If the Mexican cartels are concerned about President Donald Trump's plans for them, it sure didn't seem like it this night.
If only because someone who was worried probably wouldn't show a reporter the guns he'd just smuggled from the U.S. nor the fentanyl he was about to ship back north. Not to mention a safe house filled with migrants about to be crossed illegally at the border wall.
And yet that's what we saw, spending two nights with members of one the largest cartels in Mexico the week of Trump's inauguration.
They asked us not to share which cartel, but safe to say you've heard the name, as has Trump.
The president formally declared Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations via executive order and threatened to use the U.S. military against the groups. Deploying the U.S. military to the border is also meant as a deterrence to cartel smuggling.
The goal of our time with the group was to understand how the cartel is reacting to being squarely targeted by this new administration. The collective response was a shrug.
"We're not worried. This is day to day," one cartel member told us. "This is what we're going to do."

They should really be worried about the Mexican government.
Do we have to do it for them?
gotta go get that guy Pete. fast.
Pride goeth….
They should be scared
fafo
Until they start dying.
¿Qué, me preocupo?
English: What, me worry?
LOL!
They lie. If the US military took to the drug problem with the enthusiasm they did during Gulf War II, it wouldn’t be any problem at all.
So our press can embed with a criminal org, now labelled terrorist... yet keep secrets for them?
Terrorist organization = we can go into Mexico and kill them and blow up the fentanyl distribution centers whereby China targets American with chemical warfare.
We are just getting started, folks.
But need to have 100% control of the border first.
They asked us not to share which cartel,Why not? I thought they weren't afraid.
BTW, isn't that aiding and abetting?
Everybody bleeds.
“We’re not worried. This is day to day,” one cartel member told us. “This is what we’re going to do.”
Looks like some ABC reporters need to be waterboarded until they divulge the location of the hideout. After that summarily shot.
Oh, I’m sure they’re more than welcoming.
If not, they will be soon.
Cartels and CIA vs US Military
Let’s FAFO
Smells like bs. It is ABC after all.
It’s best to boast after taking your armor off. Sic ‘em Pete!
