Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been in the headlines this week for her pivotal role in countering drug cartels and tightening intelligence operations. At a recent White House roundtable alongside President Trump and the Homeland Security Task Force, Gabbard laid out details of a major operation resulting in the arrest of high-profile cartel members like El Plato, a notorious leader responsible for wide-scale cocaine trafficking. She also revealed the disturbing capture of La Diabla, who operated an illegal enterprise involving the selling of newborn babies and organ harvesting. Gabbard described these crimes as savage and emphasized how cartel brutality is no longer just a foreign issue, but something terrorizing communities across the United States. She confirmed that the office of the Director of National Intelligence has established an intelligence fusion cell, which for the first time allows real-time coordination between foreign intelligence gathering and domestic law enforcement. According to Fox News, the fusion cell enables more effective and immediate sharing of information to support ongoing operations against cartels, helping bring criminals like La Diabla to justice.

Gabbard highlighted concerns about partnering with Mexican authorities, given the risk of cartel infiltration within the government. She assured listeners that her team has increased vetting and relationship-building with trusted individuals at various levels, recognizing the risks that these partners take standing up to the cartels. She attributed the success of joint operations to partnerships with committed, uncorrupted members of Mexican law enforcement who are equally affected by cartel violence. Gabbard stated on Fox News that U S agencies, working without pay during a government shutdown, were still able to secure high-profile arrests due to tireless efforts and improved intelligence sharing.

In another major development, Gabbard ordered a review of U S intelligence agency policies regarding polygraph testing and press leaks, echoing previous actions taken by the Bush and Obama administrations. This decision comes at a time when security surrounding sensitive intelligence has been under scrutiny, especially following the accidental inclusion of an editor in a group chat discussing classified military operations in Yemen.

Director Gabbard also declassified documents related to Russian influence on the 2016 election, which received public support from the CIA Director but drew sharp criticism from officials aligned with the previous administration. She directly accused Barack Obama and top intelligence officials of manipulating intelligence in order to undermine President Trump’s first term, sparking significant debate in Washington.

Listeners should be aware that Gabbard has also announced a dramatic 40 percent staff reduction within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, bringing the workforce from roughly two thousand to about thirteen hundred employees. These changes signal a broader move to streamline and refocus intelligence resources under her direction.
