Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard<\/strong> praised President Donald Trump on Saturday for his role in the capture of high-profile Mexican cartel leader Leonardo Daniel \u201cEl Pato\u201d Martinez Vera<\/strong>, highlighting the administration\u2019s commitment to combating organized crime. Appearing on Fox & Friends Weekend<\/em>, Gabbard confirmed the October 15 arrest of the Sinaloa Cartel plaza boss<\/strong>, accused of orchestrating crimes including kidnapping and murder. The operation was made possible through intelligence gathered by the ODNI\u2019s National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)<\/strong>. Gabbard emphasized that the arrest sent a clear message to cartel leaders exploiting the southern border, demonstrating Trump\u2019s seriousness in confronting criminal networks.<\/p>\n

Gabbard noted that the operation succeeded despite ongoing challenges from the government shutdown, which left federal employees working without pay. \u201cOur team at NCTC is on the watch, preparing for the moment to strike,\u201d she said, stressing that the arrest serves as both enforcement and deterrent. The State Department<\/strong> designated the Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in February 2025, alongside other major Latin American criminal networks, including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Gabbard\u2019s comments coincided with broader discussion about border security, noting that illegal crossings have declined sharply under Trump\u2019s second term compared to record highs during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

The issue has drawn bipartisan attention, with critics and supporters of Trump alike acknowledging improvements at the border. Even Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker<\/strong> and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/strong> praised Trump\u2019s efforts, with Sanders stating on The Tim Dillon Show<\/em> that Trump \u201cdid a better job\u201d securing the border than Biden. Sanders emphasized the importance of national borders and criticized previous administrations for lax enforcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 2.47 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2023<\/strong>, compared with roughly 458,000 in Trump\u2019s final year in office, illustrating the dramatic shifts in border activity between administrations. The arrest of El Pato reinforces Trump\u2019s focus on organized crime and signals continued vigilance along the southern border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
