Quick Hit:

Mexican drug cartels are escalating their tactics, ordering attacks on U.S. Border Patrol agents using kamikaze drones and explosives, according to an internal memo obtained by the New York Post. The memo warns agents to remain vigilant as cartels react aggressively to President Trump’s intensified border security measures.

Key Details:

The memo, titled “Officer Safety Alert,” warns that cartel leaders have authorized the use of explosive-laden drones against U.S. Border Patrol and military personnel along the Mexico border.
Agents are advised to report drone sightings immediately and to carry essential safety gear, including first aid kits, tourniquets, body armor, and to have rifles readily accessible.
Cartel-linked social media posts reportedly encourage extreme actions against federal agents, including spitting in food, defacing vehicles, and even assassination attempts.

Diving Deeper:

According to an internal memo obtained by the New York Post, Mexican drug cartels have issued orders for their operatives to launch suicide drone attacks against U.S. Border Patrol agents and military personnel stationed along the southern border. The document, titled “Officer Safety Alert,” was circulated within the El Paso Sector Intelligence and Operations Center (EPT-IOC) on February 1st, 2025.

The memo states that cartel leaders have greenlit the deployment of drones rigged with explosives to target federal agents. “It is recommended that all U.S. Border Patrol agents and DoD personnel working along the border report any sighting of drones to their respective leadership staff and the EPT-IOC,” the document advises. Federal agents are urged to maintain heightened awareness, carry proper equipment—including first aid kits, tourniquets, and body armor—and ensure that rifles are “readily available.”

This heightened threat coincides with President Trump’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration. Shortly after taking office, Trump committed to deploying 10,000 U.S. troops to bolster border security. His border czar, Tom Homan, has also spearheaded widespread deportation raids targeting criminal migrants nationwide.

The cartels, facing substantial threats to their drug and human trafficking operations due to increased U.S. enforcement, have resorted to more violent measures. In addition to physical attacks, posts on platforms like TikTok reportedly instruct illegal migrants to “spit and urinate” in ICE agents’ food and defecate in their vehicles. Other posts have gone as far as encouraging assassinations of federal agents.

“The Invasion of our Country is OVER”: Trump reports lowest illegal crossings in history

Published on March 2, 2025

Quick Hit:

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that illegal immigrant apprehensions at the southern border plummeted to just 8,326 in February—marking a historic low. In a Truth Social post, Trump declared, “The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” crediting his administration’s tough enforcement measures for the drastic reduction.

Key Details:

The figure represents a staggering 96% drop from December 2023, when illegal crossings under Joe Biden’s administration peaked at 301,981.
Trump emphasized that those caught illegally entering the U.S. were “quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary, prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America.”
Trump credited executive action, including an emergency border declaration, military deployments, the end of birthright citizenship, and a crackdown on sanctuary cities, for the sharp decline in illegal entries.

Diving Deeper:

President Trump’s first full month back in office saw a seismic shift in border security policy, leading to what he called “the lowest number of illegal border crossings in decades.” In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump highlighted the stark contrast between his administration and Biden’s, stating:

“This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER. In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants.”

Upon taking office, Trump signed multiple executive orders that significantly curtailed illegal immigration. These include reinstating policies that allow expedited removals, deploying U.S. troops to the southern border, resuming construction of the border wall, and ending Biden-era programs that facilitated migrant entry through humanitarian parole. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reversed previous Biden restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to a sharp uptick in interior enforcement.

According to DHS data obtained by Fox News Digital, ICE interior arrests skyrocketed by 137% in just three weeks, with 11,791 arrests recorded from Jan. 20th to Feb. 8th—compared to 4,969 during the same period in 2024. High-profile raids in sanctuary cities have also yielded thousands of arrests, including gang members and violent offenders.

The economic impact of Trump’s border policies is already being felt. Federal funds that had been allocated to house illegal immigrants in hotels, particularly in cities like New York, are being clawed back. A recent executive order directed all federal agencies to identify and cut off taxpayer-funded programs that benefit illegal immigrants.

Despite congressional gridlock preventing any new border legislation, Trump’s administration has relied solely on executive authority to crack down on illegal immigration. His message to potential border crossers remains clear: “Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation.”
