Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Charged With Terrorism For First Time Ever In USA

[RAMROD 118,161]

“To the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel: You are no longer the hunters. You are the hunted.”

A news conference inside the U.S. Attorney’s San Diego office on Tuesday began with that dramatic opening from U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon, who was announcing the unsealing of a federal indictment charging multiple alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel with narco-terrorism and material support of terrorism.

It's the first time in U.S. history that drug traffickers have been charged with terrorism.

The indictment follows an executive order issued by President Donald Trump that designated the Sinaloa Cartel and other drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement, "The Sinaloa Cartel is a complex, dangerous terrorist organization and dismantling them demands a novel, powerful legal response. Their days of brutalizing the American people without consequence are over — we will seek life in prison for these terrorists."

The indicted defendants include a father and son, Pedro Inzunza Noriega, 62, and Pedro Inzunza Coronel, 33, who are described as "key leaders" of the Sinaloa cartel's Beltran Leyva Organization.

A recent raid on multiple locations controlled by the father and son resulted in "the largest seizure of fentanyl in the world," with over 1.65 tons seized, according to prosecutors.

The BLO faction was also described as using violence to support its operations, including "shootouts, murders, kidnappings, torture and violent collection of drug debts."

The father and son, along with five other alleged high-ranking BLO members charged in the indictment, remain at large. All seven are facing drug trafficking and money laundering charges, while the father and son additionally face terrorism charges.

Good thing that this happened.

Bad thing that this is only done out of convenience for MAGAs narrative.

Good.

 

But also, this technically isn’t the correct use of the word since there is no political objective with such acts.

Storming the Capital to interfere with certification of an election is a correct use of the word. Or when certain people tried to intimidate voters on their way to cast their ballot is also a correct use of the word.

I know this sounds like good news, but it's actually a very slippery slope, as it could be ground work for the US to potentially invade Mexico under the guise of fighting a terrorist organization.

This is such a dangerous situation. Hopefully they don’t insist on conducting “military operations” in Mexico. We know for a fact that the US is very willing to “accidentally” kill innocent civilians in the name of counterterrorism. It would be a disaster.

 

We also know that the US is that obsessed with obtaining rare earth minerals. Northern Mexico is full of it.

The Trump administration struck a deal to allow them into the US. On the surface this sounds nice, but it's bad because they could be doing this to shift/take blame to protect their cartels. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
