02:27heartbreaking fears of cartel agents retaliating directly against them their families and their friends

02:33with violence and even murder for such for just as much as speaking against the cartels operating in indian

02:41country the mere presence of tribal witnesses in our previous hearings and here today is an act of

02:46bravery and defiance against criminal cartels allowed to wreak havoc by the biden administration's

02:52failed border policies fortunately for the very first day of his second term president trump has stood up and

02:58taken concrete steps to end the biden's border madness and eradicate cartels from the tribal communities in

03:04the united states for example on january 20 20th president trump took an executive action to declare

03:11a national emergency at the southern border to stop the bleeding caused by the biden administration's

03:15guarantee guarantee the state's protection against the criminal migrant invasion and to secure our

03:22southern border moreover president trump finally designated cartels and other criminal organizations as

03:27foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists showing that unlike president

03:34biden who opened up our borders and allowing the criminals to fall into our country unchecked

03:40president trump recognized the existential harm that these transnational cartels impose on our tribal

03:46communities by officially designating these cartels as what they truly are foreign terrorist organizations

03:52that attack our citizens introduced addictive and deadly drugs like fentanyl into our communities and

03:59terrorize indian country from the southern border as far north as the dakotas and montana

04:04all for greed and profit these cartels cartels bring members of our tribal communities under their

04:11harmful influence by introducing highly addictive drugs to them for free sometimes even drugging unknowing

04:17victims once these victims are hooked cartels are forced to and they'll be forced to serve as foot

04:23soldiers peddling drugs to others to pay for their building drug debts and continuing that ugly cycle

04:31fortunately under president trump the massive flow of drugs from our southern border has slowed

04:38southwest border encounters are at an all-time low drug seizure statistics have improved and over overdose

04:43deaths particularly in indian country have decreased gang members from the cartels and the gangs like

04:49chenna la lagwa and ms-13 have been charged indicted convicted and sentenced other gang members have fled the

04:56united states with their tails between their legs in just seven months president trump has finally

05:01secured our southern border and with the passing of one big beautiful bill act congress has secured 165

05:07billion dollars in funding to ensure that our southern border is once again a border law enforcement is

05:12properly equipped to prevent human and drug trafficking and our tribal communities are protected from terrorist

05:18cartels to be clear the war against terrorism cartels and the criminal organizations in indian country

05:23and on federal lands is not over rather it is just beginning now that the biden border crisis is

05:30behind us we can work towards eradicating the cartels allowing tribal communities to thrive
