Public Affairs efforts commence – the word goes out:
Secretary of Homeland Security delivers no nonsense statements in the March 20, 2025 video posted below. Cartels have been put on notice.
The US federal government lets us know that DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels have been sent towards the US/Mexico border.
Cartels have been designated as terrorists.

Pam Bondi thanks the US Coast Guard for preventing cartel product from arriving in the US:
Weeks Later – Cartels Respond
Cartels respond by moving record amounts of fentanyl past the jurisdiction of federal agents checking REAL ID (since 2009) at borders, border crossings and ports of entry before the drugs arrive inside the US at various locations.
DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels sent towards the US/Mexico border appear to have played no role in keeping cartel product from arriving inside the US weeks after the no nonsense statements made by the Secretary of Homeland Security in the March 20, 2025 video posted above.
In The News
Feds describe fentanyl bust as largest in U.S. history
Austin Fisher – Washington State Standard
May 8, 2025
U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi is calling it the “largest fentanyl bust in our nation’s history.”
“one of the largest and most dangerous fentanyl operations in United States history” — spanning New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah — and distributes drugs “throughout the western United States.”
The Big Drug Bust
The big drug bust is seen as huge success after large amounts of cartel product are able to move past the US Coast Guard, US Navy, DOD ground units and the jurisdiction of US Dept. of Homeland Security federal agents checking REAL ID (since 2009) at borders, border crossings and ports of entry before the drugs arrive inside the US at various locations.
Alternative Media Has Questions
Unlike many local newspapers and TV news stations, alternative media is good about hosting open and active comment sections.
Several comments are posted with the video above.
Local papers have stripped away all comments from past articles, and removed the opportunity to post comments to new articles.
Various newspapers in the Puget Sound area have gone with this trend.
Suppressing comments, getting away from asking questions related to public policy and telling us they need more support in the form of grant money, subscription and advertising sales, etc.
Got it.
