Cartel ‘Army’ ENTERS New Mexico… US Marines ERASE ‘Invasion Force’ in 90 Seconds

President Trump's administration is reportedly preparing the military for potential lethal strikes against cartels operating on the U.S. southern border. This move comes as border incursions have seen an uptick, with an organized crime machine orchestrating crossings. The situation is complicated by allegations that the Mexican government is complicit with these cartels, hindering efforts to combat them and leading to widespread fear among law-abiding Mexican citizens.

Mexican Senator Lily Tees has spoken out, risking her safety to expose the cartels' pervasive influence in Mexico's government, police, and military. She claims politicians receive funding from cartels to gain power and protect their operations. While the Mexican president denies these allegations and claims control, critics suggest recent crackdowns might be internal power plays rather than genuine efforts to dismantle criminal networks.

The transcript highlights a sophisticated, well-organized cartel operation, evident in their ability to coordinate smugglers via platforms like Facebook and the high fees charged to migrants, which can reach $5,000. This cartel network not only profits from human trafficking but also allegedly helps the Mexican government by facilitating the movement of migrants, thus mitigating the financial burden of social welfare programs and supporting their tourism-dependent economy. The U.S. military's potential intervention is framed as a response to this ongoing threat, despite potential loss of Mexican cooperation.

MS13 Gang Member and Cartel Coordination [4:36]

• An MS13 gang member evaded police but was quickly connected by cartel handlers to new smugglers via Facebook.
• The smugglers picked up the gang member and were caught the next day, demonstrating a high level of coordination.
• This illustrates a "well-oiled crime machine" operating behind the scenes.

And what this reveals is a sophisticated level of coordination behind the scenes, which is all part of a welloiled crime machine.

This point emphasizes the advanced operational capabilities and interconnectedness of criminal organizations involved in border crossings.

Texas Department of Public Safety Operations [5:16]

• The transcript mentions being embedded with the Texas DPS's Elite Brush team and their ATV units.
• During an operation, two men were found to have breached the wall; one, believed to be a guide, slipped back into Mexico, while the other, a Mexican national, attempted to evade capture.
• Later, a group of four was encountered: two women from Colombia, one from Guatemala, and a 20-year-old from Mexico.

This section provides a glimpse into the on-the-ground efforts of law enforcement in intercepting individuals crossing the border and identifies the nationalities of some individuals encountered.

The Cartel Empire Behind Border Crossings [7:38]

• The current border security measures and a president who cares more about border security have made crossing harder.
• However, the individuals crossing are not just impoverished people seeking a better life; a cartel empire profits from these crossings.
• Cartels charge massive fees, forcing migrants to work off debts at criminal businesses in America, often failing to find the "American dream."
• Americans who pick up migrants might be complicit, knowingly or unknowingly, as the payments may not be from legitimate sources.

But what we're dealing with here is not an impoverished populace just trying to come here for a better life. Behind the scenes of these crossings is a cartel empire.

This highlights the criminal enterprise aspect of border crossings, moving beyond the narrative of purely economic migration.

Alleged Alliance Between Mexican Government and Cartels [12:21]

• The MO, or Morena party, is accused of being financed by cartels, providing money to politicians to gain office and power.
• In return, the Mexican government is accused of protecting the cartels.
• This alleged protection is why President Sheinbaum (referred to as "Shane Bound") reportedly doesn't want strong U.S. leadership to help defeat the cartels or for the world to know the situation in Mexico.

The party has financed has given the cartels have given so much money to the to these politicians to get into office to get the power. So they protect the the Mexican government protects the cartels.

This points to a deep-seated corruption within Mexico's political system, where criminal organizations allegedly fund and influence political power.

Mexican President's Actions and Potential Motives [14:22]

U.S. Military Intervention and Loss of Cooperation [18:38]

• The Trump administration has directed the military to prepare for lethal strikes against cartels, with readiness by mid-September.
• Military sources indicate these actions might proceed without Mexican government approval.
• There's a question about whether losing Mexican cooperation is worth targeting high-value cartel leaders, though the transcript argues current cooperation is minimal as cartels remain active.

And if that cooperation gets lost, the question is, is it worth it to have done it? Uh is targeting one high-value target or even a few or even 10 or many high-value targets. Is that worth the loss of Mexican cooperation?

This discusses the strategic calculus of U.S. military action, weighing potential gains against the risk of alienating Mexico.

CIA Reconnaissance Operations in Mexico [23:32]

• A New York Times report indicates the CIA has increased reconnaissance operations over Mexico.
• The speaker argues that any country would find foreign soldiers operating on its territory without permission inappropriate.

This section touches upon intelligence gathering and the sensitive nature of foreign military or intelligence operations within another country's borders.

Migrant Journey Costs and Cartel Wristbands [26:03]

• Migrants, including three women wearing cartel wristbands, paid approximately $5,000 each to the cartel for their journey.
• This price is significantly higher than the usual $2,000-$3,000 for migrants from Colombia and Guatemala.
• The wristbands serve as proof of payment to the cartel.

This detail underscores the financial aspect of the cartel's operations and the explicit evidence of their involvement in facilitating migrant travel.

Rio Grande Valley Sector and Public Safety Risks [27:27]

• The Rio Grande Valley sector is identified as the busiest along the border, with more crossings this month than anywhere else.
• Even one "gotaway" (an individual who successfully evades capture) is considered a potential public safety risk.
• These risks include not only gang members but also individuals from dangerous South American organizations and even from the Middle East, brought across by gangs with printed wristbands.

This highlights the significant activity in a specific border sector and raises concerns about the diverse and potentially dangerous backgrounds of individuals crossing the border.

Cartel's Infrastructure and Operational Freedom [29:24]

• The cartels possess the infrastructure, time, space, and safety to conduct operations like flying drones over the U.S. border whenever they choose.
• This freedom suggests they are not living in fear of law enforcement actions, unlike individuals who should be running for their lives.

This point emphasizes the level of security and operational autonomy enjoyed by the cartels, indicating a lack of effective deterrence.

Cartel's Role in Supporting the Mexican Government [30:38]

• Mexico spends approximately 12% of its GDP on social welfare programs, which is less than California.
• Mexico receives about 15% of its GDP from tourism, which covers its social welfare.
• If Mexico had to care for the estimated 20 million illegal immigrants who passed through over four years, it would be bankrupt.
• The cartels, by bringing people out of Mexico and into the U.S., help the Mexican government stay afloat and operate by alleviating this potential financial burden.

This provides a critical economic perspective, suggesting a symbiotic, albeit illicit, relationship between the cartels and the Mexican government's financial stability.
