail on them. >> he said follow me. he's saying the same thing we're following me right now. okay. >> right now we're probably about a mile away from the jail. it's a straight shot. 26th street. >> he talked to the guy on the phone so now we're headed there. we're almost in front of the location. >> davis and commander mike

anton stake out a break frequented by phony i.d. vendors. >> they're sitting on this spot. >> yeah, they are. >> while an informant negotiates a deal with their target. >> he's talking to a guy right now. probably about 5'8", 220. blue shorts on, white gym shoes. >> can you get photos of the guy? >> 10-4. >> their goal, to make multiple purchases and build a conspiracy case. >> there's a lot of money being made there, and what's that funding? it's not like that money is going to go towards more fake i.d.s. it's going to go to other nefarious things they're doing. >> you're getting a green card and a license. looking at a real license and the one we purchased, you can't tell the difference. who is going to dispute it, right? >> it's got the hologram on it. >> the sleeve is good. >> it's real good.

>> the gang's money-making schemes don't end there. they're known to shake down local business owners as well. >> the gangs are probably running many more legitimate businesses on that street so, again, paying like a tax so they won't incur any problems from any of the gang members. >> this is something like out of the '30s or '40s you'd see like the italian mafia run. now it's the street gangs of chicago. it's organized crime essentially. >> some of these people are either intimidated or just fear them enough that they say, you know what? i'll just keep my mouth shut. all it is, it's a form of terrorism because that's what these guys work off of is fear and intimidation. if i have to work with a couple of them to try to slow them down, that's what i got to do. >> gangs like the latin kings and the 26 which call little village home can be notoriously difficult to infiltrate. that's why investigators at cook county jail try to flip key

players when they're at their most vulnerable. >> yeah. >> we're picking up a detainee, active member of a street gang, hard core. recently has been stabbed up by opposition multiple times in the stomach. what we're going to try to do is give us the information hopefully that can assist some cases out on the streets. >> you okay? you look better. you looked [ muted ] up the other day when i came to see you. nerve damage? >> they got me right here by my spine. >> houms they stab you? >> five. what neighborhood were you in? your ninder neighborhood or opposition? >> opposition. >> did you know them? >> i know the dude that stabbed me. >> so what were you doing after you get stand? >> yeah cause the first time he stabbed me, i couldn't really do

nothing. >> 15. >> why you got so much beef with those guys for? something personal? >> i nus hate them man. >> this inmate, dante, faces a battery charge that could put him behind bars for several years. like most detainees at county, he's still awaiting trial. he could cut a plea deal but only if he cooperates with authorities first. >> your face was on here one time, you know that? you listening to me. your face was right here. problem child. every one top targets. anybody that comes into the system, it's an area one target. i'm going to come and pay you a visit. guess what gang war gets you, stabbed up how many times? left for dead. you think he's not going to retaliate. what did he say, whatever stays on the street is going to be handled on the street. you know already he isn't going to tell me who did it.

what is the war about? >> all the gangs want our territory but we just fight for what we think is right, which is, you know, keep our neighborhood the way it is. it's just when other people come through and we have to use force, that's when it starts. >> what about family? don't you think of the families? nothing. >> it's not even in your head. to me it's kind of like being in the military. you know how they brainwash you. when you first hit land, basically when you first turn, they brainwash you not to care. >> is it a bragging right that a guy just went across to the opposition and shot up their block and they come back and brag about it 1234. >> uh-huh. pretty much that's what they do. >> i figure you're probably -- one of the number one guys that does that. >> i'm one of the guys they trust, yeah. >> so is it fair to say this guy here has probably beat -- >> he got bragging rights. >> he got bragging rights. a couple homicides under his

belt? a couple? >> he got a lot of everything. >> did you witness any of it? i can imagine you did, you just don't feel comfortable in telling me. i mean, how important is it -- is it to go home to your kids? how important do you really want to do it? do you want to go halfway or fully? right now you're in iffy-iffy. >> a quarter. >> because you still don't have no trust for me. but when you're sitting here a little bit of time you're probably going to say let me do it again. right now you're just feeling out the waters. but you can't feel out the waters because -- >> i'm waiting for it to get lukewarm. you say it like that. >> don't get found guilty because then it's going to be too late because i can't do nothing for you. >> while dante weighs his options, investigator mike davis

continues to work with paid street informants on a long-term sting operation. he and the sheriff's vice squad are targeting a counterfeit i.d. ring. >> right now we're just trying to identify the players and find out where they're printing the i.d.s. >> right there, right? is that where they met? >> one week after making their first undercover deal, an informant helps them set up a second buy. >> whoever has got an eyeball, call out whatever is going on. >> the more fake green cards, driver's licenses, and social security cards that they purchase, the stronger their case becomes. but this is not the first time that authorities have tried taking down a little village i.d. ring.

>> the same day. the same day. it didn't stop anything. >> there's been numerous raids at that location and to my knowledge they're still up and running, and there's more spots, yeah, people are telling us all the time. we try to look into all of them, but it's difficult. >> i know it got real hairy on the news here in the immigrant community. people were really angry that those businesses got shut down. it really didn't dissuade the community into thinking that anything really wrong was happening. >> yet davis believes that people might feel differently if they knew the whole story. >> how much coke did you get caught with? >> 132 kilos.

>> outside of the latin kings, who else would you drop off to? this right here is a hub. i'm talking tons and tons of drugs. >> little village is a very hot spot for the entire midwest. >> what cartel were you working for? >> these guys don't mess around. one thing you can depend on is that these will come together. delicious and wholesome. some combinations were just meant to be. tomato soup from campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. hurry in this friday for great deals. like the droid razr by motorola in cranberry, free. or a white 7-inch samsung galaxy tab 2, just $99.99. this friday, get the best deals on the best devices on the best network. exclusively at verizon.

you can drive trucks right through the border now without a lot of fear of getting caught. >> chicago being geographically located almost in the center of the country, it becomes a hub for narcotic traffickers to store their drugs in this area and distribute them throughout the entire midwest. originally when i started doing narcotic interdiction, the value of a kilo of cocaine at that time was about $47,000. now the average price of a kilo of coke is about $18,000 to

$19,000. so it's gone from maybe somebody carrying a suitcase with 30 or 40 pounds of cocaine in it to now they have to get truckloads of it up here. if you're talking about millions of dollars, you're talking about huge amounts of drugs that you have to smuggle. >> for the powerful mexican drug cartels, the only cross country trips worth taking are the big pay loads. smugglers drive their cargo 1,400 miles from the border to reach chicago where they offload at warehouses and depots controlled by the cartels. one key distribution hub, little village on the southwest side, and ironically only blocks away from the cook county jail. >> right around here is a hub for huge, massive quantities of drugs. i'm not talking about people on the street corners doing little bags here and there. i'm talking pounds and tons. this is like chicago stop and then from here it goes out.

the guy we're about to interview was running drugs. from what i understand he was dropping into chicago, detroit, indianapolis. he had like a whole run. i just want to find out exactly the system he used or the system his cartel used in order to get the drugs up here. first of all, how did you hook in with the cartel. >> i own a truck repair shop. >> where at? >> on the border. i was working on the trucks and they'd come in, pay cash, good money. just one thing led to another and one night the guy -- >> how did they approach you? >> very blunt. just straight up. >> you want to start driving trucks? >> do you want to make some dough? i'm making dough. what are you talking about? yeah, but, you know, take this load and go to memphis, tennessee. >> was it your first one? >> yeah. going to memphis. >> you hit more than one spot or just one? >> oh, yeah. >> how many drop-offs would you do? >> it depends. that one was just one drop. that was the first drop. >> what was your average?

>> seven, eight cities. >> at one time? >> on a run, yeah. i took the load to memphis. >> okay. >> 500 pounds. >> of weed? >> right. sure. that's all it was. a you haul trailer. >> you haul or penske? >> u-haul because you don't have to stop at scale houses. >> it gets you around the weigh houses, absolutely does. just looks like you're moving. >> just looks like you're moving. they would call me and say go get a medium one, that means a medium sized u-haul. i would go down and rent a medium sized u-haul. >> would you cross the border with these trucks? >> no. >> just pick it up from texas? >> take it to a motel and park the truck, leave the key on the front tire. i then would go to a restaurant or somewhere, eat, whatever. about three hours later they'd call and say it's ready to rock.

where am i going? you're going to the windy city. okay. every 1,000 pounds of weed you hauled, you made 70,000. i ran for these guys a year and i ran $5.5 million in one year. >> cash? >> yeah. >> what cartel were you working for if you don't mind me asking? >> i can't tell you, man. >> yeah? >> they'll dig up your grandma and kill her again, man. these guys don't mess around. >> this inmate is willing to share only so much about the cartels. he refuses to give authorities anything they could use to arrest anyone. that would no doubt get him or his family killed. for the same reason, whoever set him up isn't likely to testify against him in court. >> what do you think you're going to cop out? >> i'm not copping out. i'm walking out. >> so you're going to sit here for seven years? >> no. i'm going home next month, man. i'm going to beat this. >> you think so?

>> i know so. >> someone is going to have to take the stand, huh? >> as long as the detainee remains at county, davis will seek out his insights for working other smuggling cases. >> anytime you can talk to a guy lake that, i guarantee i will probably talk to him or two three more times after the next bust. what more was there that i didn't see? it's going to give me more things to look for. >> the narcotics being hauled into little village, among other hubs, keep street gangs all over chicago in business. the cartels give everyone an opportunity to move product as long as they can pay for it. >> they're not just distributing it to other hispanics. they're distributing it to white drug dealers, black drug dealers, to anybody that will buy their product they're selling it to them. >> what do you think they got up

here? >> let's find out. they're going to be going rocks and blows. >> if there's money to be made, there's going to be somebody there to step up. [ male announcer ] if you suffer from heartburn 2 or more days a week,
