<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican</a> authorities have found 45 bags of human remains with characteristics that match seven missing people.
Authorities made the horrific discovery Tuesday in Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, according to the state prosecutor’s office in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
&#8220;Forty-five bags with human remains have been extracted that belong to both male and female people,&#8221; the state prosecutor&#8217;s office <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12151487/Mexican-cartel-horror-bags-filled-remains-discovered-following-search-missing-people.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a <a href="https://fiscalia.jalisco.gob.mx/comunicacion-social/boletin-de-prensa/boletin-1308-20230531" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
&#8220;Work in the Mirador Escondido neighborhood began yesterday afternoon when a black plastic bag with human remains was found,&#8221; the statement said.
The seven missing people were call center employees who were reported missing between May 20 and May 22 near Guadalajara in western Mexico. Authorities were looking for two women and six men, all around the age of 30.
The bodies appear to “match the physical characteristics of some of the missing employees of the call center,” the prosecutor’s office said.
The bags were found at the bottom of a steep ravine about 130 feet deep near the call center where the missing individuals worked.
Firefighters and civil defense <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/02/45-bags-of-human-remains-found-in-mexico/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">airlifted</a> some of the remains using a helicopter.

Forensic teams are still working on figuring out how many victims there are, as well as their identities.
More than 100,000 people are currently <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/09/americas/mexico-americans-kidnapped-disappeared-intl-latam/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">missing</a> in Mexico.
This is not the first time Mexican authorities have found dozens of bags of human remains in this area.
In 2021, about 70 bags containing the remains of 11 people were <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12151487/Mexican-cartel-horror-bags-filled-remains-discovered-following-search-missing-people.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> in another area of Jalisco. In 2019, 119 bags with the remains of 29 people were found, also in Zapopan.
During just the first two months of this year, the remains of 33 people have been found in the Guadalajara area.
Back in March, four Americans were kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel in Matamoros, Mexico.
Two of the Americans were killed, and their bodies were given to U.S. diplomatic authorities. The two survivors returned to the U.S. and were treated at a hospital.
A few weeks after the kidnapping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador defended his country, arguing that Mexico is safer than the U.S.
“Mexico is safer than the United States. There is no issue with traveling safely through Mexico. That’s something the U.S. citizens also know, just like our fellow Mexicans that live in the U.S.,” the Mexican president said.
The cartel later issued an apology and handed over five cartel members to local authorities.
“The [Gulf Cartel] apologizes to the society of Matamoros, the relatives of Ms. Areli, and the affected American people and families,” the cartel <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/09/us/mexico-matamoros-americans-kidnapped-thursday/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
“The Gulf Cartel, Scorpion Group, strongly condemns the events of last Friday,” the letter reads. “For this reason, we decided to hand over those directly involved and responsible for the acts, who at all times acted under their own determination and indiscipline and against the rules in which the [Gulf Cartel] always operates.”
Several Mexican cities top the list for the <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/243797/ranking-of-the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world-by-murder-rate-per-capita/#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20Celaya%20in%20Mexico,where%20war%20and%20conflict%20exist." target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest</a> murder rates in the world.
Jalisco suffers from high levels of violence, especially due to the presence of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, considered by the Mexican government to be one of the most dangerous organized crime groups in the country.

One of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes may be showing signs of a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12110111/Millions-told-ready-evacuate-amid-volcanic-activity-Mexico.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive eruption</a>.
The alert level of the Popocatepetl volcano, which towers roughly 18,000 feet over sea level and looms 34 miles southeast of Mexico City, threatening 25 million people within range of an eruption, was raised to yellow phase three on Sunday, one step below a red alert. A yellow phase three alert level is triggered when the volcano shows “significant explosions of increasing intensity that shoot fragments (of rock) over considerable distances.” On Saturday the airports in Mexico City and Puebla temporarily halted flights because of ash spewed from the volcano.
“There is no risk to the population at this time,” Mexican national Civil Defense Coordinator Laura Velázquez <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/mexicos-popocatepetl-volcano-continues-to-spew-ash-and-gas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, claiming that the recent activity had been superseded in the past 20 years.
Popocatepetl, which is Aztec for “smoking mountain,” had lain dormant for decades before it awakened in 1994 spewing gas and ash as far as 16 miles away by the winds. Prior to that eruption, the last explosion occurred in 1947. “In March 1996, a new round of activity began with increased ash emissions and the growth of a lava dome in the summit crater,” the U.S. Geological Survey<a href="https://www.usgs.gov/news/volcano-watch-popocatepetl-acts" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> noted</a>.
In December 2000, Popocatepetl roared with the biggest eruption in 1200 years; 30,000 people had to be evacuated.
Six cameras have been placed around its 1,300 ft × 2,000 ft summit, along with a thermal imaging device and 12 seismological monitoring stations, while 13 scientists keep a 24-7 watch on the volcano.
On Monday, in-person classes in parts of three states were <a href="https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/mexicos-popocatepetl-volcano-spewing-ash-and-gas-closes-schools-s0w2pwya" target="_blank" rel="noopener">canceled</a>.
A scientific advisory committee <a href="https://www.vallartadaily.com/where-are-the-risk-areas-in-the-event-of-an-eruption-from-the-popocatepetl-volcano/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that a “high-risk” zone existed within a 15-kilometer radius from the volcano’s central axis; a “medium-risk” zone existed between 30 to 60 kilometers away, and a “low-risk” zone existed between 60 to 90 kilometers away.
The Popocatepetl volcano, reputedly 730,000 years old, is the second-highest peak in Mexico; Citlaltépetl is roughly 500 feet higher. It is the second-highest volcano in North America; Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, soars roughly 30,000 feet over the ocean floor.
The Mauna Kea volcano on the island of Hawaii is the tallest mountain on Earth if you measure its height from its bottom on the ocean floor; it rises to a height of over 33,000 feet.

The U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol</a> has reportedly partnered with Mexican immigration officials to facilitate the orderly migration of hundreds of illegal immigrants into the U.S.
Border agents are communicating across the U.S.-Mexico border with Mexican authorities on encrypted messaging platforms to facilitate crowds of migrants entering the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States</a>, according to Mexican officials. The U.S. officials have set up the “controlled-flow” system to keep Border Patrol processing centers from being overwhelmed, Mexican law enforcement told the <a href="https://cis.org/Bensman/Biden-DHS-Coordinating-Illegal-Immigration-InFlows-Mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Immigration Studies</a> (CIS).
Border operations run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are being overrun as Title 42, a Trump-era health policy, lapses. The policy officially expired just before midnight on Thursday. To combat the historic surge in migration, the Biden administration has reportedly resorted to unusual and drastic measures.
“Controlled-flow by the Biden administration’s DHS with Mexico also constitutes a highly unusual U.S. policy that demonstrates formal acquiescence to illegal immigration and an official willingness to accommodate mass illegal immigration rather than stopping, blocking, or deterring it, as required by law,” CIS reported.
The strategy has led to some conflict between federal law enforcement and the Texas Tactical Border Force, a special border response team of national guardsmen authorized by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, according to CIS’s Todd Bensman.

Abbott’s office said the reported coordination between DHS and Mexican law enforcement was effectively laying out a “welcome mat” for illegal immigrants.
“President Biden is actively undermining his own Border Patrol and refusing to allow them to act as law enforcement to secure our border,” Abbott spokesman Andrew Mahaleris told The Daily Wire in a statement. “While Texas is taking unprecedented action to respond to this crisis, President Biden is laying out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants by embracing even more open border policies like these and facilitating this record-level of illegal immigration rather than deterring and repelling.”

Parolees are released into the U.S. interior without a court date or tracking device. They are directed to report back on their own recognizance to an immigration official in the weeks after their release.

U.S.

The illegal immigration crisis isn&#8217;t very complex. If you want &#8220;order at the border&#8221; — as Democrats such as President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claim — then it needs to be closed once and for all.
The problem, however, is that the Left&#8217;s definition of &#8220;order&#8221; simply means that illegal aliens are &#8220;processed&#8221; by immigration officials and then released into the country via new &#8220;legal&#8221; measures. &#8220;Order&#8221; to the Democrats does not mean having the necessary physical barriers or manpower necessary at the U.S.-Mexican border to deter entry. Nor does it include enforcing policies that effectively prevent illegal immigrants from entering the nation in the first place.
Democrats tend to think that many of these illegal aliens have a right to be in the country — and that the country needs them for cheap labor. The issue is how these foreign nationals arrive — not that they&#8217;re coming in record numbers, to Biden and his ilk. Democrats want an orderly system for these individuals to come into the country.
As the following photo below shows, the Biden administration seems to have succeeded in doing just that. Per the caption provided by Getty, the image depicts &#8220;In an aerial view, immigrants line up to be processed to make asylum claims at a makeshift migrant camp on May 11, 2023 in El Paso, Texas.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_550227" style="width: 407px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-550227" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-550227" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Untitled-design-2023-05-12T094645.909-300x169.jpg" alt="EL PASO, TEXAS - MAY 11: In an aerial view, immigrants line up to be processed to make asylum claims at a makeshift migrant camp on May 11, 2023 in El Paso, Texas.

That scene is a success in Biden&#8217;s mind.
Consider also that on Thursday, Mayorkas also <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/05/11/biden-officials-advertise-to-foreign-nationals-how-best-to-get-into-u-s-while-claiming-borders-are-not-open/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bragged</a>, &#8220;President Biden has led the largest expansion of lawful pathways in decades.&#8221;
Mayorkas had planned to release hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the U.S., without a court hearing, once Title 42 expired. Thankfully, a federal judge ruled late Thursday evening that the plan was unconstitutional.
Yet all the judge really said was that illegal aliens cannot be released into the interior until they are given a court date. Those immigration hearings are often far off in the future.

Again, it is likely that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens will continue to be allowed into the U.S. in the days ahead, provided they go through the necessary steps to secure a court date. Here&#8217;s one reported example of what an &#8220;asylum seeker&#8221; &#8220;legally&#8221; in America looks like:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That young woman has a court date nearly four years from now. She&#8217;s not alone. As of December 2022, there were <a href="https://trac.syr.edu/reports/705/#:~:text=Asylum%20Seekers%20Before%20the%20Immigration%20Court&amp;text=A%20decade%20later%2C%20the%20backlog,cases%20and%20now%20totals%20787%2C882." target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.6 million individuals</a> awaiting asylum court hearings. Now, that number is going to increase by the thousands each day.
Similarly, when the president boasts that he has sent troops to the border, he leaves out that they aren&#8217;t there for law enforcement. They are there to help illegal aliens come into the U.S. through government checkpoints.
While the president has recently suggested he is going to adopt new policies that resemble former President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Remain in Mexico&#8221; policy, it should be noted this current crisis was caused because Biden revoked nearly every illegal immigration policy put into place by Trump.
The Biden administration has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-joe-biden-effectively-ended-deportations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cut back on deportations</a> while folks such as Senate Majority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) advocate amnesty for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-thanks-schumer-wants-amnesty-for-11-million-or-however-many-illegal-aliens-are-in-the-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every single illegal alien</a> in the country.
This disarray will only stop once it is clear that illegal immigrants will not be allowed to enter the country. Then, the federal government needs to actually block them from crossing the border while deporting the illegal aliens already in the U.S.
The only party that can realistically make that happen is the Republican Party — and even then, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-news-for-americans-bipartisanship-is-back-here-comes-amnesty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">good number of GOP officials</a> want similar immigration policies to the Biden administration.
That means that the chaos, as Biden <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-quietly-admits-border-been-chaos-number-years-ahead-title-42-expiration">described it this week</a>, will continue.

Migrants have been massing on the Mexico side of the border for weeks, waiting for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leading-republicans-decry-biden-border-crisis-as-title-42-ends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expiration of Title 42</a>, which allowed them to be turned away based on COVID concerns. With the rule sunsetting at midnight, states on or near the border were expecting a human flood.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Beleaguered Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a statement a minute before midnight insisting that illegal immigrants streaming in after the policy ended would be sent back.
“People who do not use available lawful pathways to enter the U.S. now face tougher consequences, including a minimum five-year ban on re-entry and potential criminal prosecution,” Mayorkas said.
Mayorkas, who has been unable to get a handle on illegal immigration since the Biden administration came into power, insisted that the end of Title 42 means the policy reverts to Title 8, which could still allow Border Patrol officers to turn back illegal immigrants with a threat of prison if they return. The administration is also trying to implement another Trump-era policy which would require anyone from a non-contiguous country to seek amnesty from another nation. That would mean migrants coming through Mexico from Central America and other nations would have to seek amnesty in Mexico.
But to the hordes of migrants poised to overwhelm U.S. officials after the lifting of Title 42, the technicalities seemed to be of little import.
“What’s better, to live in Venezuela going hungry, or try to cross to find a better life?” Richard Arcia, 23, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/11/texas-border-migrants-title-42-ends-el-paso/">told the Texas Tribune</a> from a migrant camp in Ciudad Juárez, across the river from El Paso. “I don’t need the American government to give me anything. I have a support system [in New Jersey], and I’ll get to work as soon as I can.”
All week, swarms of illegal immigrants have been seen crossing the Rio Grande into the U.S., a trend expected to accelerate beginning Friday. Border agents apprehended more than 11,000 people who crossed the border illegally on Tuesday, about double the amount seen in a typical day, The New York Times reported. After Title 42 lifts, U.S. officials are expecting up to 13,000 illegal immigrants to cross into the U.S. daily.
The ones who have already made it have stretched social services throughout the country, but especially in border communities such as El Paso, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona. While some surrender to authorities to begin the process of seeking asylum and then are turned over to shelters, many others have camped on sidewalks while they arrange transportation into the interior of the U.S.
“There is no light at the end of the tunnel,” El Paso Mayor Oscar Lesser said Thursday, after declaring a state of emergency in his overrun city.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Another complication came late Thursday when a federal judge in Florida ruled that the U.S. government may no longer “parole” unprocessed illegal immigrants. That was being done as an alternative to sheltering them in detention facilities while overwhelmed Border Patrol officials filled out their paperwork. Customs and Border Protection is currently housing 28,000 illegal immigrants at its detention facilities, according to the head of the Border Patrol union.
Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls wrote President Joe Biden, calling on him to declare a national emergency to send more federal support to border communities like his. He said Border Patrol officials are turning loose hundreds of illegal immigrants, leaving them stranded in his city.
&#8220;We see the costs of illegal activity as many migrants fall victim to cartels, who traffic both drugs and humans across the border and into the U.S. in dangerous and often deadly manners,” Nicholls wrote. “These activities are business operations to cartels, and lead to the exploitation and rape and abuse and neglect.&#8221;

&#8220;Why does [DeSantis] have to take advantage of people’s pain, of migrants’ pain, of people’s need for political gain?&#8221; AMLO said during a press conference. “This is immoral. This is politicking.”
&#8220;Now I found out that the Florida governor — imagine, Florida, which is full of migrants — is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a candidate,&#8221; AMLO added. &#8220;Can’t he not make another proposal to convince people?&#8221;
The remarks come as the U.S.-Mexico border is set to be overrun on Thursday by tens of thousands of illegal aliens this week when Title 42 officially ends. Towns in border states have faced overwhelming numbers of illegal aliens for nearly the entire time that President Joe Biden has been in the White House, but in recent weeks these areas have seen a surge to levels that some officials have described as the worst they&#8217;ve ever seen.
DeSantis responded to AMLO&#8217;s remarks in a statement that slammed the leftist president for the rampant organized crime in his country that is fueling the illegal immigration and drug crises in the U.S.
“President López Obrador should be cracking down on the cartels running his country and fueling our deadly opioid epidemic instead of worrying about what we are doing in Florida,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;While President Biden may take his cues from leftist foreign leaders, Floridians won’t let their immigration laws be dictated by Mexico City.&#8221;
&#8220;I’ll never back down from using the full weight of my office to protect the people of Florida by enforcing our immigration laws, and look forward to signing the strongest legislation against illegal immigration in Florida history,&#8221; DeSantis added.

<li>Bans local governments and NGOs from issuing identification documents to illegal aliens and invalidates all out-of-state driver licenses issued exclusively to illegal aliens.</li>
<li>Requires hospitals to collect and report healthcare costs for illegal aliens.</li>
</ul>
“The Biden Border Crisis has wreaked havoc across the United States and has put Americans in danger,” DeSantis said in a statement at the signing. “In Florida, we will not stand idly by while the federal government abandons its lawful duties to protect our country.”
“The legislation I signed today gives Florida the most ambitious anti-illegal immigration laws in the country, fighting back against reckless federal government policies and ensuring the Florida taxpayers are not footing the bill for illegal immigration,” he added.

Mexican President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andres-manuel-lopez-obrador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador</a> accused the Pentagon of spying on Mexico&#8217;s government, vowing to safeguard classified military information to protect its national security after a spate of documents leaked in U.S. media.
During his daily press briefing on Tuesday, Obrador said the Pentagon targeted Mexico several days after the leaked information exposed alleged tensions between Mexico&#8217;s Navy and the Army, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/04/15/leak-mexico-intel-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
&#8220;We are going to take care of the information from Semar and Sedena because we are being spied on by the Pentagon, and many media outlets are leaking information that the [Drug Enforcement Agency] gives them,&#8221; Obrador <a href="https://twitter.com/UnnimediosQro/status/1648376047111487495" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> without providing evidence.
Obrador added, according to Bloomberg, that Mexico would guard information &#8220;for security because we feel that they are trying to violate our sovereignty in an interventionist plan.&#8221;
Pentagon officials have not immediately responded to Obrador&#8217;s comments.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said over the weekend that dozens of leaks of classified intelligence documents from the Pentagon had not affected U.S. cooperation with allies.
The Pentagon leaks have set off a series of foreign policy controversies that the Biden administration is attempting to tamp down, from accusations of U.S. spying on allied nations to concerns among allies about the security of intelligence shared with the U.S.
Blinken and other Biden administration diplomats have attempted to reassure allies about the security of U.S. intelligence despite hundreds of pages of leaked intelligence.

&#8220;We have engaged with our allies and partners since these leaks came out, and we have done so at high levels, and we have made clear our commitment to safeguarding intelligence and our commitment to our security partnerships,&#8221; said Blinken Saturday when asked about concerns he may have heard from U.S. allies over the leaks.
Obrador said on Monday that the U.S. intelligence in the leaks was an &#8220;abusive, overbearing intrusion that should not be accepted under any circumstance,&#8221; adding that he did not plan to rebuke the U.S., but would at some point discuss &#8220;conditions for collaborative work,&#8221; Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-president-accuses-pentagon-spying-vows-restrict-military-information-2023-04-18/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The FBI arrested 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guard member, on Thursday and charged him with violating the Espionage Act for posting dozens of transcriptions and photos of classified documents to a private Discord server. Many of the documents later circulated freely online after a member of the Discord group posted them publicly.
U.S. allies have reportedly expressed concern over the security of U.S. intelligence before and after it was revealed that the leaks allegedly came from Teixeira, a junior IT worker in the Air National Guard. Teixeira was granted top-secret security clearance to aid his unit in sharing intelligence for combat support and homeland security.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Justice</a> issued indictments Friday against dozens of alleged drug traffickers with ties to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a>’s Sinaloa Cartel, including the three sons of former Sinaloa head Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera.
The indictments charge 28 people with crimes ranging from drug trafficking to machine gun possession to money laundering. None of the defendants are located in the United States; 23 are based in Mexico, four are based in China, and one is based in Guatemala.
“Today, the Justice Department is announcing significant enforcement actions against the largest, most violent, and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world — run by the Sinaloa Cartel, and fueled by Chinese precursor chemical and pharmaceutical companies,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland in a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/us-attorney-announces-charges-against-leadership-sinaloa-cartel-and-25-other-defendants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “Families and communities across our country are being devastated by the fentanyl epidemic. Today’s actions demonstrate the comprehensive approach the Justice Department is taking to disrupt fentanyl trafficking and save American lives.”
The Guzman sons are high-up leaders in the Sinaloa organization, arguably the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico. One of the men, Ovidio Guzmán, also known as “el raton,” was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/06/americas/el-chapo-son-arrest-mexico-prison-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> by Mexican authorities in January during an assault on a Sinaloa stronghold. Twenty-nine people died in the operation.
The Department of Treasury announced sanctions targeting fentanyl trafficking as well on Friday. The department slapped sanctions on two Chinese entities and five people based in China and Guatemala with sanctions in a crackdown on fentanyl precursor manufacturing and selling.
“Illicit fentanyl is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans each year,” Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson said in a <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1413#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%93%20Today%2C%20the%20U.S.%20Department,the%20production%20of%20illicit%20fentanyl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “Treasury, as part of the whole-of-government effort to respond to this crisis, will continue to vigorously apply our tools to prevent the transfer of precursor chemicals and machinery necessary to produce this drug.”
In fiscal year 2022, Customs and Border Protection <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/fentanyl-gun-smuggling-us-mexico-border-deal-rcna75782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confiscated</a> over 50,000 pounds of fentanyl from attempted drug traffickers and others. Drug smuggling over the border is <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fentanyl-seizures-rise-u-s-mexico-border-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spiking</a> amid an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration that has continued to escalate over the past two years.
Most of the fentanyl made in Mexico is manufactured from precursor chemicals shipped in from China. Chinese drug makers sell the precursors to cartels and drug labs in Mexico. The chemicals are then made into fentanyl and typically crafted into pills that resemble other, legal drugs, such as OxyContin.
The Biden administration&#8217;s crackdown on the drug trade over the U.S. southern border comes as Republicans have been calling for stiffer resistance to cartels operating south of the U.S. border. Some lawmakers have suggested the cartels be declared terrorist organizations and said they warrant a response from the U.S. military.

Two Americans who survived being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/4-u-s-citizens-kidnapped-by-gunmen-in-mexico-fbi-offers-reward-for-return" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kidnapped</a> last month by a Mexican drug cartel — in an attack that killed two other U.S. citizens — told the story of their traumatic trip over the southern border.
LaTavia Washington McGee and Eric Williams <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/12/us/kidnapped-americans-mexico-interview/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN host Anderson Cooper on Tuesday that they were driving to a medical appointment in Matamoros, Mexico, with their friends Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown when they heard a car horn behind them. Brown looked back to see what was going on and saw a gun. He told the driver not to stop the car, but then gunfire erupted. 
“Zindell and Shaeed, they jumped up to run and they were gunned down,” Williams said. Williams was then shot in both legs when he tried to escape the vehicle after one of the gunmen beat on the window. 
The two survivors said that Woodard and Brown were still alive when the cartel threw their limp bodies in the bed of a pickup truck before speeding away. The Americans were taken to a location where they were interrogated, but Woodard didn’t make it. 
“That’s where Shaeed said, ‘I love y’all, and I’m gone.’ And he died right there,” Williams said.
Williams, who was shot in both legs, told Cooper that the cartel took him to receive medical treatment, but they didn’t give him any pain medication or check to see if the bullet was still lodged in his body. “They put my leg on a two-by-four and they stitched it up,” he said.  
McGee was meanwhile placed in a room with Brown, who was slowly dying from his wounds. The cartel said they would take Brown to the hospital, but they didn’t come back to get him until an hour later, according to McGee. 
“He was fighting for his life and they didn’t do nothing,” McGee said. “I talked to him the whole time. … I just told him sorry because I asked him to come with me.” McGee said that Brown told her “It’s okay. I’m your brother. I’m supposed to be there for you. I love you.”
The survivors said that the cartel, believed to be the Gulf Cartel, was apologetic after learning they had kidnapped and killed Americans. U.S. officials believe the cartel mistook the Americans for Haitian drug dealers when they attacked them. 
McGee said that one of the cartel members told her and Williams, “There’s nothing that we can do to bring your two brothers back. But we’re sorry. Somebody made the wrong call. They was high and drunk.” 
The cartel turned five of its members over to authorities and wrote an apology letter to the “affected American people and families” as well as to the relatives of a Mexican woman who was killed by a stray bullet during the attack.
After the cartel’s apology, the kidnapped Americans said they were placed back in a truck and driven around all night, worrying that they would never be rescued. 
“They had police scanners and all types of stuff in their trucks. They knew what was going on. They were always a step ahead. So I was like, they’re never gonna find us like this,” McGee said.
After four days in captivity, Williams and McGee were finally dropped off at a wooden shack where they would eventually be rescued and brought back to the U.S., along with the bodies of their friends. 
“[Our friends] didn’t deserve that. None of us deserved it,” McGee said. “But we’re alive – we have a lot of recovering to do.”

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has written to officials in China requesting Beijing’s help in stemming the flow of fentanyl into Mexico.
Lopez Obrador said at a news conference that he had written the Chinese after U.S. officials encouraged him to reach out to Beijing in a recent visit. The Mexican president also struck out at the U.S., according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mexico-fentanyl-lopez-obrador-china-694a4b5c0ed67d5c9ac828ef956416bb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.
He complained about the U.S. in his letter and the “rude threats” coming from U.S. officials to classify Mexican drug cartels as terror groups.
“We come to you, President Xi Jinping, not to ask for your support in the face of these rude threats, but to request that for humanitarian reasons, you help us control shipments of fentanyl that can be sent from China to our country,” Lopez Obrador said, quoting from his letter to the Chinese.
“Unjustly, they are blaming us for problems that in large measure have to do with their loss of values, their welfare crisis,” he wrote. “These positions are in themselves a lack of respect and a threat to our sovereignty, and moreover they are based on an absurd, manipulative, propagandistic and demagogic attitude.”
In past remarks, Lopez Obrador was insistent that no fentanyl ripping through U.S. communities is produced in Mexico. Last month, Lopez Obrador <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mexicos-president-blames-american-families-for-fentanyl-crisis-lack-of-love-hugs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blamed</a> the U.S. drug problem on a “lack of hugs.”
“There is a lot of disintegration of families, there is a lot of individualism, there is a lack of love, of brotherhood, of hugs and embraces,” López Obrador said. “That is why they (U.S. officials) should be dedicating funds to address the causes.”
Millions of dollars-worth of pills laced with fentanyl are trafficked into the U.S. from Mexico each year, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Much of that comes from drug labs run by two of Mexico’s most violent and influential cartels, the Sinaloa and the New Generation Jalisco.
Although the cartels run the drug trade across the border, most of the fentanyl that run through cartel labs <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2023/03/23/how-fentanyl-journeys-from-china-to-mexico-to-north-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comes</a> from China. Chinese drug companies ship massive amounts of fentanyl precursor drugs to cartels in Mexico where the cartels press the drug into pills that mimic the look of medication. For example, the pills are often dyed blue and made to look like oxycontin.
Many overdose deaths from fentanyl in the U.S. happen to people who are not even aware that they are taking fentanyl-laced pills.
The United States and Mexico are <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/fentanyl-gun-smuggling-us-mexico-border-deal-rcna75782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> nearing a deal to crack down on drugs flowing north across the border. In return, U.S. law enforcement will crack down on guns flowing south.

“What does the name James K. Polk mean to you?”
The 11th president of the United States is criminally underrated, according to Wilfred McClay, professor of history at Hillsdale College. Despite only serving a single term, Polk radically reshaped the future of the United States, turning the young nation into a cross-continental power.
Polk was elected president in 1844 as a dark horse candidate, coming to power after a string of previous electoral losses because of his outspoken support of American expansion into Texas and the Oregon territory. McClay notes that Polk’s main opponents, former Democratic president Martin Van Buren and Whig Henry Clay, both vocally opposed the voluntary annexation of Texas, which had recently declared independence from Mexico, on the grounds that it might trigger a war.
Polk, on the other hand, was unapologetically bellicose — Texas was annexed in 1845, soon after he became president, and the next year a war would break out between Mexico and the United States — a war the United States would decisively win. By 1848, American troops had occupied the Mexican capital, and half the country’s territory was handed over to the United States.
Polk was similarly aggressive in his negotiations over the Oregon Territory, which included modern-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho as well as portions of Wyoming and Montana and most of British Columbia. In the first half of the 19th century, the territory had been claimed by Britain, Russia, Spain, and the United States, although by Polk’s tenure, only the U.S. and Britain maintained their claims. The countries had agreed to jointly occupy the territory, although that situation was untenable in the long run — American colonists in the area outnumbered the British several times over, but unlike Mexico, Britain was a great power and could not be steamrolled. 
Nevertheless, Polk campaigned on securing almost all of the Oregon Territory for the United States, setting the northern border between American and British territories in the area at the 54 degrees and 40 minutes latitude <a href="https://www.ushistory.org/us/29b.asp">(“54° 40&#8242; or Fight!”)</a>. However, by 1846, American forces were bogged down in Mexico, so when Britain offered a compromise border at the 49th parallel he was willing to take it.
When he stepped down in 1849, American territory had expanded by roughly a third. The Pacific West and Southwest of the United States belong to the United States largely because of President Polk. “His term of office with the mid-nineteenth century idea of &#8216;Manifest Destiny,&#8217;” McClay explains, “the belief that American democracy should extend from coast to coast, enveloping the entire continent.” 
 
McClay speculates that part of the reason Polk is largely forgotten compared to other major American presidents is that such ideas have fallen out of vogue and are regarded as militant and imperialistic. But McClay paints a more favorable picture.
“[Polk] was confident that what he was doing was noble and good &#8211; bringing freedom and prosperity across the continent to ever more people. Looking back almost two centuries, isn’t that exactly what he did?”

More than three dozen people are dead after a fire at a migrant detention center in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a>, just across from the U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">southern border</a>. 
According to officials, at least 39 people are dead and 29 others hospitalized after a fire broke out at a migration center in Ciudad Juarez run by the National Migration Institute (INM). The victims of the fire <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mexico/fire-migrant-center-us-mexico-border-ciudad-juarez-rcna76943" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> hailed from countries in Central and South America. 
Those hospitalized are in &#8220;delicate-serious condition,” according to INM. INM also appeared to suggest that the fire was not an accident, saying that it &#8220;strongly rejects the acts that led to this tragedy.” 
“With deep sadness and sorrow, we learned about the fire that happened inside the INM of Ciudad Juarez. We will wait for the official information and, from this moment, we convey our condolences to the families of the migrants,” <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AndreaChavezTre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Andrea Chávez, federal deputy of Ciudad Juarez. 
Chávez added that the attorney general’s office of Mexico would be investigating the fire, the cause of which has not yet been determined. Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission is aiding the survivors of the fire, which occurred just across from El Paso, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a>. 
Many seeking entry into the U.S. come in at Ciudad Juarez, which is located in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

According to Dallas Morning News correspondent Alfredo Corchado, many of those who were staying at the facility were from Venezuela and had recently been taken in from the streets. Corchado <a href="https://twitter.com/ajcorchado/status/1640622590208212998" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> that a “mass number” of migrants had come to the border because of their expectation that Title 42 would end. Title 42 is a Trump-era health order that has allowed U.S. Border Patrol agents to turn away migrants at the border on the basis of public health.
Since taking office, Biden has overseen an<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-considers-reviving-border-rules-he-campaigned-on-ending-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> unprecedented immigration</a> crisis at the border. Illegal immigration has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-shatters-all-time-record-for-number-of-illegal-alien-encounters-on-southern-border">surged</a> to an all-time high, and the administration fears that the numbers could increase further after Title 42 expires on May 11.

Bringing back family detainment is one of the proposals officials have floated for tightening border security despite the administration’s previous position that the practice was inhumane and harmed illegal immigrant children. Officials have proposed limiting the time a family can be detained to two weeks, or setting no limits at all.
