The comments come in response to testimony from U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Chief Anne Milgram on Mexican cartels as part of a hearing in the U.S. Congress. She added Sinaloa and CJNG have a presence in 21 and 19 of Mexico's 31 states respectively and that the DEA is mapping how both have spread around the world.
