Trump has only been in office for two months and already he has the Mexican drug cartels and all the sex traffickers running scared and even the New York Times agrees.
On drug trafficker told the
paper that he is now afraid that the U.S. military will become a threat to his own family!
A barrage of arrests, drug seizures and lab busts by the Mexican authorities in recent months has struck the behemoth Sinaloa Cartel, according to Mexican officials and interviews with six cartel operatives, forcing at least some of its leaders to scale back on fentanyl production in Sinaloa state, their stronghold.
The cartels have sown terror across Mexico and caused untold damage in the United States. But here in Culiacán, the state capital, the dynamic seems to be shifting, at least for now. Cartel operatives say they’ve had to move labs to other areas of the country or temporarily shut down production.
All this did not come about until Trump came to office.
The paper added:
Cartel members said the only reason the government hadn’t really fought them until recently was because they’d bought off enough officials. One cartel cell leader said he doubted that this new effort would seriously damage the cartel because the group could ensure its survival by bribing key officials.
“There are always weak points,” he said, “there are always loose ends we can get to.”
It seems obvious that Trump is looking for any reason to do just what the cartels are afraid that he might. He is likely salivating at the chance to unleash our terror hunters to sweep into the traffickers’ territory and nail them.
They are very right to worry.
They were also very right not to worry at all when Biden was in office.
