President Trump just scored another huge win against the drug cartels destroying American communities. Mexico handed over 26 high-level cartel bosses to U.S. authorities on Tuesday. This proves that Trump’s tough guy approach to foreign policy gets real results.
The criminals include top leaders from the deadly Jalisco New Generation cartel and the Sinaloa cartel. One of them is wanted for murdering a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy back in 2008. These are not small-time drug dealers but major players who have brought violence and death to American streets.
Attorney General Pam Bondi praised Mexico for finally doing the right thing. She made it clear these 26 men will face severe punishment for their crimes against America. This kind of cooperation only happens when America shows strength and demands respect.
This is the second time in just a few months that Mexico has kicked out major cartel figures under pressure from Trump. Before Trump returned to office, Mexico was protecting these criminals and letting them operate freely. Now they are scrambling to cooperate with American law enforcement.
Trump designated eight major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations back in February. This move sent a clear message that America would treat drug cartels like the terrorists they are. The results speak for themselves as Mexico suddenly became much more helpful.
For years, weak American leaders let Mexico get away with harboring these dangerous criminals. Trump changed that by putting America first and demanding action from our neighbors. When America leads with strength, other countries follow our lead.
These cartel bosses have been responsible for flooding American communities with deadly drugs like fentanyl. They have killed American law enforcement officers and destroyed countless families. Justice is finally coming for these monsters.
This victory shows what happens when America has a president who fights for our country. Trump’s hardball tactics are working and keeping Americans safer from foreign criminals and terrorists.
