Following the extradition of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to the United States, authorities have announced their intention to pursue the maximum penalty under law for the notorious drug lord. The US Marshals Service has placed El Chapo under extreme custody measures, reflecting the gravity of the charges he faces and concerns about his potential to orchestrate criminal activities even from behind bars.

The decision to seek the maximum penalty comes amidst mounting pressure to hold El Chapo accountable for his alleged role in drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime. With the eyes of the world watching closely, US prosecutors are poised to pursue a vigorous legal battle aimed at securing convictions that could result in a lengthy prison sentence, if not life imprisonment.

In a related development, Senator van Horn, the Republican whip from Kentucky has introduced a bill aimed at redirecting the proceeds of El Chapo's illicit drug trafficking enterprise towards bolstering border security measures between the United States and Mexico - including a border wall. The proposed legislation, titled the EL CHAPO Act, seeks to ensure that the profits accrued by El Chapo from his criminal activities are forfeited to the US government and earmarked specifically for border security initiatives. It is not yet clear where Democrats stand on the measure, with its only co-sponsors being Republicans. 

As the legal proceedings against El Chapo unfold and legislative efforts to enhance border security gain momentum, the extradition of the notorious drug lord to the United States has set the stage for a multifaceted approach aimed at tackling the complex challenges posed by transnational crime and border security.

El Chapo Extradited to United States, Faces Justice for Drug Trafficking Charges

In a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding one of the world's most notorious drug lords, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán has been extradited to the United States to face charges related to drug trafficking. The extradition marks a crucial step in the pursuit of justice for the crimes attributed to the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

After years of legal battles and diplomatic negotiations between Mexican and U.S. authorities, El Chapo was handed over to American authorities earlier today. His transfer from Mexico to the United States comes amidst heightened security measures, reflecting the high-profile nature of the case and the concerns surrounding his history of notorious escapes.

El Chapo's extradition to the United States is a culmination of efforts by U.S. prosecutors to hold him accountable for his alleged role in drug trafficking activities that spanned decades. He faces multiple charges, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and involvement in organized crime.

The extradition of Joaquín Guzmán, who once held immense power and influence in the world of international drug trafficking, underscores the collaborative efforts between Mexican and U.S. authorities in combating transnational crime. It also represents a significant victory for law enforcement agencies in both countries, who have long pursued El Chapo as a symbol of the illicit drug trade.

The notorious drug lord's journey through the criminal justice system has been marked by dramatic escapes, high-profile arrests, and sensational trials. El Chapo gained international notoriety for his audacious prison breaks, including his escape from a maximum-security prison in Mexico through a tunnel in 2015, as well as his subsequent recapture and extradition to the United States in 2017.

His extradition to the United States for trial is expected to lead to a landmark legal proceeding, with prosecutors seeking to secure convictions that could result in a lengthy prison sentence, if not life imprisonment. The trial is anticipated to shed further light on the inner workings of the Sinaloa Cartel and its extensive network of operations, as well as El Chapo's role in orchestrating drug trafficking activities that spanned multiple continents.

The extradition of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to the United States represents a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the victims of drug trafficking and organized crime.

Mr. President,

 

Should a quorum be found, I move to recommit this back to the Standing Committee on the Judiciary.

 

I yield.

I second the motion

The nomination of Paul Watford is a stark reminder of why we need to say in this fight, and for the battles that lie ahead. His record speaks volumes. He advocates for sanctuary cities, undermining the rule of law and jeopardizing the safety and security of American families. He has even gone so far as to defend a cop killer against the death penalty out in Kentucky, aligning himself with extreme positions that fly in the face of justice. This is not a man we want replacing Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court!

But our fight is not merely against one individual; it is a fight for the soul of our nation. It is a fight for the right to life, for the protection of the unborn who cannot speak for themselves. It is a fight for our second amendment rights, which are enshrined in the Constitution and must be fiercely defended against any encroachment. And it is a fight for religious liberty, the bedrock of our society, which must never be eroded by the forces of secularism and intolerance.

We cannot afford to sit idly by while our values are under attack.

We must stand up and speak out, rallying our fellow Americans, our neighbors, people who care about their values, and say enough is enough. We must hold our elected officials accountable, demanding that they uphold the principles on which this nation was founded. And we must never lose sight of the fact that the future of our country hangs in the balance.

President de La Cruz claimed she was a moderate and spoke for the average American. We're not seeing the puppet strings be slowly revealed in real time. This is should worry everyone in this room, because it's clear now more than ever: de la Cruz is not who she claimed to be. 

Despite the challenges we face, I am confident that we will prevail. We are a resilient and resourceful people, guided by the enduring principles of freedom, justice, and opportunity for all. And with your support and dedication, we will overcome any obstacle that stands in our way.
 

Conservatives united in the cause to defend our scared values are the strongest force on this earth, second only to the might of our military. We have the influence. We have the power... so let us stand together, united, and say no to Watford and extremist left wing judges. 

Let us go forth from this gathering with renewed determination and unwavering resolve. Let us redouble our efforts to defend the values that define us as Americans. And let us never forget that, in the end, it is our faith, our courage, and our unity that will carry us through to victory.

Thank you, and God bless America.

We used to operate like this. I think the move to discord was done out of expediency. Although... there is no reason why you couldn't post this into the discord twitter section.

Mr President

Over the past several months, we have witnessed a concerning trend – the rejection of meaningful criminal justice reform proposals by our colleagues across the aisle. We have put forth comprehensive proposals aimed at addressing the root causes of these issues. We have advocated for measures such as sentencing reform and rehabilitation programs along with opioid abuse programs. There is no basis to reject the legislation before us.

I implore my colleagues to see reason and support the measure.

I yield.

LOA until the 15th. If I am in the right mindset to come back before then, I will.

There will be no standalone HBCU legislation

WASHINGTON DC - Senate Majority Leader Fealty spoke to members of the press on the recent POLITICO article regarding the status of HBCU funding legislation.

"There will be no standalone HBCU legislation that the Senate will consider. The historic funding package for the colleges and universities was tied to legislation that would allow to America prosper, as the name of the legislation suggested. We are not going to begin dissecting bits and pieces of that financial package and pass parts of it while letting other parts fall by the wayside. That is not how we get our country back on track. 

Senate Democrats made a political decision not to support that package and we are not about to let them have their cake and eat it, so to speak. With the resulting negotiations that have came off the back of their decision not to support PROSPER, the inclusion of the funding for HBCUs may become part of those discussion but we will not know until they are proper underway."

Mr President

I ask this bill be removed from consideration

 I yield
