Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there’s no real justice in America’s system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day.
