Mexican cartels hitting back over Trump’s demand for military on border

Mexican cartels are planning to use kamikaze drones and other explosives to fight back against President Trump’s demand for Mexican border agents patrolling the border between the U.S. and Mexico. The United States also has their own agents posted on the border. Agents have been directed to wear their ballistic armor and use their long firearms as needed, according to Fox News.

“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 personnel currently working along the border with Mexico,” a memo, obtained by the New York Post and picked up by Fox News states.
