As Biden keeps troops in Syria, ex-Texas trooper says 'it's time' for military to stop Mexican cartel crisis
Fox News
Jaeson Jones, a former captain in the Texas Department of Public Safety's counter-terror division, said Wednesday 'it's time' for the federal government to focus more on the escalating cartel violence, and the rapidly intensifying smuggling operations they oversee.
He played a clip for Carlson of a battle that ensued around breakfast time on a recent day. The sound of weapons from small arms to grenade launchers could be heard from atop a bluff on the American side. "That community has been in battle between two cartels for the last two years: Cartel del Golfo -- The Gulf Cartel -- and Cartel del Noreste -- known as Los Zetas by many people," Jones said. Carlson noted that President Biden recently focused military power on ordering airstikes in Syria, while departing from the Trump administration's practice of drawing down U.S. troops' presence in the Middle East.More Related News
