Oklahoma ended judicial deference to state agencies last November. Three months later, its own securities regulator opened an investigation into a Mayes County herdshare rancher — no complaint, no victim, no filed order, $20,000 a month.
Mexico's federal government is pouring hundreds of millions of pesos into a Sonora meatpacking corridor — one built precisely as Washington shut the border over screwworm — while the company best positioned to capture it is run by a man who has never explained his photograph with El Mayo Zambada.
New World screwworm reached US soil June 3, 2026 — not through natural dispersal, but through 800,000 smuggled cattle per year moving through cartel-controlled biosphere reserves without inspection, documentation, or interdiction. USDA's answer: $100 million for satellite surveillance and a drone Grand Challenge. The pipeline keeps running.
Washington Department of Ecology's own wetland specialist privately questioned the legal foundation of the case against Deschutes Valley Farm — then the agency issued a $204,000 penalty anyway. Three separate government agencies found nothing actionable on the same property.
