* Threats have been made on social media
* Posts suggest ways to kill or harm federal agents
* Agents have been told to take precautions
Cartels have authorized the use of weaponized drone explosives against border agents and other U.S. law enforcement at the southern border as violent threats are escalating on social media, with some promising the use of deadly force against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is taking the threats seriously enough to circulate two memos among agents and officers within the agency. Copies of the memos were obtained by NewsNation.
One of the communications references three different social media posts that included threats.
One post encourages people to assassinate ICE police, while a TikTok video tells immigrants illegally in the U.S. to spit and urinate on ICE agents’ food and defecate in their vehicles. Another post calls for the murder of local ICE agents.
A second memo warns that cartels have authorized the use of drone explosives against CBP personnel and U.S. law enforcement officers.
Border czar Tom Homan told NewsNation this week that leaked information about targeted operations has forced authorities to pivot to keep officers and agents safe.
“We’ve got many target cities, but I’m not going to share them with you because we got to keep our officers safe,” Homan said.
“Matter of fact, Chicago, that operation was leaked, so we had to reschedule that one. But we need an element of surprise because of officer safety issues. We don’t want the bad guy to know we’re coming,” he added.
Agents are reminded to be cognizant of their surroundings and should be wearing their ballistic armor and utilizing their long firearms.
Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, told NewsNation that weaponized drones have become more common in warfare, so it’s not surprising cartels may be poised to use them at the U.S. border.
This will not end well…for them
Looks like things are going to get hot down there. Hopefully our boys are ready.
Sure hope none of the Border agents get grabbed by the cartels, it will not end well for them as they are real monsters.
Has Trump designated the cartels as terrorists yet? He should and tell mejico to control them or we will.
My sense is that Trump would send MAXIMUM force eradication of Cartels across borders, IF ANY American ICE (or military) are attacked by the Deep State/Cartels.
Has Trump designated the cartels as terrorists yet? He should and tell mejico to control them or we will. Screw the metal border wall, I want the big beautiful concrete wall Trump promised.
If they drop a grenade on a BP agent, they will have to face the Marines, A-10, AC-130J, HIMARS and company.
Oh - Mexican army, of course.

Yep. And beyond that, I expect the cartels to locate and threaten the families of the agents. Maybe even kill a few. Just like it’s done in Mexico now.
The Mafia is an evil organization. But at least they left the families alone. The cartels have no such restraint.
It will take overwhelming shock and awe to defeat these monsters. And that includes the military at the border. Artillery, armor, the whole deal.
Would have been nice to arm the BP with the gear Obama gave to the Taliban.
Escalation…always a good time.
Enforce a no-go zone five miles wide on their side of the border.
Trump needs to “authorize” the use of GBU-28s and GBU-72s on the Cartel homosexuals and child molesters. Just to be fair.
IMO..I suspect they might have been responsible for the fires in CA.
Remember that little bastard the citizens caught lighting fires there?
He was reported to have been an illegal and kept saying “i need to do this” while lighting fires.
Could be the cartels told him either you do that or your family goes.
The Chinese work with cartels... who else in involved? Is Homan ready for war with cartel monsters? Yep, I’d bet on it.

Saw somewhere on the web that former Columbian anti drug force soldiers are now freelancing as instructors for the cartels, specifically in drone use.
Fwiw, Columbia is feeding quite a few mercenaries to Ukraine as well.
