A woman whose sister, niece and nephew were shot and burned alive by Juarez Cartel is now speaking out in support of President Donald Trump’s crackdown Cartel violencesaid she was “for the first time in a long time,” he said.

Adriana Jones, president of the U.S. family who opposes cartel terrorism, spoke with Fox News to digitally digitize, sharing her sister Maria “Rhonita” Lebaron, niece and nieces and nephews, Hoey, Howie, 12, Howie, 10, Krystal, 10, and 10 and 8-month twins Titus and Tiana and Tiana, riding by Mexicans on November 7, 2019.

“The gunmen opened fire on their car, killed everyone, and then ignited it on the fire when they were shot. So they were burned and likely still alive,” she explained. “There are two other cars driving along the same route, family, two other mothers murdered with two other children, and seven surviving children, all shot and all American citizens, along the border.”

Since then, Jones said her family has been “fighting for justice as much as we can.”

Through her advocacy, she said she found her family’s tragedy “not one-off” and “you’ll see this happening every day along the border, whether it’s cartel violence, human trafficking or deadly fentanyl trafficking.

“No American family has to suffer as much as my family has suffered,” she said. “I hold their bodies. I watch what the cartel did to them. I know how evil they are.”

“American families die every day due to cartel violence,” she added. “The United States does need to know what’s going on.”

Until recently, however, Jones said it felt like fighting a “brick wall.”

“The action is almost zero,” she said. “No matter how much we push, no matter how much we travel, no matter how many doors we bumped, you’ve seen a lot of action on this issue in the last few months. People are finally awake, really understanding.”

Jones thanks Attorney General Trump Pam Bondi and “the entire Trump administration” to take charge of the cartel.

“I didn’t expect to actually be as excited as I used to and would be affected when I watched it live. And I’ll be honest with you, for the first time in a long time I felt very hopeful.”

“I really hope to listen to that press conference and just see what this administration has done.” “I really believe the cartel can and should be eradicated.”

“It was a very, very exciting day for me,” Jones said.

Although Trump administration “I think the current government is the first time we have seen any real movement on this issue,” Jones said.

“Learn how big it is, how much American life is affected every day, it’s been a long time since I really hope we can make a difference, and we can actually get those numbers to start trending down and save American families.”

Still, Jones said there is a lot to do to end cartel violence against American families. She noted that although the Trump administration has designated eight cartels and criminal groups as “Foreign terrorist organizations,” The cartel that killed her family, Juarez Cartel and its subgroup known as “La Linea”, has not been labeled as a terrorist group.

“They shot my 12-year-old nephew’s pointed tip and they burned the eight-month-old twins. These are terrorists and they certainly need to be on this list,” she said. “I will continue to knock until I get these answers.”

Jones urged other American families who were once victims of cartel violence to join her efforts.

“Every victim has his own story. Every family has his own heartache. So with that heartache, actually makes a difference what you can do,” she explained. “The world needs to hear your story. America needs your story.”
