Thanks to a combined effort of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Lawrenceville Police Department, East Point Police, and the Georgia State Patrol four Mexican nationals have been arrested in Gwinnett County, GA this week for their connection to a Mexican drug cartel. These illegal aliens were found with 5 million dollars worth of methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin laced with fentanyl as well as $850,000 in cash and weapons located in a storehouse in the metro Atlanta area.
According to NBC 11 Alive, DEA Special Agent in Charge Robert Murphy said the investigation into the cartel started last year. Friday's drug bust of the men's home occurred after a tip came in on Thursday evening.

"The investigation into a Mexican cartel began in 2017 and Murphy said it was the collaboration between several departments that made the arrest and then search warrant possible.
Agents were working surveillance on what they described as a tire shop on Metropolitan Pkwy in Atlanta when they saw two vehicles leave. One was a U-Haul and the other was a Nissan.
They followed the U-Haul to East Point where officers pulled it over. Murphy said that's where they found the meth.
They followed the Nissan to Lawrenceville where officers pulled it over. After arresting the suspects in the car, they secured a search warrant for a home. Inside they said they found heroin and money inside a false wall."
According to Murphy, one of the illegals is a previously deported convicted felon while two others have ICE detainers. Although authorities know which cartel these men were working for, they declined to comment which organization was responsible for this massive drug load. Murphy said it was “very large cartel" and “We know who they are, we just don’t want to (say) who they are. But we’re getting ready to take them down.
“That’s $5 million in drugs on the table and nearly $1 million in cash (from Thursday’s raid),” Murphy added. “There’s going to be some explaining to do.”
But, according to the Dims like Ocasio-Cortez, and Gillum in FL, we need to abolish ICE.
Once again, being an illegal alien should be used as cause to make and crimes charged with more serious (committing crimes while already in the commission of a crime) and thus any punishments meted out harsher.
Make way, 4 dead men walking.
That one ass clown in AZ recently threatened ICE agents for doing their job.
The proverbial worm doesn’t need to turn, it needs to feast on the hopes, dreams and careers to Leftist politicians, leaving them nothing.
If only.
Take that money and put it toward the wall.
I recall when this type of thing was mostly isolated to the southwest. Now it’s coast to coast, from CA to Georgia.
This is what we get after decades of pre-Trump era corrupt government, who never had any intention whatsoever of securing our borders.
“We know who they are, we just don’t want to (say) who they are. But we’re getting ready to take them down.”
You just hit them for $850k in cash and $6 million in drugs, and then you tell them you’re taking them down soon. What, you don’t think they’re smart enough to frecognize that bust and they’ll ignore the warning you just gave them?
It was racist to arrest them selling the drugs Americans refuse to sell..
“It was racist to arrest them selling the drugs Americans refuse to sell..”
If only Americans would refuse to buy the drugs.
In the drug world, if you lose the drugs or the money, there are no excuses. You get a couple of days to replace them, and then you die. And not in a good way.
Ah, I thought you were referring to what might happen in our judicial system. My bad.
These are not illegal aliens. They are FOREIGN INVADERS.
Nice haul. How many have we missed?

This kind of stuff is very common in Gwinnett county, GA.
It has been happening since Jorge Bush was president. The Gwinnett police are very good at spotting people transporting drugs. I used to think that they were sitting on the side of the road trying to collect revenue from speeders, but this time of year it is a major traffic area for drugs.
[But, according to the Dims like Ocasio-Cortez, and Gillum in FL, we need to abolish ICE.]
ICE stands in the way of their drugs, human trafficking and, in general, votes for Democrats.
that’s alot of love
Btw, Bush was an open borders globalist insider who hoodwinked millions of ignorant so called conservatives. Tens of millions, some of the biggest waves of illegals that entered our country, did so during the Bush era.
Btw, for every bust they get, probably twenty times more gets through. It's why we needed secured borders decades ago.
