In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben discusses the Trump administration’s intensified campaign against cartels, new fraud investigations targeting taxpayer-funded programs, and the Senate’s overwhelming bipartisan vote to advance the Protect College Sports Act. Cruz explains how the legislation would address NIL challenges, transfer portal rules, athlete eligibility, women’s sports protections, and enforcement standards designed to bring stability to college athletics.

The Trump administration is expanding its use of foreign terrorist organization designations to target Mexican cartels, while the U.S. Senate advances one of the most significant college sports reform bills in decades. The developments could have major implications for border security, criminal prosecutions, athlete compensation, and the future of collegiate athletics. A Southern District of Texas prosecutor argues that federal law enforcement was previously limited in its ability to aggressively pursue cartel members and that President Trump’s foreign terrorist organization designation is now providing new tools to prosecute cartel operatives. The episode examines a recent cartel-related case and what federal officials say it signals about future enforcement efforts. 

Topics Covered:
Foreign terrorist organization designations for Mexican cartels
The prosecution of alleged Gulf Cartel member Jose Flores Flores
DOJ efforts to expand cartel-related criminal enforcement
Senate passage of the Protect College Sports Act by a 74-24 vote
NIL reforms, transfer portal restrictions, and athlete eligibility rules
Federal fraud crackdowns involving daycare subsidies, pandemic loans, and healthcare programs
