https://americanmilitarynews.com/2020/0 ... -dea-says/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.”

Some good might come out of this Coronavirus,
one only has to listen to idiot Trump at his Coronavirus press conferences to realise he is an idiot that is way out of his depth!
Hopefully enough of the yankydoodles might realise it before Nov 2020.

Even though I live here in Australia, & have for the better part of 30 years, I'm a Natural Born American Citizen....one who didn't vote in 2016 (we Americans have the Right not to vote), but I intend on voting this time around.....I intend on voting for President Donald John Trump for FOUR MORE YEARS, & if they change the Twenty Second Amendment to the US Constitution (Presidential Term Limits), I'd likely vote for him again in 2024!! ......

Re: Trumps Achievements
Where is old Joe anyway? Nowhere in sight in the face of a world wide pandemic. The face of the Democratic Party and he's totally disappeared *poof*
His latest excuse? His ceilings are too low at home so they can’t get the proper lighting for his at-home briefings.
The man vying to be President. Some brain. It's more likely they are scrambling to find his brain or what's left of it.

Who said the man wasnt an idiot!
“The hardship will end. It will end soon. Normal life will return and our economy will rebound very, very strongly,” Mr Trump said.
“Our public health experts, who are terrific, are studying the variation in the disease across the country, and we will be using data to recommend new protocols to allow local economies to cautiously resume their activity at the appropriate time.
“We also have a large team working on what the next steps will be once the medical community gives a region the OK – meaning the OK to get going, to get back, let’s go to work.
“Our country wasn’t built to be shut down. This is not a country that was built for this. It was not build to be shut down.
“America will again, and soon, be open for business. Very soon. A lot sooner than the three or four months that somebody was suggesting. A lot sooner.
“We’re not going to let the cure be worse than the problem.”
The United States is about halfway through a 15-day period of social distancing.
“At the end of the 15-day period, we’ll make a decision as to which way we want to go, where we want to go, the timing – essentially we’re referring to the timing of the opening. Essentially the opening of our country,” said Mr Trump.

Red instead of swooping through doing your best Smith impersonation of calling everyone an idiot or a moron, then hysterically laughing before swooping out again, how about actually addressing points in a rational manner?The United States is about halfway through a 15-day period of social distancing.
“At the end of the 15-day period, we’ll make a decision as to which way we want to go, where we want to go, the timing – essentially we’re referring to the timing of the opening. Essentially the opening of our country,” said Mr Trump.
Here's a few very simple questions you may, or may not, be able to answer ...
1. What is your problem with reassessing the situation after a 15 day period of social distancing?
2. Do you agree with the travel ban in the face of the pandemic or do you agree with open borders?
3. Do you agree with the Democrats holding up the coronavirus survival package for all Americans because they want to add in the ideological green new deal and other unassociated BS?
