Luis Navia is a former Cartel kingpin. For 25 years, Navia was the preeminent smuggling expert for the Mexican, Colombian, and European Cartels. He was taken down in one of the largest drug raids of all time, “Operation Journey” (2000).

On the southern border, there is a legal concept known as “reasonable fear.” If an asylum officer determines that a migrant has a “reasonable fear of persecution or torture” if returned to their home country, then removal procedures can be delayed. And, in the current border crisis, there’s been no greater source of “reasonable fear” cases than the Mexican drug cartels and organized crime.

An all-out cartel war just exploded south of the border in Mexico and now officials are warning the violence could spill into the United States. A mile from the Texas Mexico border Cartel Gun battles resulted in six people killed and vehicles with texas license plates burned and shot to pieces – this is all according to state police.
