From the gritty streets of Phoenix, Arizona to the ever-perilous US-Mexico border, we journey through the treacherous landscape of Mexican cartels with our guest, Matthew Thomas, Chief Deputy from Pinal County. Matthew's distinct upbringing, enveloped by Mexican gangs and the rough and tumble of section 8 housing, has endowed him with a unique perspective on the escalating crisis. Together, we navigate the complexities of this underworld, exploring the potential benefits of categorizing these cartels as narco terrorists - a classification that could equip law enforcement with the authority to seize the assets of associates and break the backbone of these dangerous factions.

As we scrutinize the situation at the US-Mexico border, Matthew sheds light on the shocking tactics cartels employ to manipulate Native American nations and maintain dominance over illegal immigration routes. With human and drug trafficking at the helm of their operations, these cartels are leaving an indelible mark on society. The urgency of this crisis is underscored by the alarming number of unaccompanied minors recorded last year, a figure that sends shivers down our spines.

Innovation is key when battling these audacious cartels. We delve into avant-garde policing methods that are shaping law enforcement strategies.  Grappling with the nuances of human trafficking, the fight against Mexican cartels is a dynamic, intense game of cat and mouse. Listen in as we dissect this complex struggle against some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. Trust us, this is a conversation that will leave you on the edge of your seat!
