How Satanic Rituals Fuel the Deadly Mexican Drug Cartels
In a revealing interview with Tucker Carlson, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar,” Tom Homan, shed light on a chilling reality often overlooked in discussions about border security: the Satanic origins of the Mexican drug cartels.
These cartels, notorious for their brutality, don’t merely operate as criminal enterprises; they engage in rituals and practices that many experts identify as explicitly demonic. The spiritual danger posed by these organizations extends far beyond the physical violence and drug trafficking. Their practices—rooted in fear, bloodshed and the occult—represent a direct affront to God’s design for lawfulness and order.
As America battles to secure its borders, it is crucial to recognize that this fight is not just a physical one; it is a spiritual confrontation against forces that seek to sow destruction and chaos. To truly protect our nation, we must engage this fight on both fronts, addressing not only the immediate threat but also the deeper, darker powers at work.

“It’s so evil,” Homan recalls during the interview with Carlson. “I know that in El Salvador, when MS-13 ran the country before Bukele, there was a religious component, [a] kind of voodoo witchcraft component, to MS-13 where they were worshipping the devil.”
Homan’s description of the cartels’ embrace of devil-worship sheds light on the moral decay that enables such unimaginable atrocities. By aligning themselves with demonic forces, cartel members seem to sever their connection to basic human compassion, becoming instruments of violence and terror. Their participation in occult rituals and sacrifices feeds into a spiritual darkness that hardens their souls and justifies acts of unspeakable cruelty, from human trafficking to the merciless slaughter of innocents.
This spiritual depravity is a stark reminder of the battle being waged not just in the physical realm but in the spiritual one as well. God’s Word clearly condemns any form of devil-worship, stating in Deuteronomy 18:10-12a:
There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or who uses divination, or uses witchcraft, or an interpreter of omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts spells, or a spiritist, or an occultist, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord.
These verses clearly show that such practices are abhorrent to God, showcasing the spiritual depravity of those who engage in them and the importance of confronting this evil with both vigilance and prayer.
According to Homan, these are the very practices taking place within the cartels that are operating on the southern border of the United States.
“It’s a component of the cartels. You see it in Mexico as well, all through Latin America, is that you come across that,” he says. “They worship death. And, like, formally worship it. … They got, you know, statues, statute there and memorabilia worshipping death as a consequence of not allowing them to do their business.”
“It’s witchcraft,” says Carlson.
Revealing to Carson just some of the horrors he’s witnessed the cartels commit, Homan says when Trump has attempted to call the cartels out for what they are, such as “animals,” opposing members in the government such as former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, resorted to calling him a “Nazi” and ended up doing nothing about securing the southern border.
Those in positions of power who allow the cartels to operate with impunity within the United States bear complicity in the horrors these organizations perpetrate. By turning a blind eye to their activities or failing to enforce the laws necessary to dismantle their operations, they enable the cartels’ reign of terror. This negligence sacrifices the safety and well-being of American citizens on the altar of political convenience, corruption and indifference. In doing so, they permit the cartels’ demonic influence to spread unchecked, leaving countless lives shattered by drug addiction, human trafficking and violence. Such betrayal of public trust reveals a deep moral and spiritual failure at the highest levels of government.
As Christians, we are called to be both watchmen and warriors in the face of such pervasive evil. It is imperative that we boldly stand against the darkness creeping into our nation, exposing and opposing the atrocities of the cartels. Yet, our responsibility goes beyond mere words or policy; we must engage in spiritual warfare, confronting the demonic forces and principalities that empower these organizations. Through prayer, fasting and unwavering faith in the name of Jesus, we combat not only the physical manifestations of their evil but also the spiritual strongholds that perpetuate their reign of terror. Only by addressing both realms can we hope to drive back this darkness and reclaim the light for our nation.
