Rep. Chip Roy, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Texas’ 21st district, shared a series of tweets on February 3, 2025, highlighting concerns about cartel violence in Mexico and its potential impact on the United States. The tweets underscore his apprehension regarding the severity of actions undertaken by these criminal organizations.
In one tweet, Rep. Roy emphasized the brutal tactics employed by cartels in Mexico: "These cartels are not just mere drug-running gangs. They have engaged in ISIS-style beheadings across Mexico to strike fear in the hearts of those that oppose them." This statement was posted on February 3, 2025.
Another tweet from the same date discussed an incident involving Mexican law enforcement: "Cartel terror hasn’t just raged against Americans, but the people of Mexico too. Last September, 6 Mexican police officers were SHOT DEAD in an ambush by Jalisco Cartel members while training at a sports center. We don't want that to spread here."
Furthermore, Rep. Roy highlighted another violent act committed by cartels: "No one is off limits The cartels have dropped EXPLOSIVES on Mexican armed servicemembers using drones, KILLING several soldiers." This tweet also appeared on February 3, 2025.
