A reporter asked the president about CIA drone flights over Mexican territory to monitor drug traffickers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said, \"I have a very good relationship with Mexico, but I believe that Mexico is largely governed by the cartels, and that is a sad thing to say. If they wanted help with that, we would give it to them.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The president emphasized that the cartel involvement in the Mexican government has been going on for years, but \u201cespecially now it is led by the cartels.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President Trump's state about Mexico wasn\u2019t supported by any evidence, and the claim that Mexican authorities have allowed \u201cmillions of people to enter our country from prisons and jails all over the world, not just from South America, Africa, Asia, mostly from the Congo in Africa; they opened their prison and came through Mexico, and we have some of the worst criminals coming from the Congo and other places. So, it\u2019s not just South America, and it\u2019s not just Venezuela, but they opened their jails.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump stated that crime rates in Venezuela and other parts of the world have dropped significantly because they\u2019ve sent their prisoners, drug lords, and gang members to the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"They\u2019ve given us their prisoners, they\u2019ve given us their drug lords and their gang members, and it\u2019s hard to believe we accepted this. It\u2019s hard to believe we allowed open borders, and we\u2019re getting, you know, hundreds of thousands and millions of people coming from all over the world, and they are absolute criminals.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this regard, he referred to former Vice President Kamala Harris, saying she never visited the border to address immigration issues, unlike him, while also stating that immigration authorities are doing a great job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have the safest border we\u2019ve ever had, even safer than it was four years ago, and the Border Patrol is doing an incredible job, ICE is doing an incredible job, Tom Homan is incredible, and we have the best numbers we\u2019ve ever had, and we\u2019re going to keep it that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government of Mexico has announced that on Tuesday in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, elements of the Secretary of Security and Civilian Protection (SSPC), the Secretary of the Navy (Semar), Defense, National Guard (GN), and the Attorney General's Office (FGR), along with the Municipal Police of Puerto Vallarta, arrested Aaron Wilkie Murphy, 51, and Hong Thoa Thi Nguyen, alias \"ThaoMurphy,\" 45, both with pending extradition orders and considered priority targets for the U.S. government.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28386\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28386\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28386 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta.png 1280w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-1024x686.png 1024w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-696x466.png 696w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/detenidos-en-pto-vallarta-1068x715.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The government of Mexico has announced that on Tuesday in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, elements of the Secretary of Security and Civilian Protection (SSPC), the Secretary of the Navy (Semar), Defense, National Guard (GN), and the Attorney General's Office (FGR), along with the Municipal Police of Puerto Vallarta, arrested Aaron Wilkie Murphy, 51, and Hong Thoa Thi Nguyen, alias \"ThaoMurphy,\" 45, both with pending extradition orders and considered priority targets for the U.S. government.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both individuals are linked to fentanyl distribution and firearms possession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these actions, as part of the National Security Strategy, the institutions of the Security Cabinet reaffirmed their commitment to bilateral collaboration and coordination for the security of both nations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You may be interested in:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/sheinbaum-sends-letter-to-trump\/\">Sheinbaum sends letter to Trump with data on US steel and aluminum surplus<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escucha esta nota: &nbsp; Pese a lo resultados y al trabajo del gobierno mexicano, encabezado por la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, asegur\u00f3 que M\u00e9xico est\u00e1 gobernado, en gran parte, por los c\u00e1rteles de la droga.
