AZ Grand Jury indicts 20 in firearms trafficking conspiracy to Mexico

[Attilatheblond]

If Trump-Antionette and his court of fools were really interested in stopping drugs and gang violence, they would be doing what Arizona investigators, courts are doing: Bust the people trafficking guns and ammo to Cartels.

The conspiracy operated between May 4, 2024, and Feb. 13, 2025, according to the indictment. Luis Castaneda, Victor Garcia and Aaron Villescaz-Chavira allegedly conspired with Michelle Iniguez, Hakeem Sharp, Sedone Rice, Marianne Rice, Selena Bustillos and others to unlawfully acquire firearms from federal firearms licensees for export to Mexico, the attorney general's office says.

The defendants allegedly provided funds to purchase firearms and compensated straw purchasers who forged Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives forms to conceal the true buyers, according to the indictment. The trafficking organization obtained approximately 334 firearms during the conspiracy, prosecutors say.

Law enforcement tracing through the ATF eTrace system revealed that many of these firearms have been recovered in Mexico, the attorney general's office says. The charges include misconduct involving weapons and other felony offenses under Arizona law.

We have border checkpoints a few miles north of the border on most, if not all northbound highways. Northbound vehicles have to go thru checkpoints. Sometimes you get a wave thru, sometimes a CBP sniffer dog gets to noise around your vehicle. Sometimes they pull you aside and tear the seats out of your vehicle and you get to put it all back together yourself. (by the way, these checkpoints can be put up anywhere in the special enforcement area, which is ALL the way around the continental US, including ALL coastal areas)

What is missing is standard inspection stations for SOUTHBOUND traffic. Makes it easy for gun traffickers to earn some gig income hauling guns into Mexico. As more traffickers are getting busted, maybe Sec Nome and her goons will stop harassing lawful citizens and immigrants and focus on the criminals making sure Cartels are well armed.

Nah, just wishful and practical thinking on my part.
