Vice President JD Vance delivered a powerful message to drug cartels and human traffickers at CPAC, declaring their “free ride is over” with President Trump back in office. Vance’s bold statements reflect the administration’s aggressive stance on border security and commitment to eradicating criminal organizations threatening American safety.
Trump Administration Takes Decisive Action
President Trump has signed an executive order designating several gangs and cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). This move significantly enhances the government’s ability to combat these criminal groups within the United States.
The order invokes the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEP) to declare a national emergency addressing these threats. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the designation, citing a “sufficient factual basis” under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Vance’s Strong Message at CPAC
During his CPAC address, Vice President Vance didn’t mince words when addressing criminal organizations operating at the southern border. He emphasized the administration’s commitment to eliminating these threats to national security.

Vance criticized the previous administration for allowing cartels to operate freely within the United States. He promised a significant crackdown under President Trump’s leadership, highlighting the stark contrast in border security approaches.
Collaborative Efforts and Results
The Trump administration has successfully pressured Mexico and Canada to address illegal migration. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s efforts have led to significant drug seizures, including fentanyl and methamphetamine.
“Our message to the drug traffickers is get the hell out of our country, Your free ride is over because President Trump is back in the Oval Office. You’re not welcome.”
Border czar Tom Homan reported a substantial decrease in illegal border crossings compared to the previous administration’s average. The CIA is reportedly using drones to locate fentanyl labs in Mexico, sharing crucial information with the Mexican government to combat drug production and trafficking.
