Now, when you have a chance, I want you to take a look at the barrels behind me. There are,300 barrels filled with precursors to methampetamin. It will take 24 18 wheelers to take these precursors to a storage facility in a safe location. 24 18 wheelers, 2,300 barrels, half a billion dollars in poison destined for American streets. But this wasn’t a drug bust. It was something that had never been done before in US history. And what happened next changed the rules of the game entirely. The seizure that changed everything. Picture this. 24 18-wheelers lined up ready to transport 130 barrels of chemicals. Not just any chemicals, but the building blocks of death. precursors designed to manufacture methamphetamine that would have flooded American streets, destroying countless lives and families. This isn’t a scene from a movie. This is real life. And what you’re about to hear represents one of the most significant victories in America’s fight against drug cartels in our nation’s history. On a day that will be remembered as a turning point in the war against narcotics trafficking, US attorney and federal law enforcement officials gathered at the Port of Houston to announce something extraordinary, something that had never been done before, something that sends a clear, unmistakable message to drug cartels operating across borders. America is no longer playing defense. Thank you all for coming out today. We think that this is a very important issue and I flew down from Washington uh because I think that this is so significant. Every day tons of chemicals that are used to create synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl are shipped from China to Mexico in China’s undeclared war against America and her citizens. Let me break down exactly what happened here, because the numbers alone are staggering. Federal authorities intercepted two massive shipments traveling across the high seas. These weren’t small packages hidden in someone’s luggage. These were industrial scale operations. The seizure included £363,000 of benzel alcohol and£334,000 of nmethylformmide. Chemical precursors that serve one primary purpose, manufacturing methamphetamine on an industrial scale. But here’s where it gets even more disturbing. If these chemicals had reached their intended destination, if they had made it into the hands of the Sinaloa cartel, they would have been transformed into something far more deadly. The math is chilling. These precursors would have produced £420,000 of methamphetamine, £420,000. Let that sink in for a moment. What does that translate to in real terms? The street value in Houston alone would have been £569 million with even higher values as you move up the northeastern seabboard to places like New York City. We’re talking about over half a billion dollars of poison that was destined for American streets, American neighborhoods, American homes. The journey of these chemicals tells a story that’s become all too familiar in America’s drug crisis. The port of leading was Shanghai, China. The port of discharge was Mexico. This is the pipeline that has been fueling America’s addiction crisis. A pipeline that stretches from Chinese chemical manufacturers across the Pacific Ocean into Mexico and ultimately into communities across the United States. But what makes this seizure fundamentally different from everything that came before? What makes this a genuine turning point rather than just another drug bust? The answer lies in a historic designation that changed the rules of engagement entirely. Now the labs that were under construction that were being used to integrate these uh uh chemicals to make the methamphetamine were under the geographical control of the Sinaloa cartels. Because President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have declared the Sinaloa cartel a foreign terrorist organization, it gives all of us in law enforcement the ability to move quicker and to seize quicker. This is unprecedented. By designating the Sinaloa cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, FTO, law enforcement gained powers they never had before. And the implications are massive. When you designate an organization as a terrorist group, everything changes. The legal framework shifts. The ability to seize assets expands dramatically. The speed at which law enforcement can move accelerates significantly. Let me explain what this means in practical terms. Under this FTO designation, authorities can now seize property anywhere in the world if it’s connected to these organizations. Not just within US borders, not just in domestic territory, but anywhere on the planet. This is the kind of tool that fundamentally changes the game because cartels operate internationally. They hide assets across multiple countries. They use complex financial networks spanning continents. The FTO designation cuts through all of that. And here’s something that should make everyone who’s been touched by the drug epidemic, feel a sense of justice. Anyone working with these cartels, whether they claim innocence or not, if they know they are providing support, they are providing material support to terrorism. That’s not just a drug crime anymore. That’s terrorism. And the penalties reflect that severity. The Sinaloa cartel isn’t just some criminal organization. They’re not just drug dealers. They are one of the largest producers and traffickers of fentinil. and they use murder, kidnapping, torture, and violence as a way of doing business. These are terrorists in every sense of the word. They terrorize communities. They destroy families. They leave bodies in their wake. And for too long, they operated with relative impunity, exploiting gaps in international law and jurisdictional boundaries. When the US attorney stood before those 1,300 barrels at the Port of Houston, she made a statement that cuts right to the heart of what this seizure represents. 24 18-wheers. Think about that visual. That’s not a drug bust. That’s stopping an industrial operation. That’s intercepting a supply chain that would have fed destruction into communities across America for months, possibly years. The scale of this interdiction is difficult to comprehend unless you really break it down. The Sinaloa cartel labs that were being built to process these chemicals are capable of producing more than one ton of methamphetamine per week. Think about that. Not one ton total. One ton every single week. That’s 2,000 lbs of meth flooding into communities every 7 days. Multiply that over months and you begin to understand the catastrophic impact these chemicals would have had. But this seizure did something else that’s critically important. It stopped the drug labs that were planned from operating. Those labs were under construction. Money had been invested. Infrastructure was being built. Supply chains were established. And now all of that is shut down. The financial hit to the cartel is enormous. But more importantly, the human cost that was prevented is immeasurable. The US attorney made another statement that should stay with everyone who watches this video. And before you leave, I want to make sure that you look at those 1300 barrels. And I want you to have a visual of dead Americans instead of where those barrels are because that’s what would have happened. Dead Americans. That’s not hyperbole. That’s not an exaggeration for effect. In recent years, drugrelated deaths in America have grown to more than 100,000 casualties annually. 100,000 Americans die every year from drugs. That’s more than were lost in the Vietnam War every single year. And much of that death toll can be traced directly back to operations like the one that was stopped at the Port of Houston. Every funeral, every family was destroyed, every child left without a parent, every parent burying their son or daughter. All of it connects back to shipments like these, to cartels like the Sinaloa organization, to an undeclared war being waged against American citizens by foreign criminal enterprises working in partnership with manufacturers in China. This wasn’t luck. This wasn’t stumbling upon a shipment by accident. This was the result of extraordinary intelligence work, coordination across multiple agencies, and the determination of law enforcement professionals who understand that they’re not just doing a job, they’re saving lives. They’re protecting communities. They’re fighting a war that’s been raging in the shadows for decades. How they did it, the operation behind the seizure. So, how exactly did law enforcement pull off what is being called the largest seizure of precursor chemicals in the history of the United States? How do you intercept massive shipments traveling across the high seas from China to Mexico? How do you identify, track, and ultimately seize one 300 barrels of chemicals before they reach cartel controlled labs? The answer reveals a level of sophistication and inter agency cooperation that represents a new chapter in America’s fight against drug trafficking. And it all centers around something called Operation Hydra. Look at that. I also want to thank Customs and Border Protection for hosting us today as well as all the other law enforcement partner agencies that were involved in this seizure. The FBI, the DEA, the Department of Defense, Joint Inter Agency Task Force, US Northcom, as well as the Texas National Guard. At list of agencies involved, the FBI, the DEA, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Defense, US Northcom, the Texas National Guard. This wasn’t one agency working alone. This was a coordinated multi- agency operation that brought together the best expertise from across the federal government and state military forces. But what makes Operation Hydra fundamentally different from traditional drug interdiction operations? This is a brilliant strategy when you think about it. Traditional drug enforcement focuses on catching the finished product, seizing cocaine, heroin, fentinyl, or methamphetamine after it’s been manufactured and is being transported or sold. But Operation Hydra flips that approach entirely. Instead of waiting for drugs to be produced and then trying to intercept them, Operation Hydra targets the chemical precursors, the raw materials needed to manufacture drugs in the first place. Why is this approach so effective? Because of the multiplier effect. When you seize finished drugs, you’ve taken that specific quantity off the streets. But when you seize precursor chemicals, you’ve prevented multiple tons of drugs from ever being manufactured. You’ve disrupted an entire production pipeline. You’ve forced cartels to scramble for new suppliers, new shipping routes, new production facilities. The two shipments intercepted in this operation originated from the same vendor in China and were destined for the hands of the Sinaloa cartel. Think about the intelligence work required to establish that connection. Someone had to identify the Chinese manufacturer. Someone had to track the financial transactions. Someone had to monitor the shipping arrangements. Someone had to establish the connection to the Sinaloa cartel and their labs under construction in Mexico. Under Operation Hydra, HSI used sophisticated analytical tools and techniques along with extensive investigative tools and deep knowledge about crossber trade to identify these shipments before they got into illicit hands. The word sophisticated barely captures what we’re talking about here. This involves analyzing massive amounts of shipping data, tracking financial flows across international borders, monitoring communications, coordinating with foreign intelligence services, and piecing together an enormous puzzle where cartels deliberately try to hide every piece. But here’s where the FTO designation became absolutely critical to this operation’s success. This is the first time ever that a seizure warrant was issued under material support of terrorism statutes targeting a drug cartel. Read that again. The first time ever. This isn’t just a historic seizure in terms of quantity. It’s historic in terms of the legal framework being used. And the implications ripple out in ways that should terrify cartels and anyone who supports them. Under 18 USC 2339B, the material support of terrorism statute. Anyone providing support to designated terrorist organizations faces severe federal penalties. When you’re charged with drug trafficking, you’re facing serious time. But when you’re charged with material support of terrorism, the penalties are far more severe. The resources dedicated to investigating you multiply, the scrutiny intensifies, and perhaps most importantly, the jurisdictional reach expands dramatically. This executive action fundamentally changed the playing field. The ability to obtain warrants under terrorism statutes was only possible because of the executive order designating major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Without that designation, law enforcement would have been operating under the traditional drug enforcement framework. Still powerful, but with significant limitations. Now, let’s talk about the operational challenges involved in actually seizing these chemicals. These weren’t shipments sitting in a warehouse in Texas. Authorities seized both shipments on the high seas, meaning they were intercepted while traveling across international waters. That requires naval assets, boarding teams, legal coordination across maritime law frameworks, and the ability to safely secure and transport massive quantities of hazardous chemicals. After seizing the shipments, HSI International worked closely with foreign law enforcement partners to consolidate the shipments in Panama and then divert them to the port of Houston. Think about the logistics involved. You’ve intercepted two massive shipments on the high seas. You need to consolidate them at a secure location in Panama. You need to coordinate with Panameanian authorities. You need to arrange transport to Houston. You need to ensure the chain of custody is maintained for legal purposes. You need to handle chemicals that in the wrong hands are deadly dangerous. HSI agents in Guatemala, Panama, and Mexico provided significant support to the Homeland Security Investigation team in Houston throughout this investigation. This is true international cooperation in action. American agents coordinate with counterparts in multiple countries, sharing intelligence, monitoring suspects, tracking shipments, and ultimately bringing everything together for a successful interdiction. The Houston Galveastston Seapport area is massive. It’s one of the busiest port complexes in the United States. Thousands of shipping containers move through that facility every single day. Identifying two specific shipments containing precursor chemicals among that enormous volume of legitimate trade requires extraordinary investigative work and technological capability. The many barrels of precursor chemicals are directly linked to one of the most dangerous and deadliest terrorist networks, the Sinaloa cartel. And just to be absolutely clear about who we’re dealing with here, the Sinaloa cartel is one of the most violent and brutal terrorist organizations in the world. They have produced and distributed record amounts of drugs worldwide in response to countless deaths, devastation, and destruction of communities in the United States and abroad. The operation demonstrates something critically important. This seizure represents one of the largest interdictions of its kind in history and highlights the critical role of inter agency collaboration and intelligence sharing in combating threats posed by drug trafficking organizations and terrorist groups. Inter agency collaboration, that phrase sounds bureaucratic, but what it really means is getting people from different agencies, often with different cultures, different priorities, different standard procedures, to work together seamlessly toward a common goal. And when that collaboration works, as it clearly did in this operation, the results speak for themselves. Heroes. That’s exactly what they are. People willing to put themselves in danger. Working long hours analyzing intelligence, coordinating with foreign partners, executing operations on the high seas, all to stop poison from reaching American streets. They deserve recognition. They deserve support. And operations like this prove they deserve significantly more resources to continue this fight. how Elmentoo and drug cartels infiltrate America’s defenses. There’s a question that haunts every major drug interdiction, every successful cartel bust, every seizure of precursor chemicals or finished narcotics. It’s a question that law enforcement officials know all too well but rarely discuss publicly because the answer is so disturbing, so fundamentally threatening to our sense of security. That question is simple. How do they keep getting through? How do cartels move tons of drugs across heavily patrolled borders? How do they transport massive shipments through ports monitored by sophisticated technology and trained agents? How do they consistently stay one step ahead of law enforcement operations that should by all rights shut them down completely? The answer isn’t just about sophisticated smuggling techniques or complex tunnel systems or advanced encryption. The answer is far more sinister and cuts to the very heart of our national security infrastructure. The answer is corruption. systematic, calculated, and devastatingly effective corruption that turns the very people sworn to protect America into accompllices in her destruction. No one has mastered this dark art quite like Nessio Oguera Cervantes, better known by his alias, Elmeno, the ruthless leader of the Halisco New Generation Cartel or CJNG. While the Sinaloa cartel has dominated headlines and has now been designated a foreign terrorist organization, Elno’s CJNG has been quietly and sometimes not so quietly building what may be the most dangerous drug trafficking empire in the Western Hemisphere. Elno didn’t build his empire by being the most violent. Though the CJNG is certainly among the most brutal organizations on the planet, he didn’t build it by having the best chemists or the most sophisticated labs. Though his organization produces industrial quantities of methamphetamine and fentinil, he built it by understanding something fundamental about human nature and institutional weakness. Everyone has a price and every system has a breaking point. The CJNG’s approach to corruption is industrial in scale and military in precision. They don’t just bribe individual officers or agents on an ad hoc basis. They systematically identify, target, recruit, and control law enforcement personnel, government officials, and anyone else who might prove useful to their operations. It’s not corruption in the traditional sense of an opportunistic payoff here and there. It’s the deliberate construction of a shadow infrastructure within legitimate institutions. Think about what this means in practical terms. When the Sinaloa cartel ships precursor chemicals from China through international waters to Mexico, they need those shipments to pass through multiple checkpoints, inspections, and monitoring systems. When those chemicals arrive at Mexican ports, they need customs officials who will look the other way. When they’re transported to cartel controlled labs, they need local and state police who won’t interfere. When the finished drugs are moved toward the US border, they need border agents who will wave them through or at least alert them to enforcement operations so they can adjust their routes. Every single point in that supply chain represents an opportunity for interdiction and an opportunity for corruption. And Elno’s organization has proven extraordinarily effective at exploiting those opportunities. The US Mexico border represents the front line in America’s fight against drug trafficking. It’s heavily fortified, extensively monitored and staffed by thousands of dedicated law enforcement professionals. Customs and border protection employs advanced technology, X-ray scanners, drug sniffing dogs, biometric systems, intelligence analysis software, all designed to detect and stop illicit smuggling operations. And yet, tons of drugs continue to flow across that border every single day. How? The uncomfortable truth is that cartels have successfully recruited agents, officers, and officials on both sides of the border. These aren’t always dramatic cases of agents actively participating in smuggling operations, though those certainly exist. More often, it’s agents who provide intelligence, who alert cartels to enforcement operations, who identify weak points in security protocols, who simply turn a blind eye at critical moments. The recruitment methods are sophisticated and ruthless. Cartels identify vulnerabilities, financial troubles, family issues, personal indiscretions, and they exploit them mercilessly. Sometimes the approach is financial offers of money that can seem impossibly tempting to individuals working government jobs that don’t pay particularly well. An agent making $60,000 a year might be offered $10,000, $20,000, or even $50,000 for a single act of cooperation. to someone struggling with debt, medical bills, or family financial pressures that money can seem like a lifeline. But money is only one tool in the cartel playbook. Often more effective is intimidation. Cartels will identify an agent’s family members, their children, their spouse, their parents. They’ll make it known that they have this information. They’ll demonstrate subtly or not so subtly that they have the capacity and willingness to harm those family members if the agent doesn’t cooperate. Suddenly, an agent isn’t choosing between right and wrong. They’re choosing between following the law and protecting their child. That’s not a choice most people are equipped to make. And once an agent has been corrupted, whether through money or intimidation, the cartel has leverage. They can demand more cooperation, threaten exposure, or simply continue the pattern of payments and threats. The agent becomes trapped, unable to extricate themselves without facing criminal prosecution, professional ruin, and potentially physical danger to themselves and their families. When we talk about cartel corruption, we’re not discussing smallcale graft or isolated incidents of misconduct. We’re talking about operations that move billions, yes, billions of dollars. The profits generated by drug trafficking are so enormous that cartels can afford to spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on corruption and still make massive profits. Consider the mathematics. If a cartel is moving $10 billion worth of drugs into the United States annually, they can afford to spend $1 billion on corruption, bribes, payoffs, protection money, recruitment, and all the infrastructure that supports their criminal enterprise, and still net $9 billion in profit. That’s not even accounting for their other revenue streams, including human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and legitimate business holdings they control. That kind of money buys a lot of cooperation. It buys silence from witnesses. It buys advanced warning of law enforcement operations. It buys intelligence about rival cartels. It buys political influence and protection. And most dangerously, it buys the appearance of legitimacy, allowing cartel operations to hide behind seemingly legitimate business fronts and corrupted officials who provide cover. Money laundering operations associated with cartels are sophisticated beyond what most people imagine. They don’t just stuff cash in duffel bags and transport it across borders, though they certainly do that, too. They run complex financial schemes involving shell companies, international wire transfers, cryptocurrency transactions, real estate investments, and legitimate businesses that serve as fronts for washing drug profits. These operations require cooperation from bankers, accountants, lawyers, and business owners. Some are willing participants, lured by the enormous fees cartels pay for professional moneyaundering services. Others are coerced or manipulated, but the result is the same. A vast financial network that allows cartels to move, hide, and legitimize billions of dollars in drug proceeds. What makes Elmeno’s CJNG particularly dangerous is their willingness to use extreme violence not just against rivals and perceived enemies, but as a tool of corruption and control. While the Sinaloa cartel often preferred to maintain a lower profile, working through established networks and avoiding confrontations with Mexican military and federal forces, the CJNG has taken a different approach. They’ve directly attacked Mexican military convoys. They’ve shot down military helicopters. They’ve openly challenged state and federal authorities in pitched battles that resemble military operations more than criminal activity. This violence serves multiple purposes. It demonstrates the cartel’s power, intimidates potential opponents, and sends a clear message to potential recruits within law enforcement and government. Cooperate with us or face the consequences. The CJNG’s expansion has been meteoric. In less than a decade, they’ve grown from a relatively small regional player to one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world, with operations spanning Mexico, and extending into the United States, South America, Europe, and Asia. This expansion wasn’t achieved solely through better products or more efficient smuggling routes. It was achieved through systematic corruption combined with ruthless violence against anyone who stood in their way. It would be comforting to believe that cartel corruption is primarily a Mexican problem. That American law enforcement is somehow immune to the tactics that have proven so effective south of the border. That comfort would be dangerously misguided. Cartels have successfully recruited American citizens, including border patrol agents, customs officers, local police officers, and even officials in positions of significant authority. These cases, when they come to light, are shocking in their brazeness. Agents using their positions to wave drug shipments through checkpoints, officers providing intelligence about enforcement operations, officials accepting bribes to facilitate moneyaundering operations. But for every case that comes to light, how many remain hidden? how many corrupted officials continue to operate undetected, providing invaluable intelligence and assistance to criminal organizations. Law enforcement officials privately acknowledge that they likely only identify a fraction of compromised personnel, and that realization is deeply troubling. The penetration of American law enforcement by cartel corruption isn’t just a matter of individual criminal behavior. It represents a fundamental threat to national security. When the people tasked with protecting our borders, enforcing our laws, and fighting organized crime are working for the criminals, the entire system is compromised, intelligence is leaked, operations are undermined, cases collapse because evidence mysteriously disappears or witnesses recant, and drugs continue to flow across the border with disturbing ease. So, what can be done? How do you fight an enemy that’s willing to spend billions of dollars to corrupt the very people fighting against them? How do you protect agents and officers from the combined threats of financial temptation and violent intimidation? There are no easy answers, but several approaches show promise. More rigorous background checks, ongoing financial monitoring of agents in sensitive positions, and psychological evaluations designed to identify vulnerabilities before cartels can exploit them. This isn’t about distrusting law enforcement personnel. The vast majority are honest and dedicated. It’s about protecting them and the mission by identifying potential weaknesses before cartels can. One way to reduce vulnerability to financial corruption is to pay law enforcement personnel wages that reflect the dangers they face and the critical importance of their work. An agent who’s financially secure is less vulnerable to bribery. Similarly, providing robust support for agents dealing with stress, trauma, or personal issues can reduce psychological vulnerabilities. If cartels target agents families as leverage, law enforcement must be able to credibly protect those families. Robust protection programs can neutralize one of cartels most effective tools of corruption. Anyone caught cooperating with cartels must face the harshest possible penalties. This includes not just the corrupted agent, but the entire support network that enabled the corruption. Using terrorism statutes, how possible with foreign terrorist organization designations, brings far more severe penalties than traditional corruption charges. Corruption doesn’t respect borders, and neither can the fight against it. Closer cooperation between American and Mexican law enforcement, sharing of intelligence about corruption networks, and coordinated operations against the financial infrastructure supporting cartels are all essential. advanced monitoring systems, blockchainbased tracking of shipments, AI powered analysis of patterns that might indicate corruption. Technology can help identify and prevent corruption that might otherwise go undetected. Every major drug seizure, every successful operation against cartel networks represents a victory. But for every victory, we must ask how many shipments got through because someone was on the cartel payroll. How much intelligence was compromised? How many operations failed because cartels had advanced warning? Thanks for watching. Experience Free Speech
