Washington, D.C. — Today AmFACT President Adriana Jones, and sister to Maria “Rhonita” LeBaron and aunt to Howard Miller Jr., Krystal Miller, and Titus and Tiana Miller — all U.S. citizens and victims of the massacre carried out by the Juárez Cartel and their armed wing La Línea in 2019 — released a statement in response to Sinaloa Cartel co-founder and former Juárez Cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia pleading guilty to RICO charges and operating a continuing criminal enterprise:
“We are deeply grateful to President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and the entire Trump administration for their commitment to holding cartels accountable. The Sinaloa Cartel and Juárez Cartel both represent a clear and present danger, and their actions have caused immense loss, pain, and suffering. Thanks to the efforts of this administration, our nation is safer.
“As the Trump administration continues its strong enforcement against these criminal organizations, we respectfully urge them to designate two additional cartels—the Juárez Cartel and its armed wing La Línea—as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. By doing so, we can protect more Americans and further strengthen our fight against these dangerous groups.”
