Terrorist cartels at war with Trump: bloodshed, machetes, and ruthless crime

From the moment he took office, Donald Trump declared war on the violent cartels destroying America. His government immediately took action, targeting criminal gangs from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and El Salvador. These cartels flood the U.S. with deadly drugs and wreak havoc across the Americas.

Trump’s administration labeled these groups as foreign terrorist organizations. He called them a direct threat to U.S. safety and stability. His goal: to crush the cartels, no matter the cost.

Among the most dangerous cartels are the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the Sinaloa Cartel. Their reign of terror has left countless victims in its wake. These gangs are known for extreme violence, including kidnappings, murders, and torture.

MS-13: kill, rape, control

The MS-13 gang, rooted in Los Angeles, has spread terror across the U.S. and beyond. The gang’s chilling motto is “Kill, Rape, Control.” They use machetes to dismember their victims and show no mercy. Many of their members are young boys fleeing violence in Central America, and they are recruited into a brutal life of crime.

MS-13 is known for its brutal tactics. The gang has been responsible for savage murders, including the 2017 massacre of four young men in New York, beaten to death with baseball bats and hacked apart with machetes. The gang’s horrors include raping and torturing victims, such as a 14-year-old girl held captive for 18 days.

This gang’s influence stretches across 46 U.S. states and countries worldwide. With 30,000 to 60,000 members, MS-13 is one of the largest and most deadly criminal organizations. Their violent crimes have left cities and neighborhoods devastated.

Sinaloa cartel: the sons of El Chapo

The Sinaloa Cartel, led by the infamous El Chapo, has caused immense destruction. El Chapo’s sons continue his criminal empire. The Sinaloa Cartel is responsible for countless murders, including the decapitation of a Mexican mayor and violent clashes with the military.

In 2019, violence erupted in Culiacan when authorities tried to arrest one of El Chapo’s sons. Cartel members fought back fiercely, setting the city ablaze. The Sinaloa Cartel’s power shows no signs of weakening, even after El Chapo’s imprisonment.

Gulf cartel: the monsters

Mexico’s Gulf Cartel is notorious for its violence. Known for driving armored “narco-tanks” into battle, they intimidate and control with brutal force. The Gulf Cartel’s vast network operates in Mexico and beyond, connected to criminal organizations across Europe, Africa, and the U.S.

Their primary business? Drug trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion. The Gulf Cartel is infamous for its bloody power plays and ruthless tactics.

The Colombian cartels: drug lords and death

Colombia is home to some of the world’s deadliest cartels, including the Clan del Golfo. This group controls vast areas and deals in drugs, weapons, and illegal mining. Their leader, Daniel Rendon Herrera, runs a deadly organization that recruits from paramilitary groups. With about 6,000 members, they have spread fear across Colombia.

The Clan del Golfo’s operations aren’t limited to Colombia. They’re deeply involved in global cocaine trafficking. In 2022, the cartel was linked to a record cocaine bust in Italy, showing their far-reaching influence.

Venezuelan cartels: Tren de Aragua

Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua is spreading terror from its homeland to the U.S. and beyond. This gang has been involved in human trafficking, kidnapping, and controlling entire regions. They’ve even turned prisons into mini-cities, with nightclubs, casinos, and wildlife parks.

In a recent raid, authorities uncovered the shocking life inside Venezuela’s Tocorón prison, run by Tren de Aragua. The gang has strongholds in major U.S. cities, where they exploit vulnerable women.

Trump’s war on terror

Trump’s crackdown on these cartels is just beginning. With their blood-stained history and vast reach, these cartels pose a grave threat. The U.S. is prepared for a brutal fight. The goal: to dismantle these deadly networks and restore order.

As Trump pushes forward with his war on terror, the stakes have never been higher. The battle against these violent gangs is crucial to America’s safety—and the stability of the Western Hemisphere.
