CBP Memo Reveals Cartel Members Are Deploying Weaponized Drones for Potential Use Against CBP Officers (VIDEO)

Cartels at the southern border are reportedly escalating violent threats against U.S. border and law enforcement officers, with social media posts encouraging violence and the authorization of weaponized drones for use against border officers.  

Copies of recent memos sent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers detail the threats on social media, NewsNation reports.

Additionally, officers are warned that the cartels are expected to use drones armed with explosives.

This news comes as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently said, “All options are on the table,” when he was asked if the U.S. will use military force against the cartels in Mexico.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump also sent a message to “all who would attack Americans” on Saturday, stating, “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!” after announcing precision air strikes against ISIS in Somalia.

“This action further degrades ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians and sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even as we conduct robust border-protection and many other operations under President Trump’s leadership,” Hegseth said following the execution of the airstrikes indicating strikes on the cartels could be considered.

This also comes after recent incidents of cartel violence on the Southern Border. As The Gateway Pundit reported, last Monday, Border Patrol agents exchanged gunfire with Mexican drug cartel members who tried to bring a group of illegals over the border in Fronton, Texas.

Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller recently indicated that President Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act to combat the cartels in line with the “national objective of eradicating their physical presence on US soil.” The Insurrection Act "is still being considered based on operational needs on the southern border," said Miller.

President Trump has already sent U.S. troops to the southern border, and military cargo planes are being used for the first time in history to deport planeloads of illegal aliens from Arizona and Texas.

News Nation correspondent Ali Bradley explained that CBP officers are encouraged to wear ballistic gear and carry long rifles.

WATCH:

Bradley: We also just got her hands on a memo out of the Rio Grande Valley sector that actually says that—this is kind of crazy here—that the cartels authorized the use of weaponized drones, explosives, against CBP personnel and US law enforcement down there at the southern border.

Now they're actually being encouraged, of course, to remain cognizant and vigilant, but they're also being encouraged to use their long arms, Blake. I have never seen this in a CBP memo before. They say, wear your ballistic gear… They are saying, watch out for these weaponized drones. We've seen a lot of in-fighting with two different factions of the cartel down in Tamaulipas; that is on the south side of the border in the Rio Grande Valley.

And they have like an all out war happening between these cartel factions, so they are warning now that they might be using these weaponized drones against US personnel on this side, so definitely cause for concern there.

This is a developing story.
