Mexico Transfers 37 Cartel Members to U.S. Custody

Anti-Trump narrative

Mexican cartels have evolved into a fragmented network of roughly 400 groups operating like multinational corporations with deep political and economic roots, making military strikes ineffective and potentially catastrophic. Targeting kingpins has repeatedly failed to stop drug flows and instead sparked deadly internal wars, as seen when El Mayo Zambada's capture ignited violence, leaving thousands dead in Sinaloa. Any unilateral U.S. intervention risks massive civilian casualties, destabilizing a crucial trade partner while cartels retaliate through their extensive networks already embedded across American cities.
