are now placing bounties on the heads of our agents.

Organized crime experts express skepticism at the claims.

and interviews a former Mexican cartel trafficker, two former DEA agents, and a drug policy scholar all said it was highly unlikely that Mexican organized crime groups

are directing US-based gangs to target immigration officials.

This is more farcical BS from the Trump regime.

This is like when Putin talks about denazification of Ukraine.

They come up with these pretexts to support their fascist ends, to support their invasions.

Now, we should talk about the real facts like,

let's not forget that back in may 2025 17 family members of the notorious cartel leader el chapo entered the united states in a deal with the trump administration mexico said mexico's security chief didn't get apprised of this information but just learned that sinaloa cartel family members were given the red carpet treatment and put right through the border from tijuana into the united states

El Chapo's ex-wife, Griselda Lopez Perez, her daughters and others right now, they are living in the United States.

We're giving sanctuary to cartel family members, apparently.

In addition, we've reported on this before, Reuters was the one to first break it.

Federal drug prosecutions have fallen to their lowest level in decades.

as Trump has focused his efforts on raiding Walmarts and farms and Home Depot parking lots and food vendors and factories and construction workers and has moved people away from actually going after the violent criminals and the drug dealers.

Federal drug prosecutions dropped 10% in 2025 as agents focus on non-violent immigrants.

high priority drug investigations have stalled.

Reuters reviewed nearly 2 million federal court records and found about 10% fewer people have been prosecuted for drug violations.

This is the slowest rate since the early 1990s.

And money laundering charges have dropped precipitously as well.

And we're seeing the reprioritization on the nonviolent individuals right there.
