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.

I remain confused regarding the United States relationship with our “friend” and neighbor to the south, Mexico. Mexico is not a good neighbor. And they are not our friend. Friendly governments don’t allow caravans of foreigners to freely pass through their country for the express purpose of illegally invading their friendly neighbor’s country. Friendly countries don’t act indifferently to drug and human trafficking across their borders. While fences help make good neighbors they aren’t enough. Our friend to the south, Mexico, must be properly held accountable for their indifference. The problems at our southern border will never be solved until punitive measures are taken against our neighbor, Mexico. Mexico must be convinced that fixing the border problems is truly in their best interest. Friends don’t mistreat friends.

...the arrest of six immigrants in the country illegally.

If you are in this country illegally, you ARE NOT AN IMMIGRANT!
