Maybe in some suburbs, but throughout the whole of Chicago? Not so much.
I mean, can you picture a white criminal giving it large in the South Side? Or going about extorting a Puerto Rican neighborhood somewhere in West Chicago?

As for the cartels, they themselves don't really form a threat for any other criminal organization operating in any American city, be it the Mafia or a street gang. Mexican cartels move their drugs out of Mexico and from there on other US-based gangs handle the rest. They're not like the Colombians in the 80's that for instance in Miami had Colombian gang cells locally pushing drugs on the streets, extorting Colombian businesses, pimping out South American prostitutes and taking contract hits all over the USA. As far as the US goes, the Mexican cartels move the dope and for the rest connected American street gangs take over.
