EXCLUSIVE: DEA Officials Directed To Stop Saying ‘Mexican Cartel’
Daily Caller ^ | 12 Aug, 2021 | Jennie Taer

Posted on 08/14/2021 5:11:53 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials have been instructed to “avoid saying ‘Mexican cartel’ or discussing the Mexican government, or LE cooperation with Mexico” when speaking with the media, according to an internal email exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The reason for the shift in messaging is unclear, but comes as Mexican drug cartels continue to surge drugs across the southern border and adopt more advanced manufacturing and trafficking tactics. The DEA and the DOJ did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s multiple requests for comment on the email. Officials at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been directed by their headquarters to stop using the term “Mexican cartel” when speaking with the media, according to an email exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation from a government official.

A portion of the email sent mid-July stated: “Also, we need to now avoid saying ‘Mexican cartel’ or discussing the Mexican government or LE cooperation with Mexico. Please continue using ‘drug cartel,’ TCO, DTO, etc.”

If you want to know who's in charge, look at who you can't “insult”. This ban on using these terms is VERY troubling.

“Cartel” is still a Spanish word isn’t it?

Better call them “unlicensed pharmaceutical conglomerates”.

Mexican = a nationality

It is not a term that = race, color or ethnicity

I don’t have the profit totals to compare but I suspect we can go with “Bigger Pharma” since they’ve branched WAY out beyond cocaine, marijuana and heroin.
