11:26Now PlayingPresident Trump previously said the United States is “knocking the hell out of” the cartels and vowing to “go heavier” after declaring to carry out land strikes on drug cartels, in addition to a slew of boat strikes on alleged narco-terrorist vessels in the Caribbean. In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," Ali sat down with DEA Administrator Terry Cole to talk about how the administration is working to crack down on the cartels and stop the flow of drugs into the U.S.
The administrator is in Texas to tour the border area and meet with federal partners, and he details to Ali how they're working to fully staff the border. Cole reveals to Ali the DEA has agents embedded within the Department of War: "We have more embeds with the Department of War right now. Share intelligence. That is the mandate that the president has given us, and we will execute orders. That's what people need to understand."
