From Mariane Angela’s article at dailycaller.com:
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said on Fox News Thursday that federal authorities seized one of the largest drug precursor shipments ever headed for the Sinaloa Cartel.
The Trump administration ramped up its cartel crackdown after President Donald Trump authorized military strikes Tuesday, with the latest operation off Venezuela’s coast killing 11 alleged Tren de Aragua members. In an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Pirro said her office — working with Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, the FBI, and the DEA — intercepted 1,300 barrels of methamphetamine precursors shipped from Shanghai and bound for Mexico.
“We intercepted on the high seas, brought these 1,300 barrels, enough to fill twenty-four 18-wheelers,” Pirro told host Jesse Watters. “We brought them into the Port of Houston. Now, unfortunately, every day there are millions of dollars made by these cartels.”
Pirro praised Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for formally designating major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, saying the move gave law enforcement new tools to target those organizations’ financial networks and disrupt supply chains.
Now THAT’S fighting the drug cartels. Take away their means of production…and if you can identify their shipments on the high seas don’t hesitate to blow it, and the cartel members transporting it, to smithereens.
Don’t like Donald Trump’s personality? Sick of his bloviating, self-promoting? Put off by the fact that almost every statistic he voices is wildly exaggerated to make him look good?
Me too.
But let’s also remember that he is also the guy who closed the border, is deporting the illegals, and seriously (FINALLY!!!) doing something about the drug cartels besides putting out a press release.
May he continue in those efforts and have success every day.
