Rep. Moore Issues Statement on Extermination Camp in Mexico

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement in response to the Washington Post reporting that a Mexican drug cartel operated an extermination camp outside Guadalajara, Mexico:

“The news that the Jalisco New Generation cartel was running an extermination camp in Mexico is beyond horrific. These images and stories are barbaric, something we’d only previously associated with Nazi death camps like Auschwitz. It’s critical that Americans understand these atrocities are happening across our border.

“President Trump was right to designate the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and I encourage him to take every action necessary to eliminate this direct threat to our homeland and our very way of life. It's abundantly clear that we cannot sit idly by as these cartels continue to butcher people ruthlessly and kill our fellow Americans through the fentanyl poison they smuggle into our country."
