More than 600 Mexican cartel members were arrested during an interagency operation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), making it one of the largest arrest operations in history.



The agencies announced the results of the plan, called Project Python, at a press briefing on Wednesday, saying the DEA-led operation spent the last six months monitoring the activities of those they arrested, The Hill reported. In total, there were 600 Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) arrests and 350 indictments, as well as a significant seizure of money and drugs in the nationwide raid on Wednesday, the agencies said. According to one report, the agencies seized 15,000 kilos of meth and nearly $20 million.

“Project Python marks the most comprehensive action to date in the Department of Justice’s campaign to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately destroy CJNG,” Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski said in a statement.

“CJNG is one of the fastest-growing, transnational criminal organizations in Mexico, and among the most prolific methamphetamine producers in the world,” DEA leaders said in the written statement.

Benczkowski cited an executive order President Donald Trump signed on Feb. 9, 2020, that directed federal law enforcement “to thwart transnational criminal organizations and subsidiary organizations, including criminal gangs, cartels, racketeering organizations, and other groups engaged in illicit activities that present a threat to public safety and national security.”

“When President Trump signed an Executive Order prioritizing the dismantlement of transnational criminal organizations, the Department of Justice answered the call and took direct aim at CJNG. We deemed CJNG one of the highest-priority transnational organized crime threats we face,” he said. “And with Project Python, we are delivering results in the face of that threat for the American people.”

Project Python is the single-largest strike by U.S. authorities against the CJNG, Dhillon said in a written statement. The operation was aimed at mid- to high-level associates of the CJNG in the United States, rather than the high-profile targets, officials said.

Investigators will use the data they collected in Project Python to “identify and map out the cartel’s logistical nodes and pathways,” Benczkowski said.

“This operation is one of the largest, concentrated actions against a single criminal organization in many years,” Dhillon said. “By removing mid- and high-level members, we inhibit CJNG’s ability to regenerate and to continue to threaten our communities and neighborhoods with their deadly drugs.”

The cartel is active in major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston and Atlanta, the agencies said. The DOJ and DEA also announced a superseding indictment on charges against Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” the leader of CJNG, for allegedly continuing criminal enterprise.

“This is just the beginning,” Dhillon added.

The War on Drugs continues ad nauseam by going after the suppliers.

It will never stop until they learn to go after the demand....until the demand dries up it will keep on into perpetuity.

I agree, wasted effort. It seems like demand has been growing, not shrinking. So maybe we are attacking the wrong side of the problem. What if we hit the demand side with a few billion investment?

Got passed by three fully loaded black suburbans hauling ass on the freeway last week with fully blacked out windows here in the Central Valley of Kommiefornia on I5. You know the ones with the flashing blue lights in the upper right hand of the windshield. Wonder if it was related. Could have also been La Migra as well.

Freakonomics hit it on the head.

Take out supplier - supply dwindles, price goes up and it becomes economically enticing for someone to step in and become a new supplier (new dealer/cartel etc)

If you simply locked up every user or executed them immediately - make USING (demand) so reprehensible that to do so is an instant death sentence or locked away for life - zero tolerance (not advocating that - simply applying it as example) - the demand drops, price drops. Economic incentive to produce/deal goes away and suppliers walk away from the market. Like I'm sure any other industry when demand drops.

Trump is shutting down the child trafficking business that the deep state, Zero, Hillary, Piglousy and Schifty has brought to the US.

Gates, Bob Iger, Bezos, Zuckerberg and many Hollywierd elites arent happy about this. It's why the left and dims tried like hell to stop the wall.

It's hard to carry a child over the wall.

Start executing the MF’s, but we can’t do that. It might hurt their feelings!

Absolutely.

Too may rich kids were getting arrested. Was keeping them out of law and medical schools. So they changed focus to dealers.

The US has been running black ops for almost a year South of the border, targeting cartels. Our hitters haven’t been taking prisoners. Straight up hunting with unlimited tags.

Here Trump gives a clue re Haiti and the Hillary crew. Though some of you may forget, hes not through with her yet. He doesnt make idle banter.

Exactamundo. It is a simple solution to an extremely complex problem, but we as a society will refuse to even consider it...so it goes on. But if you were really serious about it, thats the ONLY way to stop it.

Yeah but that would result in the same punishment all our other death penalties have....nothing. ( except of course huge bills to the taxpayers to keep these schitt bags alive...)
