Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered concrete proof Monday that President Trump's decisive action to designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is already paying massive dividends for American security.
In a brief but powerful statement, Gabbard revealed that her intelligence apparatus has directly assisted in locating and arresting multiple cartel operatives since Trump's landmark designation took effect. The DNI's announcement comes as yet another validation of Trump's America First approach to national security - something the Biden regime failed to accomplish in four disastrous years.
"Following President Trump's designation of several cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, the intelligence community has successfully assisted in the location and arrest of several high-value individuals," Gabbard stated, though operational security prevented her from releasing additional details about the arrests.
Trump Delivers Where Biden Failed
This is exactly the kind of results-oriented leadership Americans voted for in November. While the previous administration treated cartels like a minor border nuisance, Trump recognized these criminal organizations for what they truly are: terrorist groups waging war against American communities through fentanyl trafficking and human smuggling.
The cartel terror designation unleashes the full power of America's intelligence and military apparatus against these murderous organizations. It's a game-changer that allows our agencies to track, target, and eliminate cartel leadership with the same intensity we've used against ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
Gabbard's intelligence background and anti-establishment credentials make her the perfect person to lead this fight. Unlike the deep state bureaucrats who spent years covering for the Biden family's foreign entanglements, Gabbard brings real military experience and genuine patriotism to the role.
"This is what winning looks like, folks. Trump makes the tough decisions, and his team delivers results."
The timing couldn't be better as Trump's mass deportation operations ramp up nationwide. With cartels now officially designated as terrorists, every resource of the American government can be brought to bear against these enemies of our people.
How many more cartel kingpins will be behind bars before Trump's first 100 days are complete? Based on this administration's track record so far, the cartels should be very worried indeed.
