Federal law enforcement officials suspect Mexican criminal organizations are funding a scheme to pay thousands of dollars in cash bounties for the killings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, with payouts allegedly increasing based on an employee’s rank and actions.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced the alleged bounty system offers $2,000 for gathering intelligence or doxxing agents — including photos and family details — $5,000 to $10,000 for kidnapping or non-lethal assaults on standard immigration officers, and up to $50,000 for the assassination of high-ranking officials.
"Under President [Donald] Trump and [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], EVERY criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice," DHS wrote in an X post.
The announcement came after the Washington Examiner first reported the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) uncovered gangs in Chicago were offered up to $50,000 to assassinate high-ranking ICE officials.
Gang members in Chicago’s Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods have positioned armed "spotters" on rooftops to monitor law enforcement activity, according to the outlet's report.
"Communication is conducted via radio," DEA officials alleged.
On Oct. 6, federal agents in Chicago arrested a suspected Latin Kings leader accused of offering payments to capture or kill a senior immigration officer involved in Operation Midway Blitz, a sweeping crackdown on those who sought refuge under the city’s sanctuary policies.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois unsealed a criminal complaint charging 37-year-old Juan Espinoza Martinez with one count of murder for hire. DHS identified the intended target as Commander at Large of the U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino.

Post similar bounties for the traficantes.

Pretty clear gangs and cartels own the street of Chicago.
Sure they own the police and politicians as well.
There’s a century long tradition of the windy cities cops and politicians being bought.

Armed UAV’s to patrol and take out cartel operatives and criminal illegals.
That should help.
Bounty per pairs of ears
Boycott these cities in every was possible until this stops. As long as they vote for the politicians who are allowing this, I have no problem with spending my money somewhere else.
So, how exactly does one collect on a bounty? It seems rather a bother. First you have to do the deed, then get away and not get caught. Then you have to find the person offering the bounty, get in contact with them, prove that you did the deed, and get paid without just being disposed of. Perhaps there is a formal sign-up sheet somewhere?
Indict the fat nepo baby governor and mayor of Chicago for conspiracy with Mexican cartels.
“Indict the fat nepo baby governor...”
The Fred Flintstone lookin’ guy?
>> Sure [immigrant gangs] own the police and politicians as well.
Nah, can’t be, look how patriotic and law-abiding their words and deed are...
Have a friend who back in the early 2000s was a member in Latin Kings. He used to talk about the things they did. But he also said they knew their limits. And one of those was “not to mess with the feds cuz they will light you up.” I guess we will see if today’s gangs still have that wisdom or will do some dumb things that get them killed.
Hence the land assualt mentioned yesterday by trump
Yabba dabba don’t!
Well I know what my hope is for the situation.

This is why Dem politicians don’t want LEOs to wear masks - maybe some heads on pikes would cool their jets...
Low bounties. A friend of mine, who retired from Homeland Security, said he had a a $40,000 bounty put out on him and his partner. They were insulted because because the cartel had a standing $50,000 bounty on the drug dogs...
That is what he told me, years ago.
