the republican congressman And Crenshaw and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) organized an exchange of positions because of the approach that would allow the intervention of the United States Army (UNITED STATES) to combat drug trafficking in Mexico; the most recent being that declared by the Mexican on March 7.
However, the Texas politician’s new response revolved around the four Americans kidnapped in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. This, hours after the government of Mexico announced the discovery of the North American victims, including two unfortunately they were found dead.
In view of this, Crenshaw referred to the opinion communicated by the voice of Governor Américo Villarreal in the traditional Morning of the President in order to reiterate the participation of the American military forces in the fight against the criminal organizations of drug trafficking, in particular those related to the distribution of fentanyl.
“Two of the 4 Americans kidnapped by the Mexican cartels have been killed and we have yet to declare the cartels military targets. It’s time to allow military force against them“, he said through his account Twitter and with a strong call for López Obrador to join the cause that is currently being discussed in the US Congress.
“Are you listening, López Obrador? We would like you to be a partner. Help us help you.”
According to what Villarreal pointed out, it was on the morning of March 7 that the Attorney General’s Office (FGJ) confirmed the whereabouts of Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown, Latavia McGee and Erick James Williams. It is presumed that these two were the only survivors of the abduction and those who would have already been handed over to their loved ones on the border bridge.
In addition to this, it has been reported the arrest of an alleged perpetrator of the abduction, although the identity of the accused or of the criminal group to which he would belong was not specified. In this sense, it turned out to be Grupo Escorpión, arm of the Gulf Cartel, the organization behind the crime.
In this context, it is that the White House and officials of the latter expressed outrage and criticism of Mexico’s security strategy. One of the voices that joined the demands was the Republican lawmaker Lindsey Grahamwho explained the measures he considers relevant
“I would put Mexico on notice. “If you continue to provide refuge to fentanyl traffickers, then you are an enemy of the United States,” he said in an interview with Fox News.
“I would say to the Mexican government, ‘If you don’t clean up your act, we’re going to clean it up for you.’
This was reported by the Attorney General of Tamaulipas, Irving Barrios Mojica, who said early indications suggest Latavia McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Erick James Williams have been mistaken for alleged members of organized crime.
In this sense, Barrios Mojica ruled out it was a direct attack against African Americans. However, he pointed out that there are other avenues of research that still need to be considered.
