Мексиканські наркокартелі пригрозили атаками на агентів прикордонної служби США за допомогою дронів.

This is reported by The New York Post, as conveyed by Ukrinform.

Upon receiving this information, the Operational Intelligence Center of the El Paso border sector along the U.S.-Mexico border issued orders to border patrols and military personnel to enhance vigilance and monitor the surrounding situation.

Federal agents and Department of Defense personnel working along the border have been instructed to always wear proper gear, including bulletproof vests, first aid kits, and tourniquets, and to keep rifles ready to intercept unidentified drones.

They are also required to promptly report any sightings of drones to their superiors and the El Paso Operational Center.

The recent escalation of security concerns at the border between the United States and Mexico is linked to the mass deportation campaign initiated by President Donald Trump’s administration aimed at removing illegal migrants from the U.S. and the decision to close the southern border.

Immediately after taking office, Trump ordered the deployment of several thousand American troops to secure the border with Mexico and promised to send even more.

American border guards note that the increase in their presence has effectively hindered the operations of Mexican cartels engaged in the illegal trafficking of drugs and undocumented migrants from Mexico to the U.S.

As reported by Ukrinform, the new U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Gage, stated that the priority of the Pentagon's future work will focus on the swift execution of presidential orders, emphasizing the necessity of enhancing the protection of the country’s southern border.
