“The crisis has obviously outweighed our resources and surpassed that. We still see about 100 people on a daily basis along 12th and Jackson engaged in drug use and illegal street vending,” said Tanya Woo, a former Seattle City Councilmember and one of the organizers of the press conference. “We just need some sort of relief for our small businesses.”

Across The Nation
If you are on the Kristi Noem team, you are out kicking ass.
If you are part of a local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team, you are advertising the latest big drug bust after cartel product is able to move past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry, REAL ID checks and a barrier of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels prior to arriving in Hometown, USA.
If you are part of the DEA, you may hope for limited success coming from the Trump/Noem team because what would you do with yourself if cartel drugs could no longer enter the US? Please let us know when Seattle area drug addicts have any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.
If you are part of a local health dept. you are handing out Naloxone as always, to deal with the stuff that doesn’t get reported in the big local drug bust.
If you are part of DOD you avoid barracks maintenance in order to pay for sending The Troops three states over to secure the border while failing to manage federal contracts related to TRICARE.
When all US efforts fail to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US:
Blame Mexico. Or, blame Canada.
A giant flag ritual at the next ball game will make it all good.

Another US Destroyer Deployed To Secure Southern Border
By Peter Aitken – Newsweek
The Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area chases after cartel product not stopped at the border by Kristi Noem.
Will Northwest HIDTA be shut down when cartel drugs stop entering the US? Have recent US Dept. of Homeland Security efforts reduced the need for Northwest HIDTA services?
Any questions from newspeople?
Under Kristi Noem
Cartels move product into all 50 states.
DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:
“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”
Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Old Drug War – Cartels Respond & Move More Product Into The US
Did General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger ever reduce access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.
