The Dark Wire’s eye-opening new documentary, Not in Vein,illustrates how Mexican drug cartels utilize the porous border with America to their advantage, making billions of dollars and killing Americans at record rates in the process. The documentary provides a powerful testimonial to securing the southern border to combat the opioid crisis.

The 44-minute documentary, Not in Vein, which begins on Arizona’s “super-highway for drug smuggling,” is narrated by investigator Sara Carter, who travels from the U.S.-Mexican border all the way to Ohio to learn about the harsh realities surrounding the opioid crisis that has been plaguing the U.S. for decades.
A 24-minute version of the documentary is available on Vimeo:
The dominant cartel, Sinaloa, is equipped with U.S.-based groups that protect drug houses and lead illegal drug distribution throughout the country. These groups are armed, and utilize the southern border as a means for trafficking enormous amounts of narcotics into America, seemingly with ease, traveling through U.S. Ports of Entry.
The Sinaloa Cartel is the major supplier of heroin and opioids in the U.S. market, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Robert Arce, Breitbart Border And Cartel Chronicles Team reporter, has worked for both federal and local law enforcement, and spent three years in Mexico dealing with the international narcotics trade. “Whether it’s human smuggling, or drug trafficking, you don’t cross through those routes unless you are paying to those cartels,” said Arce, “if you’re a smuggler and you’re not paying, and you get caught, the sentence will be death. They will kill you.”
“More than 72,000 people died last year from overdoses,” Carter told Breitbart News, “and those numbers are expected to increase as narco-terrorists like the Sinaloa Cartel, and nation’s like China, continue to traffic Fentanyl and other drugs into our nation.”
With an unsecured border in the south, nowhere in the U.S. seems to be safe. The plague of narcotics and drug overdoses stemming from distribution by these foreign cartels is not isolated to border communities; it has spread, decimating communities across the nation.
In Ohio, the documentary highlights Heidi Riggs, an opioid addiction activist who lost her 20-year-old daughter to a drug overdose.
“This is domestic terrorism and we need to demand that our leaders in Washington declare the Mexican Drug Cartels enemies of the state,” Riggs told Breitbart News, “The Mexican Drug cartels have weaponized drug use and they are killing Americans. This is why we call it terrorism in the film.”
Riggs is likely correct. By declaring the Mexican drug cartels terrorist organizations, the Mexican government is faced with two options: it either cooperates with the U.S. in fighting the cartels, or the U.S. will have to do it alone. Other efforts to stop the cartels have proven futile.
Derek Maltz, a former Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the DOJ, DEA, and Special Operations Division (SOD), also told Breitbart News that the Department of Defense must take this step in securing the US southern border.
“Law enforcement alone can’t resolve this unprecedented problem which has escalated out of control by greedy cartels,” said Maltz, “The Mexican cartels are killing at record levels, dumping humans in acid, and chopping off limbs while they push poison all over the streets of America.”
“It’s time we designate them exactly what they are, foreign terrorists. By calling them what they are, the U.S. can utilize the powerful laws and incredible resources to destroy their operations. Enough is enough and the U.S. needs to seal the border and keep the criminals out.”
As stated in the documentary, most of the heroin coming into the country is produced in Mexico, and it is the Mexican drug cartels that control the production and distribution of these drugs. The DEA also considers the Mexican drug cartels the greatest threat to the United States.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions held a press conference recently, announcing a “whole of government effort” to take down the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). “We will continue to carry out President Donald Trump’s order to dismantle transnational criminal organizations,” said Sessions, “They are in our crosshairs.”
The White House stated last year that the opioid crisis causes America to endure a death toll equivalent to the September 11th terrorist attack every three weeks, as tens of thousands of Americans die every year due to drug overdose.
It is evident that the United States needs to take a more serious, hardline approach on its southern front, for the sovereignty of the nation is at stake.
An unsecured U.S. border not only aids illegal immigration and human trafficking, but it is this very same negligence that is in part responsible for the unprecedented number of overdose deaths of Americans across the nation.

Sara Carter: U.S. Should Declare Drug Cartels Narco-Terrorists

Fox News journalist and investigative reporter Sara Carter joinedBreitbart News Daily Friday on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 to talk about the new documentary on opioids, Not in Vein.

Carter, who co-produced the eye-opening documentary, spoke about what it truly means to have an unsecured national border. Carter spoke about how the negligence of America’s government emboldens drug cartels by not addressing the issue of border security, allowing for illegal drug distribution to take place in massive quantities, adding that the DEA says drug cartels are the greatest threat to the United States.
According to a recent poll, immigration is considered the most important issue for Republican voters in the 2018 midterm elections.
“Let’s just start with simple numbers here,” began Carter, “The annual deaths from overall drug use in 2017 was 72,287 — that’s what the CDC had. Of those, 49,000 deaths were involving opioids, the majority of which were coming from across the border.”
The opioid Fentanyl in particular is a major problem, the vast majority of it coming from China, either by mail or through the utilization of the porous U.S. southern border.
“They mix these chemicals in backroom trailer labs, or in labs in Mexico or inside the United States, and they create pills,” said Carter, “Pills that look just like the pharmaceutical pills you get — and you can’t tell the difference between a real pill and a fake pill. The point is, the fake pill is heroin and Fentanyl, and the first time you take it, you could die.”
Carter also spoke about how the border security issue has nothing to do with being against immigrants from South America, and that, in fact, Mexicans also suffer due to powerful drug cartels ravaging their communities.
“This is not about targeting people from other places or saying we want to shut down the border, because people are anti-immigrant,” said Carter, “My mother was an immigrant, I speak Spanish fluently, I travel to Mexico all the time. The Mexican people are also in danger — they are prisoners in their own communities, some of them, because of the drug cartels.”
“[Making the documentary] taught me. I thought I knew enough about this, I did not even know the half of it until I started doing this film,” added Carter.
Robert Arce, a Breitbart Border And Cartel Chronicles Team reporter who is also in the film, said something to Carter that she found to be very insightful.
“[Arce] made a profound statement — he said we don’t even know where the border is anymore,” affirmed Carter.
“Right now, we’re seeing the border move so far to the north, we don’t even know where it is,” she reiterated, “We know that Sinaloa Cartel has basically divided Ohio up and set up shop across the United States with distribution centers.”
The drug problem in the United States has gotten so big, Carter says, that many people tell her they don’t know where to begin in tackling it. The investigative reporter says the first step is paying attention to what’s actually happening, so that the United States can finally declare these foreign cartels what they really are: narco-terrorists.
Declaring Mexican drug cartels terrorist organizations would give law enforcement agencies more power in going after these criminals.
“We know this is very important to the President, and we hope that it is just as important to every American out there — with or without a child — that wants to help save this nation from the potential disaster that’s already on its way,” concluded Carter.

Sessions: ‘Whole of Government Effort’ to Take Down Drug Cartel, ‘They Are in Our Crosshairs’

Attorney General Jeff Sessions held a press conference on Tuesday with officials from the Department of Justice, U.S. Treasury, and State Department to announce a “whole of government effort” to take down the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).

Sessions said the drug cartel is “one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations on the face of the earth and it is doing unimaginable damage to the people of this nation.”
Sessions said although it was formed only nine years ago, it has established its network around the world, including in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
“CJNG has a presence in cities across the United States from San Diego to Omaha to Roanoke to New York City to Orlando,” said Sessions, adding that the cartel is believed to traffic ten tons of cocaine and methamphetamines into the United States every month.
“They are in our crosshairs,” Sessions said. “This cartel is our top priority.”
“Every single day these cartels cross our borders, disrespect our sovereignty, deal poison and death to Americans all across this country,” Sessions said.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Acting Administrator Uttam Dhillon of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), F.B.I. Deputy Director David L. Bowdich, Director Andrea Gacki of Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Kirsten D. Madison of the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Executive Associate Director Derek Benner, and Chief Don Fort of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) joined Sessions for the announcement, which included 15 indictments against people and entities in the cartels.
“Today, the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of California, the Northern District of Illinois, the Southern District of Mississippi, and the Eastern District of Virginia are announcing 15 indictments, some recently unsealed, against the following CJNG leaders, financiers, transporters, and sources of drug supply,” the press release about the announcement stated.
Since April 2015, OFAC has announced nine designation actions totaling 63 separate individuals and entities in Mexico tied to the CJNG and the Cuinis organization.
“Treasury has strategically targeted leaders of CJNG and the Cuinis organizations, as well as complicit family members, criminal operatives, and businesses under their control,” OFAC Director Gacki said. “Our goal is to disrupt the cartels’ finances, which are overwhelmingly generated from drug sales that occur in the United States, and deny them access to the U.S. financial system.”
The State Department also announced the largest reward ever approved for the Narcotics Rewards Program — $10 million for information leading to the arrest of “El Mencho.”
“Additionally, the Department of State is announcing a Narcotics Rewards Program reward for information leading to the arrest of high ranking CJNG member Erick Valencia Salazar, aka, ‘El 85,’ in the amount of $5 million,” the press release stated.
DOJ also cited “the daily coordination between the Government of Mexico with the U.S. Department of Justice, Treasury, and State to target this violent drug cartel that has a direct impact on the lives and livelihood of millions of citizens in the United States and Mexico.”
“DEA has a strong partnership with the government of Mexico that is demonstrated in the relentless pursuit of the violent leadership of the CJNG cartel,” Dhillon said. “We will continue to work closely with our international partners to bring [cartel leader] Nemiso Cervantes aka El Mencho to justice and dismantle drug cartels like CJNG.”
“We will continue to carry out President Donald Trump’s order to dismantle transnational criminal organizations to protect the people of this country,” Sessions said.

Top Gulf Cartel Boss Arrested in Mexico near Texas Border

MATAMOROS, Tamaulipas – The Mexican Army arrested one of the top leaders of the Gulf Cartel who is responsible for most of the violence along this part of the Texas border for the past year.

A team of special forces troops with the Mexican Army, working with Tamaulipas authorities, raided a home in the ritzy Residencial neighborhood where they captured Petronilo “Panilo or M-100” Moreno Flores, the leader of one of the Gulf Cartel factions fighting for control of Reynosa.
After capturing Panilo in a smooth operation without any shootouts at 124 Paseo de Los Fresnos, Mexican authorities flew Panilo to Ciudad Victoria to face extortion charges.
Panilo is the leader of one of the Gulf Cartel factions fighting for control of Reynosa following the death of Juan Manuel “Toro” Loza Salinas. Panilo and his forces were trying to take control of the region, however, the groups loyal to Luis Alberto “Pelochas” Blanco Flores known as “Los Metros” are countering the efforts. The struggle is causing regular shootouts, mass executions, mass graves, and the incineration of victims in clandestine crematoriums. Since the fighting began in May 2017, approximately 600 have been killed including cartel gunmen, police officers, troops, and innocent bystanders. To win the turf war, Panilo joined forces with the Gulf Cartel boss in Matamoros, Jose Alfredo “El Contador” Cardenas, who provided gunmen known as “Los Escorpiones” and “Los Ciclones.”
As a response to the violence, the Tamaulipas government added Panilo to a “most wanted” list offering a large cash reward for his capture. U.S. authorities joined Tamaulipas in a partnership so the countries could coordinate intelligence. Authorities arrested five of the 10 bosses initially named in the program.
In late August, agents with the Nuevo Leon State Investigations Agency, working in conjunction with their Tamaulipas counterparts, arrested Panilo’s top rival at one time, Luis Alberto “Pelochas” Blanco Flores, in Monterrey.

U.S. Offers $10M Reward for Mexican Drug Kingpin

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the State Department doubled the reward for the capture of Mexican drug kingpin Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes aka “El Mencho” to $10 million. 

“El Mencho,” is the alleged leader of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) – one of the largest, most dangerous organizations currently operating in Mexico with a heavy presence in the United States.

The U.S. government, through the Departments of Justice, Treasury, and State, announced a series of measures to target and dismantle the CJNG this week. Those include the doubling of the reward and the unsealing of 15 indictments.
CJNG is one of the most powerful cartels in Mexico and the Department of Justice considers it to be one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations in the world — responsible for trafficking tons of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl-laced heroin into the United States.
The Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion was founded in 2011 and is growing in size and strength rapidly. Today, the DEA estimates the CJNG exerts influence in 23 of 31 Mexican states, including key drug production and transportation corridors. The organization’s disciplined command and control, sophisticated money laundering techniques, efficient drug transportation routes, and extreme violence make it a force to be reckoned with. The cartel expanded globally into Europe, Asia, and Australia as well.
“We will continue to hammer transnational criminal organizations like the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or CJNG,” said Attorney General Sessions.  “The DEA has said for three years in a row that Mexican drug cartels are the single gravest drug threat that this country faces. President Trump recognizes this, and the day I was sworn in as Attorney General, he ordered me to dismantle transnational criminal organizations, including the cartels.”

Migrant Families, Minors at Texas Border Hit ‘Unprecedented’ Levels, Say Feds

Border Patrol officials in South Texas expressed “growing concerns” as the flow of migrant families and unaccompanied minors hit “unprecedented” levels in 2018.

“As the Rio Grande Valley Sector continues to experience an unprecedented flow of family units and unaccompanied children, the increase in identified fraud cases is extremely concerning,” Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr. said in a written statement. “The trend in these fraud cases is an effort by smugglers to exploit ongoing U.S. immigration policies and procedures. Agents have already discovered over 60 fraudulent cases in the first two weeks of the new fiscal year.”
The numbers of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) continue to increase in the nation’s busiest Border Patrol sector, officials said. As an example, the sector reported the apprehension of a large group of 30 migrants on Monday evening. The group, composed of FMUAs and UACs, traveled to the U.S. from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
The following day, McAllen Station agents came upon another large group of 68 migrants. The group’s membership comprised of families and UACs from Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
With one month to go in Fiscal Year 2018, agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector apprehended 54,498 FMUAs and 21,557 unaccompanied minors, according to the August Southwest Border Migration Report issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September. These apprehensions represent an increase of 15 percent over last year’s apprehension of family units. This single sector apprehends more than 60 percent of all migrant family units in all nine southwestern Border Patrol sectors. Agents in the sector also apprehended nearly 50 percent of all UACs arrested along the border with Mexico this fiscal year.Bob Price serves as associate editor and senior political news contributor for Breitbart Border/Cartel Chronicles.

US Announces 15 Indictments Against Mexican Drug Cartel

October 16, 2018 Updated: October 16, 2018   

WASHINGTON—The Justice Department announced 15 indictments against members of one of Mexico’s largest drug cartels on Oct. 16.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions unveiled the charges against members of Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or CJNG, which is accused of trafficking tons of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl-laced heroin into the U.S.
The announcement comes a day after Sessions named the cartel one of the top five transnational criminal organizations.
Investigators believe the cartel brings about five tons of cocaine and five tons of methamphetamine into the U.S. from Mexico each month, Sessions said. The 15 indictments charge a total of 45 of the cartel’s leaders, financers, transporters and suppliers.
“Every day, these cartels are taking advantage of our porous Southern border to move and push their illegal drugs for large profits – expanding suffering and death along the way,” Sessions said at a news conference.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, who authorities say is the cartel’s kingpin and is also known as “El Mencho,” is charged in three of the indictments but remains a fugitive. The U.S. is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest.
His son, Ruben Oseguera Gonzalez, who prosecutors say served as the cartel’s second-in-command until he was arrested by Mexican authorities in 2015, is also charged in two of the indictments.
Officials believe the cartel has influence in 75 percent of Mexican states. The cartel also operates across the U.S., and in Europe, Asia, and Australia, according to prosecutors.
