Gabbard described an operation in which intelligence provided to Mexican law enforcement led to the arrest of an alleged Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) associate known as “La Diabla.” The individual is accused of leading a criminal network involved in human trafficking, illegal medical procedures, and the sale of newborns.
irector of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard praised recent U.S. and Mexican law enforcement operations that she said were supported by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) through intelligence sharing.
According to Gabbard, actionable intelligence from the NCTC assisted both U.S. and Mexican authorities in the arrest of a Sinaloa Cartel leader known as “El Plato” in Juárez, Mexico, along with three alleged money launderers linked to his organization.
She also cited a separate operation in which the NCTC reportedly worked with the U.S. Marshals Service to capture another Sinaloa Cartel member accused of managing large cocaine shipments and laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars in drug proceeds.
Gabbard further described an operation in which intelligence provided to Mexican law enforcement led to the arrest of an alleged Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) associate known as “La Diabla.” The individual is accused of leading a criminal network involved in human trafficking, illegal medical procedures, and the sale of newborns.
“Her whole money-making operation was centered around luring pregnant women, performing illegal C-sections, harvesting organs and selling newborn babies,” she said.
“Mr. President, it’s your leadership that has made all of this possible,” he added, referring to the operations that led to those arrests.

"Having conceived an opinion highly favourable to General Pickens, I invited him to repair to this City in order that I might obtain from him such facts & information as would be essential to an offensive Expedition against the refractory part of the Creek nation, whenever Congress should decide that measure to be proper & necessary. The Constitution vests the power of declaring War with Congress, therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject, and authorised such a measure."

U.S. Troops, Ecuadorian Cops Take Down Cartel Jalisco Network in South America
U.S. Troops working alongside Ecuadorian law enforcement carried out a series of raids in the South American country ——targeting a network of the Mexican terrorist organization Cartel Jalisco New Generation——. The Mexican cartel had established a presence there to funnel drugs from Colombia, through Ecuador, into Mexico, and eventually into the United States.
The raids took place early Thursday morning in eight separate cities in Ecuador, where authorities managed to arrest 30 cartel members operating in that country.
