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.
The Justice Department (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) revealed that over 600 arrests had been made as a result of Project Python, which started late last year.
Project Python marks the most comprehensive action to date in the Department of Justices 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 Trumps Executive Order 13773 instructed federal officials to identify, interdict, disrupt, and dismantle drug cartels, which has been a top priority of Trumps.

Why are these animals being arrested? I prefer a more permanent solution for these murderous thugs.
If these cartels had been in/from Iran, Obambi would have organized massive fundraising and given them another $150 billion smackeroos.
Cutting off deep state funding?
Probably because there’s not a lot of difference between a high ranking cartel member and a mexican government official.
Im thinking that while the country and the world is preoccupied with corona he is taken additional steps behind hte scene to make some corrections, you go mr trump, you go!
Could this possibly have something to do with Mexico’s “threat” to close the border?
Yeah, as if the CIA hasn’t been the biggest drug distributor on the planet—for decades.
99, missed it by that much.
Netflix. Recommended to me by a FReeper. Great program
The protective army of the democrat deep state being dismantled
Guns, darn it!
bingo
Not only were these criminals around during the Obama regime, but he sent them automatic weapons (Operation Fast and Furious) for the purpose of affecting the Mexican presidential election.
A lot of Dem pockets on the West Coast are going to take a significant hit. That’s a very good thing. Funding for war mongering nationalist groups like :” LA RAZA” will dry up.
Ever since the Sandinista/Contra days in Nicaragua, and the great adventures of Ollie North, the Dems have been funding themselves with copious amounts of drug money vie leftist South American governments and drug cartels.
President Trump is taking them apart, building a wall, rolling up their networks in the middle of their outright hatred of him.
Gotta love it! The president is in their heads 24/7.
Thank YOU President Trump for taking drugs OUT of our communities.
A permanent solution, indeed. It ought to be an automatic death sentence if you’re found guilty of a drug crime & proved to be in a gang or cartel.
Of course - and if La Garra is taken down, it'll be next gang up. The War on Drugs is really a war on supply and demand, and cannot be won.
Get Smart.
“This is what killed the mafia.”
The FBI disagrees that the mafia has been killed:
‘the mob has shown itself to be resilient and persistent. Arresting and convicting the hierarchies of the five families several times over has not eradicated the problem. [...] Even more of a myth is the notion that the mob is a thing of the past; that La Cosa Nostra is a shadow of its former self. [...] we also know that when a boss or underboss goes away for a time, that vacancy is filled with an acting boss or underboss.’ - FBI Assistant Director Janice K. Fedarcyk (https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/newyork/press-releases/2011/statement-by-assistant-director-in-charge-janice-k.-fedarcyk)
The FBI doesn't like competition.
