(AmericanProsperity.com) – An alarming development has come up after President Donald Trump intensified efforts to secure the southern border and crack down on illegal immigration.
Specifically, Mexican drug cartels are escalating their war on America by authorizing weaponized drone attacks against U.S. Border Patrol agents.
The situation underscores the urgent need for stronger border security measures to protect American lives and sovereignty.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued urgent memos warning field officers about the potential threat of weaponized drones.
The El Paso Sector Intelligence and Operations Center received credible information that cartels are planning to use drones equipped with explosives to target American law enforcement personnel.
This escalation in cartel violence comes as President Trump’s border security initiatives are making significant headway.
Border Czar Tom Homan reports that the administration’s crackdown has reduced illegal border crossings by an astounding 93%.
The President’s decisive action includes declaring a national emergency at the southern border and deploying 1,500 active-duty troops to bolster security efforts.
Additionally, as part of a tariff agreement negotiated by the Trump administration, Mexico is deploying 10,000 National Guard troops to its side of the border.
“President Trump’s the game-changer. No one has had the success he’s had on securing the border. He clearly understands we can’t have strong national security if we don’t have border security,” Homan expressed.
The cartels’ desperate measures are a clear sign that Trump’s policies are working.
Sheriff Leon N. Wilmot, who has observed increased cartel violence and control over the Mexican side of the border, warns that these criminal organizations are well-armed and dangerous.
“They’ve got better weapons than the police officers over there,” Sheriff Wilmot stated. “And they go into communities, and then they take them over.”
The threat is not limited to drones. A recently leaked memo warns of a plan by an organized group in Matamoros, Mexico, to target U.S. law enforcement or military personnel.
In response to these threats, Border Patrol agents have been advised to wear ballistic armor and travel in groups.
Just two weeks ago, suspected cartel members fired on Border Patrol agents in Fronton, Texas, from across the Mexican border, highlighting the immediate danger faced by brave law enforcement officers.
U.S. Representative Keith Self (R-TX) emphasized that President Trump will respond strongly to these threats.
The Republican Party is focused on clamping down on cartels to curb the flow of drugs into the United States and protect American citizens.
As cartels become increasingly desperate and violent in the face of effective border enforcement, a strong, secure border is not just a matter of immigration policy, it is a matter of national security and the safety of American citizens.
