IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — A massive drug operation with ties to a Mexican drug cartel resulted in the arrest of six immigrants in the country illegally.

Six men are behind bars, accused of running an elaborate drug trafficking operation in Mecklenburg and Iredell counties.

The man the suspects are tied to is the main rival of El Chapo's drug cartel.

The operation was working under the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

The human rights group Justice in Mexico reported last year that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel started gaining power after El Chapo's arrest.

Federal officials said more than 1,800 grams of meth were delivered from a luxury home in Statesville in August and October of 2018.

The person who lived there, Oscar Rangel-Gutierrez, is an alleged high-level cartel member.

El Chapo was arrested and these illegals are tied to his biggest rival. That means they are part of the biggest cartel.

BUTT...if these criminals had been arrested and made bail in Mecklenburg County, just next door, the Mecklenburg County Shire Reeve would not hold them for ICE. (This is the a##wipe I have to go to to get my CCW signed!)

Isn’t Charlotte-Mecklenburg County a sactuary city for illegal aliens?

Why yes, yes it is, by at least one practical measure.

Charlotte just became a sanctuary city

This drug bust just highlights the practical results of allowing large numbers of illegal aliens residence.

Didn’t they get the Democrat memo? They are to stay in the border areas so they can be counted.

The boom of young people moving to this state might be hurt if large drug populations start to take hold.

DACA was the perfect vehicle for the cartels to take over the distribution end of the drug business. Inquiring minds would love to know the pricetag to buy off DC. (Obama would get the major part but who got paid to “grease the skids”?)

They're just running the drug cartels that Americans aren't willing to run themselves.

It's a love thing.

Folks. I live in Alabama. I’ve livED in SoCal for a few years. Here in Bama there are a shocking number of (presumed) illegal mexicans. I say presumed because so many dont speak a lick of English. Last weekend a mexican woman in a full size suv totally screwed her attempt at an automatic carwash because she had no clue to not steer and dont break. Workers had to emergency stop the thing three times and they told me that they couldnt communicate with her because they didnt speak spanish.

I dont see any other such foreign group here. And oh yeah I know of one large family that is from something-Salvador.

ICE should pick up their families and everyone within a 5 mile radius of their homes. Guaranteed 99% are illegal.

We’re thinking seriously about moving out of state. Taxes have gotten ridiculous.

The guy had a good point in his letter-to-the-editor. The letters following his...not so much...just the usual crackpots. Shows me why we killed our subscription to the Charlotte Disturber MANY years ago.

I remember so far back that Mexican gangs run wild in North Carolina would have been an oddity
