The father of a former American sailor killed by armed poster in Mexico is praising the recent repression of President Trump's organized crime. It also blames what he calls “failed border policies” under the Biden administration for enabling the violence that claimed the life of his son.
Nicholas Quets, a former 31-year-old marine infantry man who lives in Tucson, Arizona, was in the process of requesting becoming an agent of the border patrol of the United States when he was killed on October 18, while traveling along the Caborca-Altar road in northern Mexico. Nicholas found an poster obstacle of 11 strongly armed vehicles consisting of approximately 25 men.
His father, Warren Quets, told Fox News Digital that the Sinaloa poster identified him as an American due to his plaque and the language he spoke.
“They chased him as a dog and shot him, like the cowards they were,” he said.

Warren said that immigration policies under former President Biden were perceived as an “invitation” for those south of the border between the United States and Mexico. Those policies, combined with the exploitation of migrants by coyotes and cartel members, facilitated mass crosses in the last four years, Warren added.
“If they arrived at the American border, it would be a policy of capture and liberation,” he said.
Fox News Digital contacted Biden representatives to comment, but did not receive an answer immediately.
Warren also said that some NGOs and local agencies benefited from the border crisis, including churches and organizations that received donations and government funds linked to migrant processing.
In January, two shelters in Pima County, Arizona, where Nicholas had worked before his death, closed their doors, according to Arizona Daily Star.
The shelters and other organizations also closed in several other states, including Texas, California and New York.

Warren told Fox News Digital that the United States must maintain constant pressure on criminal organizations “without a soul” and support cultural change in Mexico, which describes the neighbor of the southern United States as a “failed state of de facto” where citizens lack faith in the government due to the infiltration of posters.
He stressed that, although there is a reason for hope under the new administration, it must be linked to continuous and concrete action.
“There is a message to address American citizens anywhere in the world is no longer acceptable and comes with consequences. President Trump, you know, is directly responsible for sending that message, and that message is working,” Warren said.
The head of the United States Border Patrol, Michael Banks, published on August 1 that southwest border holdings reached a minimum of monthly record in July, with only 4,399 apprehensions. For the third consecutive month, there has been zero releases.
This marks a new record of all time, exceeding the minimum previous record of 6,070 in June.
During the administration of Biden, the maximum record was December 2023, with 249,785 apprehensions, most of which resulted in liberations in the US. UU. The number of fallen at zero is seen as a great victory for Republicans and the Trump administration.

Warren also highlighted several other key victories, citing the death of his son as a strong motivator behind many actions taken against the posters by the current administration.
For example, a press release on June 9 of the Department of the Treasury said that Nicholas's death was a driving force behind the sanctions collected against children “El Chapo” and Los Chapitos, a fentanyl of the fentanyl of the Sinaloa cartel.
The tragedy has also influenced American politics in other cases. In July, the National Security Department mentioned Nicholas while announcing the Immigration and Customs Compliance arrest (ICE) of the Sinaloa Cartel Affiliate, Julio César Chavez Jr.
A Sunday report from the New York Times suggested that President Trump has secretly authorized the military force against Latin American drug cartels. These groups, including the Sinaloa cartel responsible for the death of Nicholas, were designated as foreign terrorist organizations in February.

“[Trump has] It has been great for my family. He remains in contact with us. His administration remained in contact with us. He has treated us as his family. And I think he would do that for anyone in this situation. I don't think it's particular to me. So, I am grateful for that. You know, Nick will not die in vain because Nick is now the reason for many of these changes, “Warren told Fox News Digital.
