🇺🇸🇲🇽 US Border Czar: "We're Going To Wipe Drug Cartels Off The Face Of Earth"

US Border Czar Tom Homan told Fox News' Jesse Watters that President Donald Trump intends to dismantle the command and control centers of Mexican drug cartels, vowing to "put them out of business" and "wipe them off the face of the Earth." These are strong words against cartels that have fueled a drug overdose crisis responsible for the deaths of 100,000 Americans each year.

Watters asked Homan how cartels have adapted in the last 30 days since Trump's 'America First' border policies of placing the military by the thousands on the southern border...

Homan responded: "Look, they're going maritime. We knew they would. That's why Coast Guard patrols increased by three times. So we're going to shut them down maritime too."
