Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

This proposal is to allow private citizens, with appropriate training, to be given permission to use their resources to help with the cartel crackdown. I heard one state is hiring bounty hunters to go after hard core, illegal criminals.

Cartel Chaos: Letters of Marque Could Be Trump's Next Big Move

The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 empowers Congress to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.” These commissions historically allowed private citizens to engage in acts that would otherwise be deemed piracy, such as capturing enemy vessels during wartime. This mechanism provided an agile, cost-effective response to seaborne threats while adhering to the rule of law. Though it has not been used since the 19th century, the power remains a viable constitutional tool—one that could be repurposed to address modern-day non-state actors, like Mexican drug cartels.

In this case, issuing letters of marque would authorize private security firms or highly trained individuals to disrupt cartel operations. Such commissions could target supply lines, intercept narcotics shipments, or seize cartel assets—a modern adaptation of capturing enemy ships. Unlike military intervention, this approach would not require a formal declaration of war, aligning with President Trump's emphasis on avoiding prolonged foreign conflicts while prioritizing national security and sovereignty for both the U.S. and Mexico in addressing this urgent threat.

One of the strongest arguments for employing letters of marque is the flexibility they provide. Unlike government agencies, private entities can act swiftly and adaptively, unhindered by bureaucratic red tape. Cartels are masters of evasion, exploiting the delays and rigidity of conventional law enforcement. Privateers, by contrast, can employ unconventional tactics to stay a step ahead, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as drones, cybersecurity tools, and advanced tracking systems. Under President Trump's administration, investments in border security technologies and partnerships with private sector innovators demonstrated a commitment to integrating advanced methods to combat cartel activities, paving the way for these tools to be further utilized by privateers.

Historical precedent lends credence to the efficacy of this approach. During the War of 1812, privateers inflicted substantial damage on the British navy and merchant fleet, demonstrating the potential of incentivized, private-led action. Today’s cartels, operating as decentralized criminal empires, are similarly vulnerable to disruption by agile, well-equipped adversaries

Are they out of their minds??
You know how that sounds like? Private citizens?... like those that are fighting "the demonized Russians" who dared to invade Ukraine?
Bounty Hunters?... Riight, as if things are not corrupt enough.

From where do you think cartels and Mexican organized crime get their weapons? And, also see Niall post.

What has this to do with Russians? I don't see a connection at all. In some areas of the country there may be a lack of trained personnel to go after these criminals, then why not bounty hunters, why do you think thats corrupt? I say do it. Of course the cartels have been armed and working with the deep state, its a serious problem. That's suppose to be ending now which I'm sure there will be arguments that's not the case. I can see where certain private security groups, who are usually ex-military, would do a good job of tracking down these people. We need all the help we can get and they're more flexible as the article states and well trained. Sounds good to me. They have already been working on the boarder helping the trafficked kids. We have serious problems here, peoples lives are at stake and the country is being attacked.

Bear in mind that criminals and organised crime are ubiquitous. Sadly.

Oh! And I heard recently on another board I frequent that (free) firearms training is available to all US citizens. I'm not sure how that works or who runs it. I'll try to find out.

Well, a corrupt policeman in Spain had twenty (20) million euros hidden in the walls of his house as a result of his relationship with drugs, so legal piracy on that matter would be enormously lucrative.

That's for sure.
 
This sound a bit like a tempest in a tea cup to me, but you never know who may use it for what purposes.

Chaos On Border: Mexican Cartels Fire At US Border Patrol Agents​

by Tyler Durden
Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025

"Chaos erupted along the US-Mexico border on Monday when cartel members opened fire on US Border Patrol agents. This incident came just one week after President Trump ramped up border security efforts, deployed the military, and formally designated cartels as foreign terrorist organizations."

"One user on X, asked: "Where are our Marine snipers at?"

"DPS Drone Operators captured the gunmen fleeing Mexico due to military presence, & seeking refuge on an island between the US & Mexico."
