During a press conference today, Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke directly to the Mexican drug cartels that are flooding America with narcotics.

Near the border in Nogales, Arizona, effectively declared war.

“With the president’s executive order on border security, transnational criminal organizations and public safety as our guide posts, we will execute a strategy that once again secures our border,” Sessions said.

He continued, “Apprehends and prosecuting those criminal aliens that threaten public safety and takes the fight to gangs like MS-13 and Los Zetas and makes dismantlement and destruction of cartels a high priority.

“We will deploy a multi-faceted approach,” he said, before turning his comments to the cartels personally.

“We are going to interdict your drugs on the way into this country, your money on the way out, and investigate and prosecute your trafficking networks to the fullest extent of the law,” Sessions said.

The AG said it’s what American laws require.

“I took an oath to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Sessions said.
