American Military News by Timothy Frudd 2/4/2025

An internal memo recently sent to U.S. Border Patrol agents shows that Mexican cartels are ordering cartel members to attack Border Patrol agents with explosives and kamikaze drones following President Donald Trump’s increased efforts to secure the southern border between the United States and Mexico.

The New York Post reported that an internal memo obtained by the outlet cited various sources, including social media posts, and warned Border Patrol agents to “remain cognizant of their surroundings at all times.”

The internal memo, which was titled “Officer Safety Alert,” said, “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 official word to border agents and soldiers working along the border should be:
"If shot at, return fire using any and all available means to neutralize the source of the incoming. That is an order"

Hurt one agent? 

Last week we did a nice job on a Somali Cave.

A spacious Cartel Head Mansion would be an even easier target.

I can't say that I always agree with your methods of deterrence, @Fishrrman ...but I will jump on board with this one.

I am all for a one way porous border.... if shot at, the military should cross into Mexico and kill every last cartel member (and anyone that stands in their way)...
