Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah decried the appalling conditions they witnessed at the border.

A Texas sheriff explained that drug cartels are separating families and using children to make money from the border crisis.

Dannels said of the situation, 'When the cartels are better organized than our federal government, we will lose. And now, we're losing.'

'The cartels are not just a U.S.-Mexico problem I think the way most people see them,' a former Texas Public Safety officer said.

Former President Donald Trump attacked the Biden administration for allowing the southern border to return to chaos and crisis.

'We’re trying to pick up the pieces right now,' the sheriff said of the chaos resulting from the Biden administration's immigration policies.

'We just built roads for the cartels,' Sheriff Mark Dannels says after Biden canceled the border wall's construction.

Former President Donald Trump pardoned former drug kingpin Michael 'Harry O' Harris,' reaffirming his effort to reform the criminal justice system.

The Trump administraion has just completed a major action to blunt the activities of a Mexican drug cartel, thanks to an operation dubbed Project Python.

The tunnel, which starts in Tijuana, Mexico, extends for 4,309 feet - just over 3/4 of a mile, according to a news release issued Wednesday.
