In April 2006, 23-year-old Christopher Lampkin was murdered in a Salem apartment, shot execution-style, and dismembered by Leonardo Garcia Gonzalez and Victor Gonzalez. His remains were stuffed into a duffel bag and fed to pigs at a Yamhill County farm, where police later recovered partial remains in a feed barrel. The killers were ordered to pay Lampkin's family $1 million, while charges against the farm owner and apartment complex were ultimately dismissed.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Today we will hear from a name that has been mentioned in some recent episodes but has never been on the show to tell his story. The time has come to sit down with retired DEA Special Agent in Charge David Downing. Mr. Downing entered on duty with the DEA in 1995 as a member of Basic Agent Class 95. After graduating the academy in Quantico, Virginia, Mr. Downing served in various roles within DEA in locations such as Houston, Little Rock, the Office of Professional Responsibility in Dallas, Atlanta, and an overseas tour in the Bahamas. Mr. Downing has held the following titles: Special agent, group supervisor, inspector, resident agent in charge, assistant special agent in charge, deputy special agent in charge, and special agent in charge. Special Agent in Charge Downing made it a priority to improve community partnerships as well as relationships with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. In addition, he led the Los Angeles Division through many successes, including two major diversion initiatives that significantly reduced opioid overdoses, the naming of Los Angeles as a 360 Pilot Project for opioid reduction and education, the indictment of Nemesio Oseguera-Cervantes, the leader of the most ruthless drug cartel in Mexico, and the formation of the Fusion Opioid HIDTA Task Force. But his most lasting legacy will be diversifying the Los Angeles Division. We are please that Margaret Bedolla is back as a cohost to help tell this story of leadership, integrity, and the unwavering mission to uplift those around him. Sit back in soak in this genuine good person's story.

Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there's no real justice in America's system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

In this episode of Gangland Wire, I sit down with Keith Grounsell, a veteran lawman whose career spanned patrol, specialized units, and high-stakes undercover work with the DEA. Keith takes us inside the hidden world of narcotics investigations, sharing stories that reveal both the danger and the human toll of living a double life. We talk about how Keith's upbringing as the son of a Marine pushed him toward public service, and how his path eventually led him into the shadowy world of drug traffickers. He recalls the adrenaline of undercover drug deals, the razor's-edge risks, and the constant challenge of protecting his cover while keeping his integrity as a cop intact. Keith also reflects on the strain this life put on his family and the psychological pressure of staying in character for months at a time. His advice to new officers is candid and practical—emphasizing the need for physical fitness, community ties, and strong mental health to survive the demands of the job. Our conversation widens to the broader impact of drug trafficking on crime and communities, and the need for law enforcement to adapt to ever-changing threats. Keith also shares his writing journey, a four-book series titled Narc's Tale, which chronicles his undercover assignments and the lessons he carried forward. This episode offers both gripping stories from the field and a rare inside look at the toll—and the nobility—of narcotics enforcement.

Criticism of JB Pritzker (Governor of Illinois):The speakers argue that Pritzker downplays violent crime in Chicago despite high murder rates. They compare his leadership to officials in Mexico who claim progress while cartels commit violence unchecked. Broader critique of Democrats:Democrats are portrayed as favoring criminals over victims, ignoring rising crime, and pushing policies that weaken law enforcement. The conversation frames them as ideologically extreme and out of touch with public safety concerns. Midterm election outlook (2025):The senator and host discuss Republican opportunities in upcoming elections. They note Democratic fundraising strength but also claim voters are increasingly frustrated with crime and safety issues, which could benefit Republicans. The “Clean DC Act”:The senator introduces legislation to roll back a 2022 D.C. law that reduced penalties for violent crimes. The bill is framed as a test of whether lawmakers side with “criminals or citizens.” Rumors about President Trump’s health:A viral social media claim suggested Trump was dead or incapacitated because he wasn’t seen for a few days. The speakers mock Democrats and the media for allegedly celebrating or hoping it was true. Trump himself is quoted dismissing it as “fake news.” Drug cartels in the U.S.:The conversation highlights a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 members of the Sinaloa cartel. They emphasize the cartel’s national reach, its trafficking of fentanyl, and the dangers counterfeit pills pose to young people. The epidemic of fentanyl deaths is portrayed as a direct result of “Democratic open border policies.” Military and foreign policy against cartels:The senator describes U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and Central America targeting drug traffickers, including deploying stealth jets and naval ships. He recounts visiting prisons in El Salvador housing violent gang members to illustrate cartel influence in U.S. communities. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Debate on the Source of Rights The episode opens with criticism of Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, who argued in a Senate hearing that constitutional rights come from the government rather than from God. Cruz frames this as a radical departure from America’s founding principles, citing the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson’s writings. The discussion emphasizes that if rights come from government, they can be taken away, whereas God-given rights are “unalienable.” Religion and the Democratic Party Cruz and Ferguson argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly hostile toward people of faith (Christian, Jewish, Catholic). They highlight responses from religious leaders, including Bishop Robert Barron, who strongly opposed Kaine’s remarks and defended the idea that rights come from God. Border Security and the Cartels The podcast shifts to the issue of border security and drug cartels, especially the Sinaloa cartel. They cite a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 cartel members in one week, seizing fentanyl and counterfeit pills. Cruz and Ferguson warn about the danger of fentanyl-laced pills, especially for young people, describing it as a national epidemic and the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18–45. U.S. Government Action Against Cartels They discuss U.S. military and DEA efforts to combat cartels, including operations in Mexico, Venezuela, and the Caribbean. Cruz praises the government’s recent designation of cartels as terrorist organizations and the deployment of military assets to fight drug trafficking. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

He also ran cover for the gang against the Massachusetts State Police and the DEA. The FBI's assistance allowed the Winter Hill Gang to surpass the local mafia in earning power and underworld prestige, killing gangsters and civilians along the way.

The Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) have expanded their operations into Hawaii, reflecting their broader penetration into U.S. territories and communities.The Sinaloa Cartel, historically one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations, has been engaged in widespread drug distribution across the U.S. for many years. It has dominated the flow of synthetic drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine, which has exacerbated the opioid crisis in the U.S. The cartel's operations involve extensive networks for smuggling, manufacturing, and distributing drugs, often utilizing advanced methods such as tunnels, submarines, and semi-submersible vessels​The CJNG, under the leadership of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (El Mencho), has rapidly grown in influence and reach. It employs a franchise-like model that allows regional bosses significant autonomy. This cartel has expanded its presence to new markets, including Hawaii, partly by taking advantage of gaps left by other cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel. The CJNG's operations in the U.S. have been marked by extreme violence and significant drug trafficking activities, including the distribution of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine​.Both cartels rely on precursor chemicals from China and clandestine labs in Mexico to produce their drugs, which are then distributed across the U.S. through complex networks involving local gangs and criminal organizations. The DEA and other law enforcement agencies have been actively targeting these cartels' operations through various enforcement operations and indictments, aiming to disrupt their networks and reduce the flow of illicit drugs into American communities​.And now, after establishing a foothold on the Island Paradise, the misery that comes along with the cartels has now arrived.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG target Hawaii with fentanyl and meth.

Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. For more than two decades, David Tyree lived a double life. On the surface, he was a dedicated agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Behind the scenes, he infiltrated some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, outlaw motorcycle gangs and international drug cartels. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “I spent years sitting across from people who wouldn't hesitate to kill me if they knew who I really was,” Tyree said during a recent interview. “The stakes were always life or death. But the mission, to dismantle these organizations, was worth every risk.” He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Undercover Against Motorcycle Gangs Tyree's undercover work included working with outlaw motorcycle clubs, also known as “one-percenters.” These organizations often present themselves as brotherhoods of riders but, as the Department of Justice points out, many function as highly structured criminal enterprises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The ‘Big Four' dominate the outlaw motorcycle scene,” Tyree explained. “These groups aren't just about bikes. They're about drugs, weapons, extortion, and serious violence. My job was to get inside and stay alive long enough to make a difference.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. According to federal reports, there are more than 300 active motorcycle gangs in the U.S. Some operations are small, but others span hundreds of chapters worldwide, often working hand-in-hand with drug cartels. Cartels, Cash, and Money Laundering Tyree's assignments expanded beyond biker gangs. He went undercover as a drug dealer, then later as a money launderer, targeting powerful South American and Central American drug cartels. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “These cartels are multinational corporations of crime,” he said. “Drugs, cash, money, violence, it's all part of their business model. They'll work with anyone who helps them move product or clean their dirty money.” Wikipedia describes cartels as alliances of independent drug lords who collaborate to dominate the illegal trade. Tyree saw firsthand how groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas waged bloody turf wars while smuggling narcotics across borders. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “One day I could be moving fake loads of cocaine, the next day I'd be laundering millions in cash,” he recalled. “The psychological toll was real. You don't just walk away from that without scars.” Shattering the Hollywood Myths Much of what the public knows about undercover work comes from movies and TV. Tyree insists that reality is far different. “One big myth is that agents have to use drugs to prove themselves,” he said. “That's absolutely false. If you do that, you compromise the case. There are ways around those tests of loyalty, and we were trained to handle them.” Another misconception is that undercover life is constant action. In truth, many investigations stretched over a year or more. “Paperwork was just as important as the undercover work,” Tyree explained. “Evidence, lab reports, case files, that's what puts people in prison.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As for agents going “soft” on their targets? Tyree dismisses the idea. “You might build rapport, but you never forget who you're dealing with. These are people who thrive on violence and greed.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Even his own family didn't always know the full truth. “I kept a lot to myself,” he admitted. “Sometimes it was to protect them, sometimes just to keep them from worrying.” Battling Trauma, and Cancer The stress of living under a false identity, constantly under threat, took its toll. Tyree admits nervousness was a constant companion early on. “I had to learn techniques to stay calm, to stay focused,” he said. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As his career wound down, Tyree faced a different kind of fight, cancer. “It was one of the toughest battles of my life, but the same resilience I built undercover helped me through it.” His Cancer diagnosis was the result of a dare and bet. He is a huge advocate for early and frequent health screenings. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Life After the DEA Today, Tyree is retired from the DEA but far from finished with his mission. He serves as a Senior Advisor on Financial Crime Detection and Anti-Money Laundering with Valid8 Financial and is an instructor with the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. With 25 years of experience, he now uses his expertise to help financial institutions, government agencies, and law enforcement combat crime through Bank Secrecy Act, AML, KYC, and due diligence processes. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Whether it was chasing cartels or building compliance systems, the goal has always been the same, protect people, protect society,” he said. Telling His Story Tyree now shares his story through interviews, news outlets, and guest appearances on podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and mroe. His recent feature, Police Under Cover Truths, pulls back the curtain on undercover operations, addressing both the myths and the realities of life in deep cover. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. He also connects with audiences check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where he continues to educate others about the risks of organized crime and the importance of financial vigilance. “I don't glamorize what I did,” Tyree concluded. “It was dangerous, it was messy, and sometimes it was terrifying. But it was necessary. And if people can learn something from my career, whether it's about cartels, motorcycle gangs, or money laundering, then sharing these truths is worth it.” Be sure to check out our website .

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser extended the Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center, created in response to President Donald Trump's federal law enforcement surge. The center coordinates with agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Park Police and Secret Service, while pressing officers to follow standard policing practices such as visible IDs. Trump praised the initiative as a “template,” citing drops in crime, but Bowser warned masked agents had damaged trust. The order gave no end date, underscoring ongoing tensions over federal power in the District.

Get ready for an unflinching dive into the world of drug enforcement on this episode of the Mike Ritland Podcast, featuring Wes Tabor—a 35-year law enforcement veteran who spent over two decades with the DEA, operating across the United States, Central America, and South America. With stints embedded alongside the CIA and authorship credits for his eye-opening book Infiltrate America (plus the upcoming Beyond Blurry Lines set for next summer), Wes doesn't hold back as he recounts the brutal realities of his career. Mike and Wes dismantle pop culture myths about DEA agents—no, it's not all black fatigues and window-storming raids. Instead, Wes paints a picture of tedious investigations that turn spy-like overseas, while admitting the agency often fails at public messaging, leaving misconceptions about their focus (hint: they weren't chasing small-time weed dealers, but multi-ton shipments of cocaine and heroin from cartels in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico). He pulls no punches on DEA leadership, calling out bureaucratic inertia, "latte commandos," and a culture that stifles real change, drawing parallels to issues plaguing the FBI, ATF, and even the military. Tune in for a masterclass in resilience from a guy who's seen it all—and isn't afraid to call it like it is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Together, they uncover the hidden power of the Cartel de los Soles, a Venezuelan syndicate that operates at the intersection of organized crime and geopolitics.

Tres semanas después de que Donald Trump ordenara el despliegue de la Guardia Nacional en Washington para combatir la delincuencia, nuestro corresponsal en la capital recogió las opiniones de habitantes sobre la presencia de militares armados en las calles, así como de vehículos blindados ligeros y MRAPs. El despliegue de 2.200 soldados de la Guardia Nacional en Washington comenzó el 11 de agosto. Unos días después, la unidad asignada a la ciudad empezó a portar armas. Actualmente, efectivos no solo de la capital, sino también de Virginia Occidental, Carolina del Sur, Ohio, Misisipi, Luisiana y Tennessee —estados gobernados por republicanos— refuerzan la operación. El mandatario republicano los desplegó para lo que él describe como "una ofensiva contra la delincuencia en la capital", dirigida por demócratas. Frente a la Casa Blanca, donde turistas se toman fotos, miembros de la Guardia Nacional caminan en fila con pistolas y rifles. A pocas cuadras, en el Mall Nacional, se observan vehículos blindados, como Humvees y vehículos militares de transporte tipo MRAPs. Arthur Estupiñán, ciudadano latino de Washington, ve con buenos ojos esta presencia militar. "El despliegue de la Guardia Nacional y los agentes del ICE [Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos] ha sido sumamente exitoso. En los últimos 7 a 9 días, no ha ocurrido ningún asesinato. Es una victoria para el presidente Trump. Esto va a traducirse en un crecimiento económico extraordinario porque ya las personas no tienen miedo pues ven que las ciudades son seguras". Un despliegue que cuesta más de 1 millón de dólares diarios Desde que Trump decretó el estado de emergencia por inseguridad el 11 de agosto, cerca de 2.200 miembros de la Guardia Nacional y 500 agentes federales de ICE, FBI y la DEA han patrullado barrios, realizado redadas migratorias e instalado retenes militares y de tránsito para detener a supuestos criminales. Según investigaciones de organismos privados, este despliegue cuesta más de un millón de dólares diarios. Para un latinoamericano que prefirió guardar el anonimato por seguridad, y que trabaja en una empresa de mudanza, la sociedad vive bajo temor: "Todos están asustados de venir a [Washington] D.C. Trabajo para una empresa en la que todos son latinos, todos tienen miedo y nadie quiere venir a trabajar a DC. Nadie quiere arriesgarse. Mi mujer ni siquiera se arriesgó a traerme hoy al trabajo. Todo esto es una mentira porque nunca hubo el gran crimen que Trump dice que había antes". Unas 1.200 personas han sido arrestadas desde que comenzaron las operaciones, según cifras del Departamento de Justicia. Sin embargo, oficiales del gobierno citados por The Wall Street Journal aseguran que la mitad de las detenciones corresponden a migrantes indocumentados en colegios de mayoría hispana, iglesias latinas, restaurantes y retenes improvisados. Don Folden, quien pone música frente a la Casa Blanca, no parece impresionado por la operación: "He estado en DC desde hace 50 años y tuvimos varios años entre los 80 y 90 en donde fuimos la capital mundial de los homicidios. Lo que [la administración Trump] está haciendo ahora no tiene nada que ver con la seguridad. Yo diría en cambio que es una distracción. Fíjese, cuando llegué esta mañana, vi a la Guardia Nacional recogiendo basura del parque". Según la Policía Metropolitana de Washington, que hoy está bajo control federal, los crímenes violentos se redujeron 23% en comparación con las dos semanas previas al decreto de emergencia. Sin embargo, expertos advierten que la baja puede responder a un efecto de choque, a la inactividad de la ciudad durante agosto y a que la tendencia ya era descendente antes de la militarización.

Then we speak with Trevor DeGroote of Trinity Training and Security about the rise of the private security industry in America. Then we wrap it up with retired DEA agent Vann Winn who gives Skip a streetwise education on illegal drugs and crime. It was dicey.

Washington, D.C. isn't just a backdrop of monuments and marble. It's a living, breathing city—home to more than 700,000 people who work, who raise kids, who build their lives here. Known for decades as Chocolate City, D.C. carries a proud history of Black culture and resilience. And yet, unlike every other city in the United States, its residents watch democracy without fully taking part in it. They pay billions in federal taxes. They serve in the military. And still, they live under taxation without representation—the very injustice that fueled the Boston Tea Party and launched the American Revolution. More than two centuries later, the capital of the United States remains the only city where that founding demand is still denied. And here's the twist—this federal district is saturated with law enforcement. Dozens of agencies with arresting authority overlap in the same small space: the Metropolitan Police, Capitol Police, DEA, FBI, Secret Service, Park Police, Transit Police. And more recently, the National Guard and ICE. A city layered with power, yet stripped of the most basic power its people should hold—the right to representation in Congress. This is Dispatch from the Heartland. In today's episode, Ty Hobson Powell brings urgency and fire to the fight for DC statehood, making the case to Corbett Landes and Tammy Buckner that it's time for the capital to finally become the 51st state. This isn't just politics. It's about identity, equality, and the unfinished promise of democracy in the United States. We're at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska—join us, won't you?"

Guest: Rafa Conde — Founder & CEO of Man of War, former DEA/Narcotics/SWAT officer, best-selling author, host of the Men of War podcast (35M+ downloads), elite leadership coach, and multimillion-dollar entrepreneur. Early Hustle & Lessons: Rafa's first money came washing cars at age 11, developing a bias for action, self-reliance, and learning to execute before overthinking or overplanning. Early entrepreneurship shaped his long-term drive to “just do it” — a theme he now instills in men seeking discipline and legacy. Wall Street to Law Enforcement: Spent 12 years on Wall Street, managing nearly $1B in assets, establishing himself as a high-producer and eventually running his own branch. Left for a greater sense of purpose, becoming a police officer at age 32 in one of the nation's most violent cities, later working narcotics, SWAT, and ultimately as a DEA task force officer. Rafa describes giving up material wealth and status and embracing “starting from scratch” as crucial for true growth and reinvention. Law Enforcement, Humility, & Adversity: Made his mark through work ethic and results—leading felony arrests and serving in specialized units (including undercover work and federal task force roles). Learned from major setbacks: lost home, cars, and income in the transition, but rebuilt through tactical training contracts and martial arts instruction, showing lasting resilience and adaptability. Reinvention: Founding Man of War: Later transitioned to building Man of War—a movement and business designed to restore “the warrior mindset” and healthy masculinity through high-impact events, masterminds, and coaching. His podcast "Men of War" surpassed 35 million downloads by championing direct, honest conversations about discipline, code, and male brotherhood in today's world. Philosophy on Masculinity & Leadership: Key problem: Modern men have grown soft, seeking comfort and avoiding adversity; true growth requires struggle, competition, and camaraderie. Emphasizes leading by example—“If you can't lead yourself, don't expect to lead anyone else.” Rejects “false leadership” based on rank—respect must be earned by character, resilience, and the courage to do hard things. Recommends men start with competition (e.g., martial arts) and purposely place themselves in uncomfortable situations to develop confidence, grit, and self-mastery. Programs, Reach, & What's Next: Man of War now provides elite events (“Crucible”), global masterminds (“House of Kings”), and a fast-growing father-son program (“Odyssey”), expanding across the US, Latin America, Europe, and beyond. Rafa continues to consult for top companies and help men build modern legacies based on strength, discipline, and honor. Connect with Rafa Conde & Man of War: Website: https://www.rafajconde.com/

Jenna's husband, Henry Hager, gets a crash course in learning how to co-host a talk show. Also, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali stop by to catch up and talk about co-starring in ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth.' Plus, Dwyane Wade opens up about his personal health story and the journey he went on after being diagnosed with cancer. And, Brian Tyree Henry joins to discuss his show ‘Dope Thief,' which centers on a group of friends who pose as DEA agents.

The July 2010 killing of Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel by the Mexican Army delivered what the DEA described as a crippling blow to the Sinaloa Cartel's internal structure, especially its control over trafficking corridors through western Mexico. Coronel's death fractured the cartel's ties with the Milenio Cartel, creating a power vacuum that triggered infighting and splintering. Rival groups quickly emerged from the chaos—most notably the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and La Resistencia—each fighting to inherit Coronel's lucrative networks and territories.This shift ignited a violent struggle for dominance across Jalisco and surrounding states, with no central authority to enforce order. The instability produced a surge in violence as new groups challenged Sinaloa's dominance, reshaping Mexico's organized crime landscape. In the long run, the CJNG rose from this vacuum to become one of the most powerful rivals to the Sinaloa Cartel, a trajectory that can be traced directly to the fallout from Coronel's death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ciudad Juarez: Ignacio Coronel and What Happens After a Drug Lord is Killed - The Awl

President Donald Trump wants to put an end to "debanking," the practice of closing accounts or denying services based on political beliefs. The president claims it has happened to him, his family, and other conservatives who suddenly lost access to financial services. FOX Business Network's Brian Brenberg, co-host of The Big Money Show, joins the Rundown to break down what “debanking” is, reports that bank executives were pressured by Democrats to target certain businesses and industries, and what the president is doing to try to stop it. This week, thirty alleged members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and their associates were charged by a federal grand jury in Colorado in two separate indictments. This followed a nine-month investigation involving local police, the FBI, the DEA, and the ATF. The charges include murder-for-hire, drug trafficking, and firearms offenses. ATF Special Agent in Charge for the Denver Division, Brent Beavers, discusses the investigation. Then, Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky explains how the case was politicized early on and how the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies have impacted her community   Plus, commentary from the host of FOX Across America and FOX News Saturday Night, Jimmy Failla.

Chris Feistl and David Mitchell (After Escobar: Taking Down the Notorious Cali Godfathers and the Biggest Drug Cartel in History) are former DEA agents. Chris and David join the Armchair Expert to discuss the Miami Vice dream of being stationed in 1980s Florida as a DEA agent, the mechanics of providing transport for drug cartels, and how they became involved in the pursuit of the Cali cartel in Colombia. Chris, David, and Dax talk about the true magnitude of Pablo Escobar as the world's first narcoterrorist, how Cali cartel's approach to power differed from Medellín's, and why those at such a high level in cartels can't quit while they're ahead. Chris and David explain breaking the rules by working unilaterally to get the job done, operating under the assumption that everything and everyone was corrupt, and the real-life raid to capture the head of Cali that inspired Narcos Season 3.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
