While American progressives debate “compassion” for illegals, real terror reigns just across the border. Ben Bergquam, reporting for Law & Border on Real America’s Voice, took viewers inside cartel-controlled Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. What he found was chilling: glorified narco cemeteries, cartel lookouts on every street, and kidnappings happening in broad daylight.
WATCH BERQUAM:
This isn’t theoretical. It’s a warning.
Bergquam was joined by local journalist Oscar Ramirez and cameraman Aaron Tuit. Their tour of Culiacán quickly turned dangerous.
They began near a cemetery known as Jardines del Humaya—nicknamed the “narco cemetery.” There, cartel bosses are honored like royalty. Giant mausoleums, some the size of homes, are built to commemorate the lives of drug lords. Marble, glass, air conditioning—these are not resting places for the humble, but tributes to violent power.
“This is a place too dangerous to get out and film,” Bergquam says. “These aren’t graves. They’re monuments to terrorists.”
Driving deeper into the neighborhood, their guide points out how normal life is soaked in fear. “Domestic violence, gunshots—this is daily life here,” he explains. “People don’t even call the police. Most times, the police are the cartel.”
Lookouts, known as punteros, were everywhere. Men on motorcycles. Hanging by food stands. Watching. Listening. Carrying radios. Working for cartel bosses, many of them posing as local vendors or even cops.
“You don’t pull out a camera here,” Bergquam warns. “That could get you killed.”
As they drove through Las Coloradas—a neighborhood infamous for violence—the tension escalated. They noticed vehicles tailing them. Locals started acting nervous. The deeper they went, the clearer it became: they were being watched.
Then came the bombshell.
After returning to the hotel, the team learned that a kidnapping had just occurred on the street they had been filming. Minutes before they arrived. A person was dragged out of their vehicle and taken. No resistance. No rescue. Just gone.
Bergquam says it all adds up. The punteros they saw earlier were likely scouts for the abduction. “You think it’s just street food and a normal block,” he said. “But underneath that—it’s hell.”
What struck the team most was the silence. Everyone knows who’s in charge. And it’s not the government. Even the police seem fearful, possibly complicit. “The look they gave us—nervous, even panicked. That says it all,” Bergquam noted.
His message to America? This is what’s coming. If the cartels aren’t stopped at the border, if sanctuary policies continue to shield their networks, then this insecurity becomes our future.
“This is what real lawlessness looks like,” Bergquam concludes. “While liberals protect feelings, cartels build empires.”
He urges the Supreme Court to allow Trump to fulfill his constitutional duty. “Deport them all,” he wrote. “Let the Commander in Chief do his job.”
Bergquam’s report is raw, gritty, and real. It’s a wake-up call from a place where evil wears no mask—and where America may be headed if action isn’t taken now.
