JOE BIDEN AND THE NARCOMEX CARTELS - Over 200 Arrested in Connection with Sex Trafficking of Migrant Women
Over 200 Arrested in Connection with Sex Trafficking of Migrant Women
Over 20 women who are believed to have been trafficked into the United States and forced into the sex trade were rescued in Polk County, Florida.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd noted that most of the women identified as victims of sex trafficking are Cuban and were trafficked across the Mexican border.
Judd added that the victims likely started as refugees before coming into contact with human smugglers, often referred to as “coyotes,” who help migrants enter the United States in exchange for a fee. He also noted that it is likely that they were told they would have to engage in prostitution to pay off debt.
Judd noted that the women were threatened with harm to their families back in their home countries if they did not comply with traffickers. A few of the women had arrived in the U.S. within the last 2 weeks, he also stated.
“The human trafficking victim is a very difficult victim to work with, because they are scared,” Sheriff Judd explained.
He also explained that the migrants “told to us that they were paying off their transportation debt, that they were being smuggled into the United States to have sex, that their family at home was being threatened if they didn’t come here and … pay off the debts.” The women are “paying a ridiculous, horrible price,” he added.
Judd also explained that if the federal government truly sought to solve our illegal immigration crisis, they would halt the supply of new migrants:
We don’t do what we need to do … I suggest to you that what we are doing with the immigration issue today is simply this: It’s like you go home this evening, and [discover] ‘Oh my gosh, a pipe is broken and I’ve got water all over the floor.’
The federal government has got water all over the floor and they’re in there trying to mop it up. At least they say they are.
But at the same time, the pipe is still pumping more water onto the floor. The first thing you do if you go home this evening and find a pipe is broken and you’ve got water on the floor is — you go find the source and turn the valve off. Then you mop up and you fix the problem.
An elected official on the school board for San Diego’s Del Mar Union School District named Dr. Scott Wooden was one of the 200 arrests connected to the trafficking victims. Wooden, a molecular biologist who previously owned a massage parlor, allegedly attempted to solicit a prostitute for $200.
Meanwhile, the Del Mar Union School District issued a statement, remarking, “We want to inform you that the Del Mar Union School District received notification that Scott Wooden has resigned from the District’s Governing Board of Trustees effective immediately.”
“The Board is currently exploring options to fill the vacancy. We will keep the community informed as the District moves through this process,” the statement also read.
Judd noted that the victims are being offered an opportunity to get connected with social services and receive help from non-profit organizations such as One More Child. Jodi Domangue, the head of the anti-trafficking unit of One More Child discussed sex trafficking, saying “It most often looks like generations of cyclical poverty and individuals who are desperateto have their needs met for survival,”
Judd explained that they are continuing to investigate who smuggled the victims across the border. “We have caught the buyer and the seller,” he said before adding “That’s what we’ve done today. But we know the buyer and the seller is only the beginning of the chain. It’s not the end of the chain.”

Cartel Mass Killings, Kidnappings Plague Central Mexico
Despite rhetoric by Mexico’s government about the country being safer than the U.S., once peaceful regions are now plagued by cartel violence. In recent days, the state of Guanajuato has suffered mass killings and mass kidnappings at the hands of cartels.
On Tuesday, authorities confirmed the disappearance of six women in Celaya who were traveling in the same vehicle. The six had been missing since March 7. Two days later, two other women were reported missing in a separate case. Despite multiple assurances from officials, the eight women remain missing. Also over the weekend, gunmen kidnapped a 36-year-old male businessman whose body was found two days later. State authorities claimed to have arrested a cell of gunmen in connection with the case, however, no new information has been released.
In a separate case, cartel gunmen stormed a bar called El Estadio in Apaseo El Alto, killing 10 patrons. The attack took place over the weekend. According to the Guanajuato Attorney General’s Office, initially, the gunmen shot 6 men and two women who died at the scene. Two others died at a local hospital. Mass shootings at bars in Guanajuato are on the rise as Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) and the remnants of Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL) fight for control of local drug markets and business vulnerable to extortion.

Three Migrant Children Abandoned by Smugglers on Texas Bank of Rio Grande
Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents discovered three unaccompanied migrant children abandoned by human smugglers on the banks of the river that separates Mexico and Texas. The discoveries came in two separate incidents.
Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez tweeted a photo on Wednesday of a young girl abandoned by human smugglers near Weslaco, Texas. The smugglers left the toddler alone and in the dark Tuesday night on the Texas bank of the Rio Grande.
One day earlier, Chavez tweeted another photo showing two children left on the Texas bank of the Rio Grande Monday night. Agents heard the eight-year-old girl calling for help after being abandoned by the human smuggling guide during a storm. The agents assigned to the Fort Brown Station near Brownsville, Texas, took possession of the brother and sister after Texas National Guard soldiers assigned to Operation Lone Star found them.
“Smuggling organizations continue to exploit children as a commodity!,” Chief Chavez stated. She reported that these children are part of the more than 25,000 unaccompanied migrant children found by agents so far this fiscal year.

THE BORDERS, LIKE THE LAWS, DO NOT APPLY TO BRIBES SUCKER GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN OR HIS CUBAN, GAMER LAWYER MAYORKAS!
PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER:
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Mexican President Says He’ll Campaign Against GOP if it Presses For Military Action Against Cartels

(CNSNews.com) – Taking aim at GOP lawmakers pushing for military action against Mexican drug cartels, President Andres Manuel López Obrador said Thursday that if the drive continues he will call on Mexican and Hispanic voters in the U.S. not to support the Republican Party.
One of the lawmakers involved advised López Obrador to “get a grip” and said he should be campaigning against the cartels murdering his people, rather than against those wanting to help.
“We are not going to allow any foreign government to intervene, much less the armed forces of a foreign government to intervene in our territory,” the Mexican president said during a press conference. “We are not a protectorate of the United States, nor a colony of the United States.”
The fentanyl crisis has prompted several Republican-led proposals to have the U.S. government designate the Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), and use military assets against them. Proponents say they aren’t calling for U.S. troops to be deployed on the ground, but for the use of cyber, drones, and other capabilities against gangs responsible for the drugs that are killing tens of thousands of Americans each year.
The deaths of two Americans kidnapped in northeastern Mexico has fueled the calls.
But López Obrador said they amount to an attack on Mexican sovereignty, and laid out his planned response:

“Starting today we are going to launch an information campaign for Mexicans who live and work in the United States, and for all Hispanics, to inform them of what we are doing in Mexico, and how this initiative by the Republicans, in addition to being irresponsible, is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of respect for our independence, our sovereignty,” he said.
“And if they do not change their attitude and think that they are going to use Mexico for their propaganda, electoral, and political purposes, we are going to call for them not to vote for that party, because it is interventionist, inhumane, hypocritical, and corrupt.”
Among those responding to López Obrador’s remarks was Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), one of the lawmakers pressing for military action against the cartels.
“The President of Mexico said today he would campaign against me & anyone who wants to target the cartels,” he tweeted.
“1. Bring it. Lol. 2. Get a grip. You should be campaigning against the cartels who are MURDERING your own people, not the Americans who want to help eradicate them.”
Earlier this week, after news broke that two of four Americans kidnapped last Friday had been killed, Crenshaw tweeted, “It’s time we authorize military force against them. Are you listening, [López Obrador]? We would love for you to be a partner. Help us help you.”
The cartel-focused congressional initiatives include a resolution introduced in January by Crenshaw and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), granting Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) to target specified cartels facilitating the fentanyl crisis.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) – from whose state the kidnapped and murdered Americans came – joined Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) at a press conference this week outlining plans for legislation that would designate the cartels as FTOs, and then “give the military the authority to go after these organizations wherever they exist.”
“Not to invade Mexico. Not to shoot Mexican airplanes down,” Graham said. “But to destroy drug labs that are poisoning Americans.”

Sens. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) and Rick Scott (Fla.) on Wednesday reintroduced their Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act, previously proposed last September, that would designate four specified Mexican cartels as FTOs.
The designation would make it a crime to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to the cartels to enter the U.S., ban entry into the U.S. to any foreign citizen linked to the cartels, and authorize the Treasury Department to freeze cartels’ assets and block transactions.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that FTO designations for the cartels “would not grant us any additional authorities that we don’t really have at this time.”
The Crenshaw-Waltz and Marshall-Scott measures both name the cartels they want targeted. Both lists include the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, which have been linked to the production of most of the fentanyl coming across the southwest border.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 71,238 Americans died in fentanyl overdoses in 2021.
In his press conference remarks on Thursday, López Obrador denied that fentanyl is produced or consumed in Mexico, characterizing the situation in the U.S. as a result of an inadequate law enforcement response and social problems.
“Why don’t they fight the distribution of fentanyl in the United States, the cartels in the United States that are in charge of distributing fentanyl and more thoroughly?” he asked. “Why don’t you take care of your youth? Why don’t they address their serious problem of social decomposition?”
Texas state Republicans are pushing legislation to make illegal entry from Mexico a felony, a move that comes as Texas lawmakers accuse the Biden administration of leaving border states to fend for themselves against the immigration crisis.
The bill from Republican state representative Matt Schaefer would also create a "Border Protection Unit," a larger state border patrol team to address the surge in migrants, Fox Newsreported. The bill must pass the legislature before the end of May to become law.
The Border Protection Unit would be headed by a governor-appointed unit chief, who could recruit a militia of civilians without felony convictions to "participate in unit operations and functions." Illegal immigrants who are arrested could face up to 10 years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
"Right now we can use all the help and any help at all that we can get, because we're being overrun down here and on the borders," saidZavala County sheriffEusevio Salinas.
The proposed bill comes after Texas Republicanspressedthe Biden administration to reimburse the state for its efforts to tackle the border crisis through Operation Lone Star.
"Texas has been forced by this administration to go it alone when it comes to securing our border," said U.S. representative Pat Fallon (R., Texas) in a statement. "Operation Lone Star has been a critical tool in stemming the tide of illegal immigration, but we cannot do it by ourselves."
The U.S. Border Patrol has experienced nearly 800,000 migrant encounters so far in fiscal year 2023.
"The Legislature, acting with the governor, has the solemn duty to protect and defend the citizens of Texas," theproposed billreads. "Texas is in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."
American Greatness, Excerpt: Despite advocates’ repeated insistence that illegal immigrants do not threaten public safety, the evidence is not so clear. In fact, some data out of Texas suggest that illegal immigrants are convicted of homicide and sexual assault at higher rates than the state average.

The Sinaloa Cartel and Cartel Jalisco New Generation are the main suppliers and producers of fentanyl. The drug has become extremely popular because it is cheap to produce and lets traffickers cut their loads several times while maintaining potency. However, due to its extreme potency and limited dilution in lab settings, overdoses are common.
Last November, Crenshaw introduced the Declaring War on the Cartels Act, featuring increased criminal penalties for criminal cartels’ activities and the targeting of their finances, with provision for seized assets to be directed to Customs and Border Protection, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and the DEA.

Victor Davis Hanson: Biden is the most dangerously radical President in US history
A source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a group of nearly 1,000 frustrated migrants attempted to force their way into the United States at the Paso de Norte International Bridge in El Paso. The group of mostly single adult migrants forced their way past Mexican immigration authorities and attempted to breach the United States Port of Entry by force on Sunday afternoon.
The source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas that CBP officers staffing the U.S. side of the bridge prevented the group from entering the city of El Paso. The large migrant group has been pushed back into Mexico and was somewhat dispersed at press time.
The source believes the group may attempt a breach at another international bridge in the area, namely the Stanton-Lerdo facility located on Stanton Street in El Paso. The source says the migrants are likely frustrated by the increased application of the CDC Title 42 Emergency COVID-19 order. The Title 42 order was recently expanded by the Biden administration to include the immediate expulsion of Venezuelan, Cuban, and Nicaraguan migrants.
Video published by the City of El Paso shows the bridge being closed on Sunday afternoon with barricades and CPB officers standing guard:

The increased application of the emergency rule reduced crossings along the southwest border in recent months and forced migrants to wait in Mexico for the rule to expire or to turn to cartel smugglers and finance a more surreptitious, dangerous, and expensive journey into the United States.
Before the enhanced application of the Title 42 authority that sees migrants quickly expelled to Mexico or their home country, most migrants crossing in large groups were quickly released to pursue asylum claims in the United States. According to CBP, the rule will expire in May and will be replaced by an immigration enforcement measure that will subject migrants who fail to apply for asylum in a third country to expedited removal and imposes a five-year ban on re-entry to the United States as a consequence.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector led the nation in migrant apprehensions with nearly 56,000 apprehensions in December prior to President Joe Biden visiting the sector in January. As a result of the enhanced application of the Title 42 COVID-19 authority imposed shortly after the president’s visit, migrant apprehensions in the Sector dropped by more than 40% to 31,900 in February.
It is unknown if any migrants attempting to breach the Paso Del Norte International Port of Entry were arrested during the event by U.S. or Mexican authorities. A request for information from Customs and Border Protection remains pending as of press time.
