A Mexican drug cartel used death threats to force a tribal leader to back out of testifying to Congress this week, according to another tribal leader who did show up to tell lawmakers just how much power the drug lords have accumulated.
Jeffrey Stiffarm, president of the Fort Belknap Indian Community in Montana, said he didn’t want to name the fellow leader who backed out, but he said the threat seemed real and credible.
“One thing that we really seem to overlook all the time is the threats, the death threats we get from cartel leaders,” he told the House Natural Resources Committee. “We had the tribal leader from Montana, that declined to testify here today because he received death threats that he was going to testify.”
The committee held a hearing Wednesday to examine cartel operations on reservations.
The revelation that cartel threats had interfered with lawmakers’ business shocked the members.
“The cartels have threatened them with death?” asked Rep. Bruce Westerman, chairman of the committee. “That’s horrible to think that an American citizen has been threatened by a foreign cartel if they come to Congress and testify about what they’re doing.”
The committee said it had contacted other potential witnesses who declined to testify for safety reasons.
Mr. Stiffarm’s community is in northern Montana, far from the southern border. But he said the Mexican cartels control the drug activity and everything around it.
“We’re fighting a losing battle and the cartels are winning. The drug dealers are winning. They’re overrunning our reservations,” he said.
Jessica Vaughan, an expert at the Center for Immigration Studies who filled in as a witness after the tribal leader backed out, said the threats were a worrying yardstick for the cartels’ growth and reach.

If there was ever a reason for a military incursion, the problem of the cartels is it! Send in a commander like “blackjack” Pershing. The cartels are to the USA like Hamas is to Israel. Park a carrier in the gulf and dare the Mexican “ government “ to try to interfere. 8 weeks , tops.
This has infiltrated all three branches of our government. They will bribe you if they can, kill you if you don’t comply.
It’s time to declare a Clear and Present Danger.
Murderous Mexican cartels in Montana, Somalis in Minneapolis, MS-13 from Maryland to Long Island, Jihadists in Michiganistan , all

I am telling you folks I live on the border and I have seen the most corrupt evil gang heartless members ever to exist on the face of planet earth. They’re more evil than satan demon hordes. The cartels controls ALL of Mexico and it’s coming here to the US. They control the presidency and president they control the representatives they control the banks they control the law enforcement, they control it ALL!!’ If you don’t pay your mordida they hunt you down and break down the doors to your home and execute the whole family, including babies. They are ruthless they’re evil and they’re demonic. And now they’ve made their way all the way to the highest powerhouse in the United States. MONEY GREEDY BASTARDS SWAMP..it’s all about the money and collusion with the FBI CIA AND DOJ!One thing I will ask of freepers here is PRAY FOR President Trump like never before because believe me I know what I am speaking of when I tell you pray for the safety of President Trump. I would not doubt for one second that the DOJ FBI and the CIA would be more than happy to help the cartel. Take care of Trump. Please I’m not an alarmist or making things up, ….only God and pray can protect him because our government will not.
Its the fentanyl, cartel has taken over Native American with it.
Just curious, but what did Roberts do to cause this?
Oops, a big slip up-——he didnt think that one through.
Mexican president on tv talk threatens the US if we dont send
another $20 billion tax dollars to conniving Latin America.
And what, he was asked, would happen if the U.S. were to refuse Mexico’s blackmail threats?
Obrador abruptly snapped:
“The flow of migrants will continue” - a stark unequivocal admission that he, Obrador himself, has all the power to stop, or turn on, illegals pouring into the U.S.
This is what’s driving the Mexican greedster.
He figures its worth the risk........the more migrants
they escort here here means more remittances back to Mexico.
How much in remittances alone does Mexico receive from the US?
SAN DIEGO (Border Report—Feb 8, 2024)
More than $63 billion in remittances were sent to Mexico in 2023,
with most of the money arriving from the US, according to
Banxico, Mexico’s central bank.
The figure is a 7% hike from the previous year.
Not to mention billions is US foreign aid we continually send this troublesome county.

Why not shoot all the illegals, as they enter?
Without those corrupt breakfast tacos in Mexico, this invasion of America by the garbage of the world would not have been able to happen. MEHICO IS NOT OUR FRIEND NO MATTER HOW MUCH CHIPS AND SALSA THEY BRING YOU WITH YOUR TEQUILA.
We’re gonna need more helicopters.
The open border cancer has metastasized.
Treasonous John Roberts shut down, shouted down in chambers, the Supreme Court duty to the election articles of the US Constitution (and every other court followed suit)
There is no question about this.
