The Trump administration starts “full frontal attack” on a fatal border cartel

The new sanctions of the Trump Treasury Department are a “full front attack” on one of the most deadliest southern border cartels, a local border official told Fox News Digital.

The Ministry of the Ministry of Finance for Foreign Assets (OFAC) has approved two high -ranking antitrust members del Noreste (CDN), Mexican citizen Miguel Angel de Anda Ledezma and Ricardo Gonzalez Sauckeda.

CDN was one of eight cartels and transnational criminal groups, which were called “foreign terrorist organizations” by the Department of State as “foreign terrorist organizations”.

According to new sanctions that have been announced this week, all property and interest in real estate from De Anda and Gonzalez in the United States or in possession or control of the US persons are blocked.

During the announcement of the sanctions, the finance minister Scott Bessent said that the department “work towards the entire removal of cartels in order to make America secure again” and that the Trump government “blames these terrorists for its criminal activities and hideous acts of violence”.

“CDN and its leaders carried out a violent campaign of intimidation, kidnapping and terrorism and the municipalities threatened on both sides of our southern border,” said Bessent. “We will continue to cut off the ability of the cartels to maintain the medication, money and weapons that enable their violent activities.”

Paul Perez, who heads the chapter of the National Border Patrol Council in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley, told Fox News Digital, although the border robbery of the Trump government has dramatically reduced the illegal crossings, the cartels, including CDN, dramatically, a threat to life and the security of American citizens who live on the border.

“The threat from cartels is still there,” said Perez in an interview with Fox News Digital. He noticed that “the thing on the cartels is that they are very sophisticated” and explained that they started using advanced technologies such as drones to carry out their operations.

“They are not the managers at the road tube level,” he said. “You have many people on your side who have been in this industry for a long time. You know how to get your products in motion. You know how to convey your product.”

In Mexico, said Perez, the cartels check the border and “act across the entire border, while the Mexican police and the military cannot stop them.

He said that cartel weapons along the border often lead to cartel members who flee north to the United States, where “they will do everything to get away and come back. And if that means damage to American citizens, they will do that.”

When it comes to CDN, Perez said “they conduct grotesque behaviors” such as statements and kidnappings and “will harm anyone that gets in their way” regardless of whether they are American or in any other way.

“What I can tell you about the Noreste cartel are no different from all other cartels out there, the Sinaloa cartel. They are all fatal cartels. They all traffic in fentanyl. They all traffic in drugs.” He explained.

By organizing the management of CDN, the Trump government effectively weakens the cartel by creating a power vacuum that will lead to infighting that will further exploit the strength of the organization.

“The cartels will definitely feel it,” he said. “So it is a full front attack from the United States.

“This is the protection we bring to the border that we could not bring under President,” he added.

“President Trump has said on the election campaign path and since his office that he would do everything he can to protect the United States, protect their citizens and ensure that nobody can harm near our country. And he does.

“We want to decimate the antitrust activity that takes place in the United States. So he did what he said he would support it 100%.”
