The Trump administration is taking bold action to protect American communities from violent cartels. New sanctions target top leaders of the Cartel del Noreste, a dangerous group spreading terror along our southern border. These drug traffickers have flooded neighborhoods with deadly fentanyl while kidnapping and murdering innocent people.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called CDN’s actions “abhorrent” and promised to dismantle their operations. The sanctions freeze U.S. assets of two cartel bosses – Miguel Angel de Anda Ledezma and Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda. This move cuts off their money flow and stops them from buying guns or moving drugs into American cities.
CDN isn’t alone – seven other cartels now face terrorist designations under President Trump’s orders. These groups can no longer hide behind fake “business” fronts while poisoning our kids. The State Department labeled them foreign terrorist organizations, letting law enforcement use tougher tools to crush their networks.
For years, weak politicians let these criminals operate freely. Now, Trump’s leadership finally puts America first. A border official told Fox News these sanctions are a “full-frontal assault” on cartels that previous administrations coddled. No more half-measures – we’re hitting these thugs where it hurts.
While liberals push open borders, Republicans are cleaning up the mess. Cartel violence has skyrocketed under Biden’s failed policies, with record fentanyl deaths and human trafficking. Trump’s executive order shows real strength – not empty woke talk.
This crackdown protects law-abiding citizens on both sides of the border. Hardworking Mexicans suffer most from cartel brutality while Democrats ignore the crisis. Trump’s plan helps honest families rebuild safe communities free from gang terror.
Patriots know you can’t negotiate with terrorists. The Treasury Department’s actions prove conservative policies work. Freezing assets and ramping up deportations make America safer than any “feel-good” liberal program.
President Trump keeps his promise to restore law and order. These sanctions are just the start – his team won’t rest until every cartel is crushed and our borders are secure. Real leadership demands courage, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
