Officials: Mexican drug cartel targets Native American reservations with fentanyl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Federal officials say Mexican drug cartels have targeted the six Native American reservations in Montana because they can make bigger profits farther away from the Southern border, and because there is less law enforcement. NBC's Cynthia McFadden reports on the challenge and speaks with the former head of the DEA in Montana.

Close the border!
If guns don’t shoot themselves, fentanyl doesn’t take itself. We don’t have a drug problem, it’s a mental health issue just like you Republicans say.
Trump and Mike Johnson said don’t close the border
@@Underdog271says the racist who hates indigenous peoples.
Yes tell biden to close the boarder now.
@@Underdog271proof neither party cares about millions of new residents.. affordable housing just got lost priority cuz the competition is fierce .
This has been going on for so long. This is the first time I've seen it on national news. It needs much more attention: like the Indigenous youth suicide rate.
It seems they don’t care about any Americans, not even the Native Americans. Thats crazy…
It’s because of the culture.
Its because of capitalist culture.
That’s what happens when you force a free people to life on the most undesirable plots of land this continent has to offer.
Blame it on the American citizens (colonizers) who move it around and within the US
How did they get into the country...Oh yeah they just walked in.
Yeah republicans do business with them till this day. Oh you don’t know or you forgot
@@Underdog271the racist who hates indigenous peoples has to stalk everyone. Pathetic.
Uniparty and their Chinese communist masters
What is wrong with this country. All of this money going overseas and the military and nothing for our folks??
The overseas money is getting kicked back
Look at what's wrong with you and you can understand what's wrong with country
Did you see all the money buried in the recent spending bill that failed that was to go bailout Democrat sanctuary cities to support all the illegal immigrants? Money for illegals but NONE for the reservation drug problem……priorities
That's why I'm hesitant to be proud of America rn. It's sad.
What do you expect free handouts?
This fetty is more of a killer than anything out there right now. Glad i got out of that Russian roulette game playing i was doing. It killed my entire group of buddies. I live a ruff life now knowing all this. Everyday is a struggle
Man let yourself off the hook. They made a choice, and so did you. Fortunately your still here to tell the story. As a former addict, trust me you have to live too. Things happen but everyday we are given a way out, keep going. Looking back isn't going to do you any good.
God bless you 🙏🏽 Stay Prayed up!!
that’s insane. i don’t have another word for it. i hope that you have the support you need in the aftermath of that many losses…i also hope you remember that it’s not your fault. they made their own choices, harsh as that may sound.
Try to stay positive
Pine Ridge Reservation in SD banned SD governor from their land because she supports closing the southern border.
So, there's that.
Pretty stoopedd, people just aren't smart these days
I don't understand why common people want open borders. How do they think unvetted mass migration would possibly benefit anyone but traffickers, politicians and oligarchs? But then I'm largely immune to propaganda.
That makes no sense. Pine Ridge leaders need to wake up to realty of migrant invasion!
He probably has connections to the cartel.
Just like this lady on my reservation was a great educator and one day she decided to Destroy our own peoples lives.
She should be disenrolled from the crow tribe for betraying our people.
Congress also doesn’t support closing the border or they would sign the bill they helped put together. So there’s that
Some day maybe we will get politicians that actually care about the people.
This is what we voted for, isn't it? 81 million of us?
Someday we will get a population that knows the name of their senator. Just Let them know bidens open border hasent helped America
As long as we have capitalism that will never happen
Bernie Sanders brought me into politics- the 1st to ever mention Natives; visited reservations- without press; became educated & even had Natives on staff. His ideology mirrored the Native way enough to get me to vote. Now, done with politics again😤. Have returned to Native way best of ability in a colonized world 😔
@Halfcrowindian Bernie never worked a honest day of his life
Does anybody but me think the federal government lets this happen?
Of course they did $$$
I'm with you on that opinion.
Of course they are
who could've seen this coming with the border wide open
You can’t rewrite history. This has nothing to do with the border. But trump said don’t close the border so there’s that
Why not? The cartel has been taking young girls from the Res too!
This. These communities are cheap, low oversight locations to coordinate their other activities. There's a limit to how much drug profit you can squeeze from a small rural town.
The natives let them
no they don't
@@Ese361
This is SHAMEFUL
7 police officers for the whole reservation. That's insane.
This has CIA written all over it
China
Biden wants this so he can exterminate us and give our land to criminals.
Do you mean China Intelligence Assets?
@@jamescarter8761Idiotic troll
It's funny how America always places the blame on other countries... They never take responsibility.. Mexican drug cartels don't have nothing on American drug cartels...
Then the us government better get a grip on this and take the fight on their grounds. this should anger not only me but the entire country!!!! the native American's should no longer be a victim of any kind!!!. billions of dollars to ukraine but cant spare a dime to help out every american!!!.
Why doesn't America stop selling pornographic films?
They have been in a state of emergency since the Pilgrims
Well, they weren't holding hands around the campfire before the pilgrims arrived either.
@@Housemusic86 Actually millions and millions of them were.
@@Housemusic86 so tired of that bs argument..We all live on stolen land tgat the military gov't genocuded indigenous people like they have been doing for centuries now. It's tired and dumb.
@@Housemusic86wrong racist. We didn't have the concept of mass destruction nor extermination as you do.
Pilgrims hated the British. Get it right.
Cartel trying to secure land smh...
That is so sad for the Native American people have to go through 😞
Everyone is going through it.
It's pouring over the open border into all of America. If only Biden would do his job...
Yes many, many communities are struggling with this problem, but to target the Native American population is so sad. They’ve suffered enough as it is.
For All of us! My sister died of Fentnyl
@@pambeck324yeah they suffered a lot while murdering and enslaving each other for so many years…
It comes from China folks
Pay back for both opium wars in China lol
Instead of also regurgitating cH1nA in every comment section, I propose that supposedly El Chapo told the American Government if they didn't release him he would release the ‘Little Blue Devils on America’. And that’s just what happened after 2019. Deaths from overdoses dramatically increased. All kinds of things were being laced. This conspiracy theory has never been proven but it makes you wonder the correlation between the increase in illegals in sanctuary cities along with a general Laissez-faire style of criminal justice.
@@teovu5557 a child’s logic.
Look up “logical fallacy“. The Tu Quoque Fallacy
Brought to you by JOE BIDEN.
who runs the whtie house. they send israel billions in america's wealth. why?
The Montana Governor needs to sue the federal government concerning this situation
You mean sue the Biden Administration who's allowing it to happen in order to win the next presidency
Montana doesn't have enough budget to fix the law enforcement?? Is it corrupt and broken? I don't get it. Where are the taxes going?
Type of police are required to be federally funded because it is sovereign land under the auspices of the bia which is a nationally known corrupt the benefit to allowing a generation to be killed as that same generation will not be able to protest the robbing of the natural resources by strip mines yes Sinaloa want to steal the land to manufacture and grow illegal and the US government finds that to there use. Meanwhile the redneck Republican governor in South dakota who allows ongoing off-reservation deprivement of native rights is not welcome on the due to her prejudicial statements as well as chronic lack of cooperation..
Probably a racist republican state they are modern neo/confedarates …so money looted into their own pockets …
What does the DEA do?
traffick for dark projects because you can't submit anti-american dark activities in a written budget to Con-gress.
still handing out those tainted blankets in 2024
Said Mexico dum as....
@@grandmaLilith That's just more anti-wyt propaganda. In the 1800s how would they possibly have safely handled smallpox and prevented an outbreak to the 'cowboys' and 'pioneers' who were busy building massive Greek Revival buildings in the middle of nowhere to honor the state? Check out Robert Sepehr if you'd like to start seeing through the web of lies we call 'history'.
They were chewing the blankets?
There were no tainted blankets that’s just a myth. And it’s proven by the fact that germ theory hadn’t even become a theory yet! The settlers passed certain diseases unintentionally that killed many Indians.
The Spanish colonizers didn't do it, and most Mexicans are also part native so...
As a Mohawk Dutch person I can guarantee you this wouldn't happen in our reservations or to our people Mohawk people We're strong These other tribes should stand up and be stronger Don't give in to this stuff they're trying to take us out Why you think the US government's not doing anything about fentanyl really at all because they already know about this situation with the cartel is trying to take out Native Americans
Close the freaking border! Worst President ever.
There is a bill to do that but GOP refuses to pass the bill. Donald Trump ordered them to not cooperate. He wants to keep the problem as a campaign issue.
@arlenetrainor8913 probably should read the whole bill and see where the special interest money goes as well. If it simply was close the border then yes but they never are never that simple.
@@arlenetrainor8913 Giving the Ukraine billions and continuing to let illegals cross our border doesn't secure the border. You clearly aren't very bright.
@@arlenetrainor8913 Democrats load bills with poison pills like reckless spending likely to cause more inflation so the Republicans won't vote for them and low information people like you will blame the GOP.
@@arlenetrainor8913 factually incorrect. Read the Constitution. The President has direct control of the border and can shut it down at his discretion without any input from Congress. Remain in Mexico was about executive order. Biden removed it because it was Trump’s policy and that’s why we have this onslaught. 5,000 illegal immigrants a day is what this bill allows. That is unacceptable and currently what we have now. Read more and learn about your own country before you start blaming either side for a problem.
Much love to our Native brothers and sisters stay strong and may God bless your community.😞🙏🏽✊🏽
FINALLY!!! Something that needs to be talked about. Also actions taken.
We need more law enforcement officers now.
Who are you fooling. A lot of them are in on it!
@@Littlemiss90 not all are not.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN YOUR FIGHT. ❤
Thank joe
No😔, poor Native Americans they've been through a lot and now this. They need peace and to be able to persevere, but stuff like this is terrible.😔 Wish them the best.
@@OmarsShotgun What tolerance? To fentanyl?
Alot are drug addicts@@anadiaz3928
@@OmarsShotgunyou're a racist not surprised at all. Typical.
@@anadiaz3928look mr victim.. you're stupid. They clearly meant their resiliency to overcome any situation ffs.
@@OmarsShotgunlet’s not get started on the blacks… 90% of violent crime in America is committed by what race?
This situation should not be and more state, county, and federal partnership activity is necessary. The US has money for Ukraine, Israel, and others but not enough for local communities. It seems like misplaced priorities and poor leadership.
In other news the Oglala Sioux Tribe barred South Dakota Governor for considering sending razor wire to the border to prevent the invasion of illegal immigrants, drug traffickers and human traffickers. 😂
Really? Wow
They might wanna rethink that decision...
They aren’t sending us their best
exactly like Killers of the Flower Moon
This is bad no doubt, but some indian reservations in northern CA are growing a lot of marijuana fields and then sell it to the black market. They do whatever they want they wanted autonomy. Cartels are despicable but what about demand?? Why people love to blame others
Haven’t First Nations people been put through enough?
Stay strong, Americans ❤
They should start a volunteer posse. Arizona has one.
Terrible and evil!
Thank you Joe Biden 😮
Economics - Supply & Demand
I cannot stand drug use ..I've seen what it has done to my family .
But the solution will always be on the demand.
Agreed but imagine what just a slice of $70 billion for Ukraine could have done to create opportunities in the US could have done.
Ye, it needs attention.
The USA needs to stop arming the cartels and blaming just one side.
We know in Mexico how the C.I.A was working with the cartels.
Tell your audience that
Easy way to stop overdosing is to just stop using period
Sad to such a rich culture suffering
Wiping out as they buy all the land. Sounds typical.😢
Bureau of Indian Affairs should be ran by native Americans or dismantled for incompetence.
Thank you ma'am. Truer words have never been spoken
Law enforcement is in on it!!
Our American Indians deserve better 🪽🇺🇸🪽
What’s the over under on whether anybody pronounces “fen ta NYL” correctly or whether they all say “fenta NOL” like it’s some kind of alcohol? Any bets?
It's here in Kremmling Colorado
I don't want to hear it, the wolves have been allowed to come into the hen house. I don't want to hear anybody crying when they feed...Keep voting Blew
Maybe if we pass the permanently open border deal that will fix the problem
I'm so sorry
But why not try weed
It's Montana, weed is legal and every tribe gets a license to grow and sell. The very remote reservations can sell in the nearest urban(by Montana standards) area.
Stop giving cash to the tribeman.
How sad
How come we haven't sent the national guard.!
While instituting a acupuncture intervene program.
The same way pharmaceuticals targeted and preyed on the vulnerable and suffering for decades. In fact I doubt many families or victims were rightly nor fairly compensated.
So why do they keep voting Democrat?
Need to call in the sprits!!✨
What happened to just say NO
Probably has something to do with generational trauma, class division and a calculated effort to destroy a beautiful culture and it's people. Tell me you are white and privileged without telling me anything about yourself.
Who's bringing it on the reservation and why are people being stupid doing that crap
Not everyone grows up with the same set of tools in their toolbox. Why do fat people keep eating?
This is what happens with a open boarder since 2021. Pres Jackson who did the Trail of Tears was a dem too.
They should sue mexico.
Pray ! Revelation 20 ! We can’t just sit back while our nation is being attacked
Casino money pays for the drug money it’s all one happy circle
Huhmmmmmyeaaa
(Drum bang noises)
Huhmmmmdillyyahhhh
(Drum bang noise)
Huhmyahhhhhhhhhh
The peace pipe is hitting over here idk bout yall
I mean this is what biden meant with open boarder policies, i guess that trump's border policies were not so inappropriate.
So why is trump telling congress not to close the border?
@@Underdog271racist liar. Who are you stalking next.
@@Underdog271you call allowing 5,000 to cross per day closing the border? How does 60 billion for Ukraine and 14 billion for Israel do anything for our border? Just a sad attempt on behalf of the "sanctuary city, no person is illegal" party to deflect blame for yet another disastrous policy. Have you no shame?
@@Underdog271 Why did d-rats change his policy that resulted in the current open border?
@@Underdog271Biden has always had a grudge against Native Americans his entire career. No surprise this is happening under him.
Close the border! The US needs to declare an emergency and close the border! A radical bill should be passed for federal agents to capture drug dealers and cartels. People are dying.
Waschitu
Greed kills
Prayers for all of the people affected by this
Sorry this is sad, however the Indians in Arizona will not close the border. 😢
Thanks joe Biden
GOP just tanked the Bill to shut down the Boarder .....Cuz Donald Rump asked for it..... where does Joe Biden fit into that equation ??
Why doesn’t this make all of the news media? Where is the media and the politicians? Where is Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Obama’s, Clinton’s, why are they all silent?
Smh they are buying it from them at the res
Oh my Lord
Some Native Americans were defending leaving the border wide open not too long ago.
Iirc they were saying the illegal immigrants had rightful claim to the US
This is what we need to focus on in America, not middle east. 😔
They vote for the people who let it in. So…. 🤷🏻♂️
They learned from the pharma companies that did it first and tough them how
Sorry, not likely that addicts on the Res can pay $100 for a pill.
Exactly
This has been happening for a long time..im glad its finally national news
Remember this when natives condemn anyone supporting a real border.
It’s terrible how Mexico isn’t doing anything to combat the Cartels and our president keeps the border open. But this media channel won’t talk about that right?
Where do people get the money, start there
What do you expect open borders
The government has allowed this to happen. They planted it!
The government wont care.
That's terrifying
Make no mistake the US Government is complicate as well.
Nothing to see here. There is no fentanyl crisis. There is not boarder crisis.
Cartels are terrorists… yet we do nothing; declare nothing. What does that say about our Government?
We have got to do something
I wonder how much of the $60,000,000,000.00 they could use?
I applied to be police for the reservations. More than once.
Wow, if only something could be done.
Quit voting for Democrats in the self-serving hope of more freebies and a free lunch. That is not what created a great nation. It never will.
I WONDER IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME A JOB AS A POLICE OFFICER ON THE RESERVATION!?!?!?!?
“Target” isnt exactly an accurate word to use in this context.
No one is forcing these people to get high.
The cartels are simply meeting demand like they do in any other place in this country that has drug addicts.
Cartels make addicts. They created the demand. Use your brain.
america has become so soft it's sickening.
It's biden, and the democrats 😢problem
We're losing our national sovereignty day by day while our democratic friends continue to make it worse under the guise of democracy.
It has always been soft
Are you doing anything proactive to help the issues or you're just piling on by crying about the same stuff year after year...lol so funny
Thank the lawyers and politicians.
So sad to hear this, My heart goes out to them . I hope they receive the help and support they need .
They won't
I'm guessing you support Biden keeping our open border while engaging three war's?
Haha this has been happening since the stone age 😂
They have gotten the shaft for 250 years what makes you think mumbling Joe is going to help

@ericgordon6829
Native Americans are uniformed and continue to VOTE in donkeys (Lib/lft) with hidden intentions to keep in their Socialist State. Especially into their own Sovereign Govermnt. (Its corrupt too).
When you CONTINUE to give ,give, give (handouts) .. they will CONTINUE to come back believing in SOMEONE ELSE is ther to take care of them ..REGARDLESS if they were FIRST NATIONS /HERE BEFORE Europe.
Welfare systems NEED to stop and these Soveriegn Govermnts should put in place a Trade School to help them learn about creating jobs/ training in jobs and such.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY get a mission together to assist with Alcohol, Mental illness (bcz thr is A LOT of mntl illnss on Native Reservations) ... a REAL ASSISTANCE with the Native struggle with.
Most Native families just turn a eye when their family member go dwn this road, or worse when they witness their own ppl spiral into these struggles.
There is so much that CAN BE DONE with funds the Native Govermnt recieve to funnel it bk towards helping their own people... but just like U.S Gvrmnt it too is imbedded with corruption.
The education systems on reservation are by far the worse.. of coarse it has it basics but it should other studies as with credit, money, jobs, family, even studies on THAT THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE RESERVATION that they shouldnt be afraid of seeing it/ experiencing it.
I have a heart for my own people (Natives/ 1st Nations) but this cycle of socialist leaders NEED TO GO.
As a Montanan, I'm so glad this is finally being discussed. This is also happening on other Reservations in other states as well.
So when Dave Chappelle told the guy at the Walmart his name was “ black feet “ he wasn’t joking it’s a real name lol
Happens all over. You clowns only care when it happens to you, and you clowns vote for the people who let them in. 🤡
Censored my comment
It is, and the borders are wide open. They're being trafficked. There are So Many Missing girls that no one is even looking for. It's time they gave them the same protection as any other Americans
**Exactly**
Also it is known, people with the power to act do nothing to stop the harm rendered to AMERICANS. Nor to stop the flow of illegal substances into AMERICA.
SOMEONE, mentioned sue the federal government, as the fiduciary of all people residing in AMERICA certainly that should have been one vehicle of exploration decades ago. Proves there are a bunch of sinister people caring less about their citizens🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😭
This needs so much more attention
Why? Business as usual for the last 40 years. Start getting Americans sober with expanded social programs. No money for cartels = no problem.
