Commerce, culture, and crime are linked in a series of complex transactions and connections. Some analysts call it the hyperborder due to its dense human, cultural, and economic interconnectedness.[i] Along this border, 14 sets of twin cities (28 total) link the United States and Mexico. Each of these bi-national urban settings essentially forms a bifurcated metropolitan area. People, commerce, and crime on each side of the border are deeply connected. Familiarity and connections provide opportunity for cross-border drug trafficking and crime. The El Paso-Ciudad Juárez twin cities are home to the transnational Azteca gang network. The gang is known as Barrio Azteca in El Paso and Los Aztecas in Ciudad Juárez.
