All things "southern border" cartels designated as terrorists

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I'm following this situation And am hopeful for where it may evolve.

Trump has declared the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. The gloves are off, that is a major policy shift and with that designation it's open season.

This story just came out today. In addition to the usual civil engineers and MPs to control the border and augment the border patrol or build the wall.... Theres a brand new development that seems to coincide with president Trump's designation of cartels as terrorist organizations. We are now deploying combat troops from the 82nd and 10th.

Here are the first Army and Marine Corps units heading to the border

US Northern Command has identified the units to which the first 1,000 soldiers and 500 Marines deploying to the southern border are assigned.

This is exciting.

I figure that President Trump will find a reason to fuck the cartels up before this is over.

In fact, I wouldn't doubt that it's already as good as done, but it just hasn't actually happened yet.

It will be interesting to see this administrations response when shots come from across the border this time.

I'm happy to see some movement on this. Between this and the illegals (which coincides with this).

Hopefully the steam roller keeps on chooching.

 

[Bigfoot]

This would probably be a good time for the cartel leaders to retire and enjoy their wealth. Otherwise, they might meet JDAM face to face and boom.

Ask, and ye shall receive.

Not exactly what I was referring to. This incident is unfortunately a frequent occurrence along the boarder.
Let’s see what happens when troops or BP are fired upon by Mexican PD or cartels.

I will be pleased when the drug dealers and cartels bodies are stacked so high we no longer need a wall on the southern border. Cartels are evil and worse than some terror organizations IMO. It’s about time this was done and this was one of the best things Trump has done so far. Now to see where it leads will be interesting

I agree. I'm happy to seeing what is being thus far with the illegals too.

We have plenty of cartel members in the USA.
Those are the ones we must eliminate first.

If I had to guess, that circle covers lots of folks in Washington. Random drug tests for Congress!!

I think Hohman was only appointed because Vlad Tepes wasn't available.

Maybe put Hohman in charge of deportation, and Vlad in charge of border security.

So, ship them to Mexico and then send in Seal Team 6.

Nice tidy way to eliminate Posse Comatitus as an obstacle.

Unless somehow I'm mistaken, and I do take the words used as defined and not by subjective context; Labeling the Cartels, Drug Runners, and Coyotes as "Terrorists" places them in the category of Enemy Combatant, and the use of the US Military. it's weapons, and tactics may be fully implemented the same as though we were in the Sandbox taking on the Taliban, or of Terrorists planting Bombs right here in the United States.
Bottom line is while I expect there will be Rules of Engagement to follow, the use of Lethal Force is now good to go...."Lock your Bolts to the rear and insert one, thirty round magazine into the Rifle, check your Safety and close the Bolt Chambering a Round, and prepare to fire."

They are an Enemy of the United States, and while some could be American Citizens, on the other side of the line they are considered foreign combatants and not subject to the Rights Guaranteed American Citizens on American Soil...This is an animal that hasn't been seen here since about 1812 Foreigners at out Border intent on hostile and illegal actions, and while it would be reprehensible and ostensibly illegal to shoot unarmed (obviously non-threatening) Civilians trying to cross, they should be dissuaded with non-lethal, crowd control, and stepped escalations only as required to maintain security while discouraging with prejudice the illegal crossing into the US.
War is an ugly and messy business, but nothing says obey me like a bloody head on a post.

It puts them firmly in the same category as Osama Bin Laden and opens up all the same options used there.

Mexican cartels targeting Border Patrol agents with kamikaze drones, explosives amid Trump crackdown: report

Mexican drug cartels have planned attacks on U.S. Border Patrol agents with kamikaze drones and other explosives to combat a crackdown by the Trump administration at the southern border.

This is from the other thread. This plane tracks and pinpoints communications, they are usually followed by smart bombs. Trump aint playing, The Mexican pres agreed to send 10k troops to the border. The Mexicans fear these cartels, no way she would put troops there without air support. These cartels have never been opposed like whats coming. Adios, muchachos!

Mexican Authorities Arrest Cartel Boss “El Ricky” After Trump Tariffs Force Mexico to Secure Border​

Ricardo González Sauceda, a leader of the Mexican Cartel del Noreste, was arrested in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Monday after the Mexican President agreed to immediately work with Trump to secure the border.

The arrest of cartel leader "El Ricky" signals a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle against organized crime, raising questions about U.S.-Mexico cooperation…

"El Ricky" probably voluntarilly surrendered, he'll be safer in prison and the Mex gov will release him when the heat dies down.

I have no love for the cartels. But I am concerned we could create another Vietnam right on our southern border. Sure the cartels are just plain evil. The fact remains there is too much money involved for the drug trade to go away. There are too many assholes in this country that take drugs and keep the demand high. Trump is winning on too many domestic issues, the last thing we need is a quasi permanent war with Mexico and it's resulting blowback in the US. If you think the violence will be limited to the remote parts of Mexico where the cartels reside then I have a bridge to sell you.

these cartels have been established across this country for decades. If things got serious we could have chaos . The mindset of our law enforcement needs to change. Arresting someone because of a squirrel rather than going after the drug trade for example. I have a friend that a drug house was started on his residential street. They went to the police and the answer was . Nothing we can do about it. ..... Makes one wonder if someone is being paid off. ... There is big money n the drug trade.

I have always maintained the drug problem like that is due to corruption. If the average junkie or meth addict knows where to get drugs than a reasonably intelligent police force should be able to find out. And if they remain in place it is with the permission of the force. Someone is getting paid off.

Posse Comitatus is not a legal obstacle once they have been declared as an enemy/belligerent. American military can defend America on American soil.

Have you seen the latest?

El Salvador has offered to host any deported prisoners we care to send them, for a price.

The El Salvadorans might be a lot of things, but they sure know how to run a prison.
