Drone Bomb Threats Escalate for U.S. Border Agents: Report.
Mexican cartels are now threatening U.S. Border Agents with weaponized drones armed with explosives as President Donald J. Trump aims to shut down their activities. Leaked documents reveal rising threats on social media, including calls for lethal actions against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, correlating with an uptick in dangerous rhetoric online.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) representative emphasized the agency’s dedication to safeguarding personnel, local communities, and migrants: “We remain vigilant and stand ready to ensure the security of our borders,” the spokesman stated.
In the wake of these threats, CBP has circulated memos to its agents, highlighting calls to violence against ICE officers. Content on platforms like TikTok depicts aggressive actions against ICE personnel, and a memo references authorized attacks using drones equipped with explosives.
President Trump has warned of possible military action against the cartels, saying, “They’re killing our people. They’re killing 250, 300,000 American people a year, not 100, like has been reported for 15 years. It’s probably 300,000.”
This week, Canada agreed to declare the cartels as terrorist entities as part of a new deal between Canada and the United States to boost security at the border and halt the supply of the deadly drug fentanyl.
The Trump administration threatened 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods but delayed the tariffs for a month following the agreement.
