Federal officials say Mexican drug cartels have targeted the six Native American reservations in Montana because they can make bigger profits farther away from the Southern border, and because there is less law enforcement. NBC’s Cynthia McFadden reports on the challenge and speaks with the former head of the DEA in Montana.

Good, except the title is inaccurate and misleading in terms of the advancements made in the past twenty years in Anthropology. Nobody is "native" on the American continent. They are American Indians. The Indians were not here first, and came thousands of years LATER across the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia. There is overwhelming evidence today, both from DNA studies and from the carbon dating of the fossil/artifact record of the trail through the ice in Canada. None of the oldest skeletons in the Americas are Indians. NONE of them.
They should sue mexico.
Wow, if only something could be done.
I mean china produces most of the fentynal right? They're probably funneling it through Mexico to create more tension in America before the election cycle. That's what this looks like to me…
I WONDER IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME A JOB AS A POLICE OFFICER ON THE RESERVATION!?!?!?!?
Indian reservations are "sovereign nations". The U.S. federal government has no authority on Indian reservations.
Sorry, not likely that addicts on the Res can pay $100 for a pill.
❤❤❤there goes more of our HISTORY 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How can I help. I have so many ideas and ways I know that can help. I’m an ex addict who is Clean a few years now. I know what doesn’t work and what does. I also have insight on how to make existing programs more effective. Also I’m able to speak in a clear and concise manner to be able to communicate the goals clearly.
Disgusting
How would anyone in thier right mind ever trust the drug cartel
Natives against natives nothing new here
Thank you for reporting on this.
Serious question: If our government can't even protect our most vulnerable citizens from Mexican drug cartels, what good is it? Why do we even tolerate it?
The problem is the Cartels have too much of the fetanyl they purchased from China. Its so bloody cheap. Now they have to get rid of it because inventory is so high. Sadly its all supply and demand. People really need to stop taking pills and start testing their cocaine. Just about every street drug is now laced with fetanyl.
This is what happens with a open boarder since 2021. Pres Jackson who did the Trail of Tears was a dem too.
Our American Indians deserve better 🪽🇺🇸🪽
bidens Open border is the cause
Vice President Mrs.Harris, American people are under attack from unknown forces ? YOU, ma'am if only you would take the helm, declaring incompetence.
An action that was offered to a former president, he declined to accept, for not following a general's advice as was offered, he now faces {91} felonies. Incredible !
They don't charge brothers😂 with that many RICO violations. Just one lone conviction says " he's out."
I hope the US can do something for its own people soon.
Waiting for ABC to call this stunning and brave.
In All California close the borders …
Close the borders ..
Backed by the us governmet
We have got to do something
So now they remember the Tribes??
Pure manipulation, the US intelligence organizations once again diffusing and rewriting history the classic way of the last 200 years. See how long it takes to use by the anglos those that they absolutely destroyed (physically, mentally and culturally). Objective to use the native Americans (remember the Native American with the teardrop when they wanted to keep America clean…) to connect to the border politics, and green agendas… Once again the native Americans used by the wasp elite. First they genocide them, then put the survivors in concentration camps, and finally give them the "gift" of casinos (an awesome, sustainable, quality…way of wealth). I hope the Nation Tribes see through this manipulation. the anglo elites do not know the word morals.
IS BIDEN BEHIND THIS? I BELIEVE HE IS GETTING A CUT FROM THESE CARTELS JUST LIKE THE MEXICAN POLICE! BIDENS MOTTO IS WHY FIGHT THEM WHEN YOU CAN JOIN THEM AND GET RICH!
LOL! HEY BIDEN! THERE
GOES YOUR NATIVE AMERICAN VOTE!
Hand outs money makers
I support the Sinaloa Cartel. They despise fentanyl. Respect the Sinaloa Cartel
Lord God help these people turn away from this evil. Lord open their hearts to salvation from the evil influence and that which kills both body and soul
Amen
Puro Sinaloa compa
That's the u s government doing that
And the colonizers or illegal invaders , from England in the 16th century , brought alcohol to the natives, and caused misery and addiction as well.
And yet instead of doing something about this the Biden admin wants to gouge Americans of $90bn funding for other countries
It sounds like they’re worse than brown and black communities
Under Trump the racists would be screaming "RACIST!"
Under the Biden admin. crickets…….
Government is always several steps behind criminals. Both white collar and blue collar ones.
Oh, They eant more federal police, of course
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Native Hawaiians under attack by Gov too.
Gov wants to eliminate or relocate native bloods for land like usual
