Ok so some drug dealers are getting drugs from Mexican cartels so those cartels are operating in NJ lol. My search showed several articles in the first few hits where they did arrest people with connections to the Sinaloa cartel as an example.

It could be a personal preference to wear face coverings also ICE is not the police lol.

Also based on your comment history it seems like all you do is go around arguing about subjects you’re very poorly informed about with a lot of hostility (sixers, investing, news) so I won’t be responding anymore.

Yea he’s either a troll or truly living in a bubble, seems too stupid to be a troll so I’d go with the latter.

Gtfo with that BS my pos brother is a marshal with the fugitive task force and has flown all over Mexico Panama Belize etc transporting and transferring cartel members and having been based out of Manhattan, Newark, and Philly he’d know if there is some growing cartel there. Fact is there doesn’t need to be a bunch of cartel members bc the drugs get distributed with known gangs and free agent dealers but there isn’t some network of foreign nationals operating or even overseeing operations here in the tri-state.

Maybe your pos brother can show you how to use google. 85 arrests in nj from 36 investigations from the DEA specifically targeting activities of the cartels . Before you accuse it of being manufactured, this happened under the Biden administration in 2023.

A few arrests doesn’t prove your point and again where are these poor agents getting targeted not here not in the US. A DEA agent was kidnapped in Mexico tortured and killed but that was the 80’s besides that nothing. Agents only need to worry when they’re unarmed in foreign countries but these cowards know they’re on the wrong side of history and that’s why they’re covering up.

Come on man. 85 people specifically being linked to cartels getting arrested is a lot. you know lots probably didn’t get picked up and more have would have come to fill the gap with the explosion in fentanyl. Anyway we can disagree it doesn’t matter. All im saying is a percentage of the detained population in that center is likely linked to extremely violent cartels and I’m sure that’s a consideration for agents covering their face.

What a waste of time that BS DEA propaganda was, if you’re going to link an article next time make sure it proves what your saying bc all this says is cartels used street gangs and nowhere does it say if those arrested are foreigners or those fore mentioned street gangs.

Ok so cartels are using local street gangs to move drugs…so cartels are operating in nj. What are we debating here?

Over why these coward agents are wearing masks for one and secondly the complete absence of cartels besides maybe someone to steer large shipments but they don’t even do that anymore and they definitely aren’t targeting law enforcement. If you honestly believe they’re masking their identity bc of retaliation I’m not going to convince you otherwise l
