DELEGALIZE IT? –
Nov. 14m 2024 – President-elect Donald Trump wants drug traffickers to be executed, and could soon have the authority to make that happen. “These cartels are animals. And that’s why Trump’s gonna take them off the face of earth.”
This echoed Trump’s drug policy agenda, which promised to “wage war on the cartels.” Trump also pledged to fully secure the border, deploy the Navy to disrupt fentanyl being trafficked by ship, and direct the military to launch “covert and overt actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership.”
Claire Zagorski, a harm reduction expert and PhD student in translational science at the University of Texas at Austin, said drug trafficking groups are so successful in part because they’re nimble and can operate from many different countries.
