In what could be a significant escalation of U.S. pressure on Mexico, the Trump administration has begun to impose travel restrictions and other sanctions on prominent Mexican politicians whom it believes are linked to drug corruption, U.S. officials said.
This administration literally let El Chapo’s family into the country recently.
But El Chapo’s son and family are aight
How else can they justify calling cartels an invasion? They have to manufacture a political entity that puts the government of Mexico in the same bucket as the cartels to be able to make the claim we are at war/there has been a foreign invasion… so basically protection, again, attacking others for being the thing you are has got to be one of the most unevolved mentalities yet it sure seems to work
Not that they could accurately identify who is corrupt, but there are definitely politicians in bed with the cartel.
Would you consider this to be systemic? Or could you guess how high it goes? I would imagine it’s mostly mayoral level positions, being “in bed” can mean almost anything when the threat to your life is sufficient enough, that’s important to remember, it would be the politicians who are more physically isolated higher up I’d be worried about. At the end of the day unless it was the president, or who ever has the power to declare war in Mexico, is on the take it wouldn’t be sufficient to link Mexican politicians and leadership to an invasion, which is what they have been claiming the cartel activity is, a foreign invasion
I’d love if Mexico detained Ted Cruz next time he goes to Cancun during hurricane season.
If they could detain him indefinitely, that would be great.
Didn’t they literally just help some cartel family members move across the border unimpeded? Pick a lane, assholes.
Rather, it was the ones who requested asylum, but in exchange, they’re going to provide information that will be useful to the Trump administration. For what purpose? I don’t know, but it could be that nothing will happen, or something will.
but in exchange, they’re going to provide

Are these politicians linked to drug trade more than the Sinaloa cartel? Just asking questions, ya know ;) https://apnews.com/article/el-chapo-sinaloa-cartel-trump-border-harfuch-86572a31c88a216da7cd5f33006a0011
Came here to post that.
They’re not even hiding it anymore the only way you can believe this shit is if you legit just believe 100% of what they say.
Noem is purging the DOJ of anyone who says the MS13 wasn’t a real tattoo. And she won’t even say it’s real, she just refuses to answer and that’s what she wants from the whole DOJ.
Lie, and if caught in a provable way, literally pretend it’s not happening.
Shit is very fucked.
In Mexico, politicians are in cahoots with drug trafficking and are corrupt. They often partner with various cartels in exchange for large sums of money. You might think this is unfounded, but it’s not actually true.
But I understand their situation because the DOJ already labels anyone as a criminal, and when they’re doing something right, it ends up being confused with something wrong.
You might think this is unfounded, but it’s not actually true.
No one is saying differently…
It’s like anywhere else: some corrupt, some fighting corruption.
You seem to keep misunderstanding what people are saying and trying to extrapolate it into something big.
But you’re starting off with flawed logic
Did they get this information from the cartel members they gave special immigration access to?
Yes, but they’re relatives of El Chapo who sought asylum from the FBI. Although they already had information, they just needed to tie up the loose ends.
Note: This doesn’t mean I support the Trump administration; I’m just providing information.
Sounds like some Mexican politicians need to buy some $TRUMPcoin.
Are Mexican politicians more transparent, equal, or more corrupt than American politicians?
Are AOC and Trump the same?
Mexico is like America, there’s variation.
There’s a lot of corruption, but a lot of brave fighters. Down there they literally put their life on the line to run for office.
Do you really think most candidates are brave?
most candidates
Did I say most?
I said:
a lot of brave fighters
Two very different things
Transparent
Why do you say they are more transparent?
They are more corrupt.
