AMERICA IS MOVING TOWARDS A CIVIL WAR. IT MAY BE THE ONLY TO SAVE AMERICA!
As reported by Breitbart Texas, the arrest of migrants with existing criminal records has risen more than 350 percent since 2020. According to CBP, the number of migrants who have criminal convictions for Homicide and Manslaughter rose from 3 encounters in 2020 to more than 60 in 2022. More than 120 migrants with homicide or manslaughter convictions have been encountered since January 2021 — compared to 11 during the Trump era. The increase reflects those convicted of prior offenses committed in the United States.
“Heroin is not produced in the United States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled into the United States. Indeed, this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017 when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com
Mexican President Awards Medal to Cartel-Linked Army General, Mocks DEA

Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador presented a medal to a cartel-connected Army general who spent time in a U.S. jail awaiting trial on drug charges. The general was ultimately turned over to Mexico, where he was released.
President Lopez Obrador visited Mexico’s Military College this week for their 200-aniversary celebration. During the visit, the president awarded a medal to General Salvador Cienfuegos, a former secretary of defense for Mexico and a former director of the military academy that hosted the event. Lopez Obrador did not give speeches during the ceremony but defended his actions the following day.
On Thursday morning, Lopez Obrador defended the controversial ceremony, claiming that Cienfuegos had been absolved of all criminal allegations and that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had fabricated the case against him in revenge for Mexico not giving free rein to U.S. agents inside the country.
“We were able to ascertain that it was revenge, and there were no elements,” Lopez Obrador said during his morning news conference. “Then, the DEA people were left very upset, and they wanted a Mexican army; the Mexican armed forces weakened sitting on the bench of the accused so they could do as they please in Mexico like (Former Mexican President Felipe) Calderon allowed them to.”
As Breitbart Texas reported, U.S. federal agents arrested Salvador Cienfuegos in 2020 on drug trafficking charges stemming from a criminal indictment. Court documents identified Cienfuegos as “The Godfather” and detailed his close working relationship with various drug cartels, particularly the Beltran Leyva cartel remnants.
However, in 2021, in a very controversial move that came after much diplomatic wrangling, the U.S. Department of Justice dismissed the case against Cienfuegos so Mexico could prosecute him first. However, just hours after arriving in Mexico, authorities in Mexico released him. Soon after, the Mexican prosecutors dismissed all charges against him. As Breitbart Texas reported, months later, Lopez Obrador published court documents and classified evidence that was shared with Mexico through diplomatic channels. At the time, the president claimed the information showed that Cienfuegos was innocent.

GRAPHIC: Cartel Gunmen Kill Rivals for Shooting Toddler in Mexican Border State
A group of cartel gunmen shot and killed two rivals from the Gulf Cartel, claiming it was payback for the shooting of a three-year-old boy during a targeted killing earlier this week. The latest killing comes as both the Gulf Cartel and the Cartel del Noreste faction of Los Zetas continue to fight for control of key areas in the border state of Tamaulipas.
On Wednesday, a team of gunmen stormed a house in the Marte R. Gomez neighborhood on the western side of Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. Inside the house, the gunmen shot and killed two Gulf Cartel members and escaped.
When authorities arrived, they found the bodies of the two cartel members, various weapons, and a set of body armor with Gulf Cartel patches.
Law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that hours after the killing, a series of social media messages allegedly from CDN-Los Zetas took credit for the killing, claiming it was a response to the shooting of a three-year-old boy. The message also taunted the Gulf Cartel, saying they refused to face them head-on and only targeted families.
The killing is tied to another killing earlier this week in Ciudad Victoria, where a group of gunmen shot and killed a 29-year-old man who was a member of CDN-Los Zetas, Breitbart Texas reported. During that attack, the gunmen also injured the intended victim’s three-year-old son, who was in the vehicle with him. The young boy remains in critical condition after a bullet entered his chest and went out his back.
The violence in Ciudad Victoria comes as state authorities continue to claim the state is safe while rival cartels fight fierce turf wars.
