Trump Admin Takes ‘Decisive Action’ Against Cartels After Marine’s Murder in Mexico
The Department of Homeland Security released a video honoring late Marine Corps veteran Nicholas Quets and highlighting his death at the hands of the Sinaloa Cartel, which the department says it is taking “decisive action” to address.
“Drug cartels are being called what they truly are: foreign terrorist organizations,” the two-and-a-half-minute video states before showing an interview with retired Army Lt. Col. Warren D. Quets Jr. and Patricia Quets, whose son Nicholas was shot and killed at a Sinaloa Cartel checkpoint on his way to Rocky Point, Mexico, with friends on Oct. 18, 2024.
The cartel members attempted to steal Quets’ pickup truck before shooting him in the back through the heart, ending his life at 31 years old.
“I felt validated and vindicated,” Quets’ father says in the video, explaining how Trump spoke with him about his son’s death after receiving no feedback from the Biden administration or the Kamala Harris campaign.
“Designating all those organizations as foreign terrorist organizations, it makes things safer for us and puts them on the defensive. We want to send a message that targeting Americans anywhere has legal consequences. I thank President Trump and [DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem for dedicating their lives to protecting others and for being good stewards of the American taxpayers’ dollars, efforts and resources.” (Read more from “Trump Admin Takes ‘Decisive Action’ Against Cartels After Marine’s Murder in Mexico” HERE)
