Mexico is setting up an elite unit of officers to fight the drug cartels who will be both vetted and trained by the US. She is also going to open shelters on Inauguration Day.
Under the threat of tariffs and invasion, President Sheinbaum wants to show her administration is not soft on drugs and migrants. Her government has seized drugs from the Sinaloa cartel, and her security minister is in Sinaloa to oversee efforts to take back the state.
We should do that with California and New York.
Mexico is in talks to set up a unit of elite security officers who would be vetted and trained by U.S. law-enforcement officials for operations against criminals in Mexico, according to Mexican officials.
“There won’t be an invasion,” Sheinbaum said at a recent news conference. “It’s not going to happen.”
Despite her assurances, some Trump allies have made military action against the cartels a common refrain, including his choices for national security adviser and defense secretary: Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.) and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, respectively. Trump campaigned on ending the flow of fentanyl to the U.S., where it accounts for the most overdose deaths of any drug, with about 76,000 fatalities in 2023, according to U.S. government figures.
Mexico’s ministers aren’t sure if he’s blustering or serious. His spokesperson responded.
“Unlike the sitting president, Joe Biden, President-elect Trump believes his utmost priority is the safety and security of American citizens, and he will, in fact, take the necessary actions to uphold this responsibility,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.
It’s a plus if they all think Trump is a little crazy. I hope they think he’s mad. They listen to him because they don’t know what he will do. He’s crazy as a fox.
An “elite unit” to keep the cartels abreast of US plans to counter their operations, ?
Mexico cannot have it both ways. Claudia either works WITH us, or she is against us. Being Jewish doesn’t get he a free pass. Never underestimate Donald Trump.
Yeah, right… As opposed to what Mexico is actually doing right now, which is running lookout for the cartels, spying on US border enforcement and warning their cartel BFFs any time our guys are coming their way.
The Mexican cartels require a military response, not a law enforcement one.
…makes me want to get back into the fray…was a city cop then a Highway Patrolman…years and years ago…am a young 80 and miss the action…the body isn’t what it used to be but the burning in my stomach to catch the bad guys is still there…I would give anything to at least try to pull a shift or two or more again and I bet there are many other mature cops out there that would do the same thing if given a chance…nothing more satisfying than locking up the dredges of society that ruin it for the law abiding citizens…
Just stop with the lies. Not one person believes this. Close the border!
An elite unit full of soldiers…who work for the cartels. To assist US agencies…who work with the cartels. What a fu&^^ng joke.
Yeah, great… Everything the US plans will immediately be transmitted to the cartels.
I am NOT buying what they are peddling. Just like the congress and the CIA, there is too much money to be made looking the other way.
If you want to get rid of the Mexican drug cartels,
get rid of the CIA. The CIA IS the Mexican drug cartel.
Get rid of democrats you will get rid drugs.
Also about 95% of gun violence would magically disappear.
Vaj-RINOs too.
The FBI shouldn’t investigate anything above the level of jaywalking, and they probably can’t do that properly.
And the Israeli Moosad middlemen
We need to do the same thing now, that Teddy R. And the rough riders did back then!
There is nothing “elite” in a country that feeds primarily on beans and rice. Just sayin’.
Loosiana?
What took these Mexian assholes so long? They waited until hundreds of thousand of women and children were either killed or put into sexual slavery and hundreds of thousands of Americans died from fentanyl. Push these illegal aliens back across the border and let the Mexican assholes deal with it.
Three letter agencies work with the cartels.
Unless they use unaffiliated agencies not much will get done except a few staged events.
Drones go hunting like they do in other country’s we don’t need Mexico close the borders and there crappy products filled with herbicides
Thus proving the wisdom of Trump and the use of tariffs as bargaining chips.
