Shifts focus to U.S. homeland security.
Reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified Mexican cartel-linked bounties placed on ICE and Border Patrol officers.
Describes a tiered bounty system — $2,000 for doxing agents, up to $50,000 for assassinations.
Blames cartels, street gangs (e.g., Latin Kings), and “Democrat leaders” for escalating violence and undermining ICE.
References Facebook removing cartel-linked groups that targeted ICE agents.
Donald Trump is taking decisive military action:
Authorizing strikes on drug boats and CIA operations in Venezuela.
Declaring drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
Quotes Eric Trump defending these measures, emphasizing fentanyl deaths, crime in Chicago, and his father’s “war on the cartels.”
Frames Democrats as soft on crime and complicit in cartel activity.
