Summary
Former President Donald Trump has publicly addressed the murder of Marine veteran Nicholas Douglas Quets, who was killed in Mexico, promising justice and action against the cartels believed to be responsible. During campaign rallies, Trump expressed deep concern for Quets’ family, vowing to take decisive measures against cartel violence if re-elected.
Nicholas Quets, a 31-year-old Marine veteran, was shot and killed in a suspected cartel attack while traveling in Mexico. His family has been vocal about the lack of support from the Biden-Harris administration following their son’s death, contrasting this with the immediate outreach they received from Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. At rallies, Trump emphasized his commitment to addressing the issues of cartel violence and drug smuggling, asserting that he would ensure those responsible for Quets’ murder are brought to justice. The Quets family has expressed confidence in Trump’s promises, highlighting their disappointment with the current administration’s silence on the matter.
Trump’s Commitment to Justice
At a rally in Henderson, Nevada, Trump was joined by Quets’ family, where he reaffirmed his promise to ensure justice for Nicholas. He stated, “We’re going to take care of it. We’re going to get that guy,” referring to the suspect involved in the murder. The family has called for the extradition of those responsible and emphasized the need for the U.S. government to take a more active role in addressing cartel violence.
Family’s Experience with the Biden-Harris Administration
The Quets family has highlighted their frustration with the Biden-Harris administration, noting they have not received any communication from officials since their son’s tragic death. They contrasted this with the prompt support and compassion shown by Trump and Vance, who met with them shortly after the incident. This lack of engagement from the current administration has led the family to publicly support Trump, emphasizing their belief that he will take the necessary actions to combat cartel violence and ensure justice for their son.
