A remarkable achievement by the Trump administration has emerged as a powerful contrast to the ongoing struggles faced under previous leadership: over 4,000 firearms intended for Mexican drug cartels have been intercepted in just one year.
Since President Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has successfully seized 4,359 guns and nearly 650,000 rounds of ammunition headed to Mexico.
This demonstrates a decisive and proactive stance against the threats posed by transnational crime organizations, which have plagued both American and Mexican communities for far too long.
ATF Deputy Director Robert Cekada, appointed by Trump, emphasized the importance of tackling this national issue, stating, “Illegal crime guns increasingly originate from every state in the country. This is not a southwest border problem; it is a national threat.”
Under this administration, the ATF reported a staggering total of 36,277 illegal gun seizures and 2.3 million rounds of ammunition confiscated from criminals and gangs. Such figures not only highlight the administration's commitment to law and order but also showcase effective leadership in the battle against violent crime.
In stark contrast, data from the Biden administration reveals lower numbers of gun and ammunition seizures in previous years. Reports from the Biden Justice Department indicated that just over 2,600 firearms and 115,000 rounds of ammunition were stopped from entering Mexico in 2023, a number that falls significantly short of Trump's achievements.
As the Trump administration continues to address the critical issue of gun violence and gun trafficking, Americans can take pride in the decisive actions being taken to protect communities from criminal organizations that threaten public safety.
In a time when crime rates are rising and drug cartels remain a persistent threat, the results from the ATF under Trump's leadership stand as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the importance of strong, action-oriented governance. This not only reinforces the necessity of preserving the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens but also underscores the administration's commitment to ensuring the sanctity of American neighborhoods.
