“Going To Destroy Them” – Tom Homan Declares War on Cartels After Border Agents Fired Upon
By Joshua C.
Yesterday we covered the breaking news that suspected cartel gunmen had opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol Agents from across the Rio Grande in Texas.
The American Agents returned fire. No one was reported hit.
And both governments sent in reinforcements to secure the area on both sides of the river.
Now, President Trump’s Border Czar is ratcheting up the rhetoric and promising total destruction for the cartels.
While I don’t think President Trump or Homan were kidding around before, it certainly seems as though the language has shifted since the exchange of gunfire yesterday.
Check out this clip of Homan discussing the intent going forward on Fox News with Sean Hannity:
BREAKING: 🚨 WAR DECLARED ON CARTELS: “WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH” 🚨

That sounds like a full-scale war to me.
Here are a few key statements from that clip:
“It’s going to get worse Sean, because President Trump is going to seal that border. He’s going to put the cartels out of business.”
“He declared them a terrorist organization.”
“We got the whole of government is going to dismantle these people and wipe them off the face of the earth. They are not going to go lightly.”
“We are taking them on in the trafficking business, we’re taking them on in the smuggling business and we’re taking them on in the dope business.”
“There’s going to be more violence on the southwest border, that’s why trump committed to calling them a terrorist organization. He has.”
“That’s why the entire United States government is going to take care of those people and abolish them.”
