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.”

Like Hunter’s laptop, if the media just ignores it, then it doesn’t exist.

So they’ve infiltrated our government? Do they feel offended? Racist? Cartels are cartels, gays are homosexuals, politicians are crooks and the media is communist.

Cartel was always a misnomer—I always preferred “criminal gangs”.
So lets call them “Mexican criminal gangs”.

I keep saying the Democrat policies are being implemented for the drug cartels. Defund police, open borders, etc.
