If they are terrorists, law enforcement has no business taking the lead. It’s not a law enforcement issue. They play a supporting role, not the main effort.
Call forth the Texas militia. Hunt them down and kill them and their associates with no quarter offered. That is the only way, and our Founding Fathers displayed their genius by making the militia the ONLY institution in the US Constitution being “necessary” for a free state.
Stop screwing around, conservatives. The Founders gave us the answer to the test.
Very interesting, and very difficult to do. Cartels are a fascinating group of entities that are criminal gangs but organized as a sort of NGO. They penetrate all levels of government with the palo y pan methodology. Possess skill sets superior to both Mexican law enforcement and most of the military and probably are superior in this way to Texas law enforcement and the Texas NG and militia. Their operation in the gray zone between private and public makes them difficult to isolate, Unless the governor thinks he can get away with some sort of martial law regime in parts of Texas actually defeating the cartels is a virtual impossibility.
