The Trump administration announced on Wednesday the results from a massive federal operation targeting the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), which is one of the most notorious drug cartels in Mexico.

“Project Python marks the most comprehensive action to date in the Department of Justice’s campaign to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately destroy CJNG,” Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Criminal Division said during a press conference. “When President Trump signed an Executive Order prioritizing the dismantlement of transnational criminal organizations, the Department of Justice answered the call and took direct aim at CJNG. We deemed CJNG one of the highest-priority transnational organized crime threats we face. And with Project Python, we are delivering results in the face of that threat for the American people.”

President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13773 instructed federal officials to identify, interdict, disrupt, and dismantle drug cartels, which has been a top priority of Trump’s.

Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación has already reorganized and moved on. La Garra (the claw) is the new boss.

Got a feeling “reorganizing” is going to become a regular occurrence for those scumbags for the next 5 years.
And, God willing, for more than that if a Trumpian politician steps up to run after his 8 years are completed.

Keep cutting the head off and the head does replicate but eventually becomes totally dysfunctional and retarded. This is what killed the mafia.

Great! They’ll probably recover a pile more of those weapons donated to the cartel during “Fast and Furious”.

Trump doing to the Cartels what Obama/Jarrett/Rhodes/Dunn/Hillary/Kerry/Holder/Lynch didn’t do or didn’t do properly.

These criminals have been around all during the Obama regime. Why weren’t they taken down IN THE NUMBERS of this operation? (I know some cartel gangs were hit but nothing like this. Why?)

Anyone see news coverage of this?

Should be a huge headline story!
