New Resolution Allows Trump To Use ‘Full Force’ Of The Military Against Cartels

Their mothers would be proud

Congress is tossing President Trump a big, shiny green light to go full Chuck Norris on the Mexican drug cartels. 

Rep. Greg Steube (FL-R) with a knack for stirring the pot, dropped a resolution that would let Trump unleash the “full force” of Uncle Sam’s military might on nine of the nastiest criminal outfits south of the border. We’re talking the big dogs—MS-13, Tren de Aragua, the works.

Steube’s not mincing words here. He’s calling these cartels out for “violating the territorial integrity of the United States” and slapping a “clear and evident danger” label on ‘em. 

“Until such time that the Mexican government finally steps up and squashes the drug cartels who use Mexico as their home base, Congress must give President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth the green light to take a sledgehammer to these criminal networks and their supply chains.” Yeah, he said “sledgehammer.” 

The resolution’s got some teeth, too—it’s aiming to authorize Trump’s crew to hit these nine cartels where it hurts, claiming they “present an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.” The goal? Total wipeout. 

“It is the policy of the United States to ensure the total elimination of these organizations’ presence in the United States and their ability to threaten the territory, safety, and security of the United States through their extraterritorial command-and-control structures, thereby protecting the American people and the territorial integrity of the United States,” it reads. 

This isn’t coming out of left field, either. 

Trump’s State Department already tagged eight of these groups as foreign terrorist organizations, cutting them off from U.S. cash flow. “Terrorist designations expose and isolate entities and individuals, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and the resources they need to carry out attacks,” they said. Smart move—starve the beast, right?

But here’s the kicker: Trump’s team is already knee-deep in a legal slugfest over the Alien Enemies Act, trying to fast-track deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua goons. Some progressive judge—James Boasberg—threw a wrench in it, saying it’s “outside of the typical wartime context.” 

So now, while Trump’s fighting that courtroom mess, Steube’s resolution is basically handing him a bazooka to finish the job. Stay tuned—this one’s gonna get loud.
