Trump Administration's 'Elimination' Strategy Against Cartels and Crime

Operation Against Cartels and Gangs

• 🎯 The Trump administration has launched a sweeping, unprecedented, and historically successful operation to arrest, prosecute, and remove foreign drug cartel members from American soil.
• 💡 On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order designating drug cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.
• 🤝 A Homeland Security Task Force, comprising ICE, FBI, DOJ, DHS, and intelligence agencies, was created to eliminate the cartel presence in America.

Task Force Achievements

• 📈 In just a few weeks, the task force has made the largest number of arrests of cartel leaders, operatives, and gang members in American history, exceeding 3,000 arrests.
• 💥 This includes members of violent groups such as the New Generation Cartel, Sinaloa cartel, LNFM cartel, MS-13, and Tren de Aragua.
• 💰 In addition to cartel arrests, the administration has apprehended over 120,000 dangerous criminals nationwide since January 20th.

Comparison to Previous Administrations

• ⚠️ The previous administration is criticized for allowing cartels and their operatives to infiltrate America freely, leading to more bloodshed than all other terrorist groups combined.
• 🚫 Trump stated that past administrations tried to mitigate the threat, but his objective is to eliminate it entirely, not just mitigate.
• 🌊 The Biden administration is accused of surrendering the country to cartels, allowing nearly 100% of border infiltrators to be personally approved and assisted by dangerous criminal organizations.

Seizures and Future Goals

• ⚖️ Under the Trump administration, cartels are finally being treated as the core national security threat they represent.
• 🚨 In recent weeks, the task force seized over 70 tons of deadly narcotics and more than 1,000 illegal guns.
• ✅ The operation is described as the most successful anti-cartel and anti-gang operation in American history, with a commitment to continue until the threat is fully and completely eradicated.
