Law enforcement officers in a rural county in Texas with a population of roughly 15,000 are working together to thwart unprecedented criminal activity they say is a direct result of “Biden administration open border policies.”
As cartel operatives make their way to and from Houston to the Texas-Mexico border, one main route they take is Highway 59 through Jackson County, Sheriff Kelly Janica told The Center Square.
“Biden administration policies have been an unmitigated disaster,” Janica said. He said he’s never seen anything in his entire career like the crime stemming from the border today.
“It’s out of control,” he said.
Janica, 67, came out of semi-retirement to fill an open sheriff’s seat in December and soon joined an Operation Lone Star task force that’s been working along the Highway 59 corridor to thwart cartel-related activity.
Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd started the task force under Operation Lone Star, Texas’ border security mission launched in March 2021 by Gov. Greg Abbott. Goliad County Commander John Davis leads it and has built it up to 20 agencies across multiple counties.
Janica was previously Jackson County sheriff from 1988 to 2005 and later served as an emergency management coordinator. County commissioners appointed him as sheriff to fill the remainder of a term vacated by the previous sheriff, which ends in January 2024.
One of Janica’s first calls as sheriff this time. he said, was finding a truck off Highway 59 that had roughly 70 to 80 people inside. “When we opened the back door, people fell out on the ground,” he said. “They were so dehydrated and couldn’t even run away. If we hadn’t opened the door, there would have been casualties.”For years, multiple law enforcement agencies have combated traffickers of people, weapons, drugs and money using stolen vehicles along highways 281, 77 and 59.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
