USAF Spy Plane Runs SIGINT Operation Near Cabo As US Preps For Potential Cartel Fight
Posted on 02/03/2025 8:03:53 PM PST by SeekAndFind
Mexican drug cartels are ordering their members to attack US Border Patrol agents with kamikaze drones and other explosives in a desperate bid to thwart the crackdown at the border, according to an internal memo obtained by The Post.
The alert, which cites social media posts and other sources, cautions federal agents “to remain cognizant of their surroundings at all times” in the face of the new threat.
“On February 1, 2025, the El Paso Sector Intelligence and Operations Center (EPT-IOC) received information advising that Mexican cartel leaders have authorized the deployment of drones equipped with explosives to be used against US Border Patrol agents and US military personal currently working along the border with Mexico,” the internal memo titled “Officer Safety Alert” said.
“It is recommended that all US Border Patrol agents and DoD personnel working along the border report any sighting of drones to their respective leadership staff and the EPT-IOC.”
Federal agents working the border are also advised to “carry proper equipment” at all times, including first aid kids, tourniquets and body armor. The memo also notes that rifles “should be readily available.”
News Nation, which first revealed the memo, also reported that posts on TikTok and other social media sites by the cartels have advised illegal migrants to “spit and urinate” in ICE agents’ food and defecate in their vehicles.
Other posts have encouraged assassins to target agents.
The new threat from narcotraffickers south of the border comes amid a major crackdown on illegal immigrants crossing into the US under President Trump.
Just days after taking office, Trump vowed to send 10,000 US troops to help secure the border, while his border czar Tom Homan has launched deportation raids across the country targeting migrant criminals.

FAFO.
This should be glorious
Mega-billions in profits to Cartels are on the line.
This is war.
Sounds like time to call in the military. Fight them on both sides of the border if Mexico can’t control them.
Hope we’ve been studying drone defensive tactics in the Ukraine - Russia conflict.
They are at the (b)leading edge.
I hope we are not still in the gee-whiz tech phase.
And America can win this war if we play our cards right.
Shows we should have been “going to school” on the hundreds of drones in NJ and elsewhere. Maybe our side was learning. More likely the US was running around in chaotic disarray, not knowing what to do. And working on excuses and denial stories.
Maybe some nerdy teens who have years of practice with drones can battle it out for us.
If reports are true, the US is “ten years behind the Chinese.”
We are in a two front war.
The Mexican cartels and the Trudeau Canadians.
Is it time yet for the b-52s to get warmed up in the bullpen?
My thoughts exactly. This would be the ultimate FAFO.
The spirit of BlackJack Pershing is cheering.
We are in a two front war.
The Mexican cartels and the Trudeau Canadians.
The coming carpet bombing of Mexico. And others south of them.

I guess roll the dice. We may need a DMZ pushed back 3 or 4 miles from the border. Or some kind of small harm missile directed at the operator.
We are not going to bomb Mexico or Canada. Please stop making FR look stupid.
If the cartel is targeting US law enforcement, it is tantamount to a declaration of war. It cannot end well. The cartel leaders ought to consider the technology the Israelis used to eliminate Hezbollah and Iranian personnel. The US has even more sophisticated devices.
