Thank you to everyone at @TheJusticeDept and @FBI, as well as @USAmbMex and the team in Mexico, who made this arrest possible. North America is safer thanks to @POTUS’s relentless pursuit of justice.
At my direction, Department of Justice agents @FBI have apprehended yet another member of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List: Ryan Wedding, the onetime Olympian snowboarder-turned alleged violent cocaine kingpin. Wedding was flown to the United States where he will face justice.

I met @USBPChiefSWB and his team in Swanton Sector just days before these arrests. SWB is far and away the busiest USBP sector on the northern border for illicit cross border traffic, but the hardworking team there is getting the job done and keeping our communities safe.
