“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,” the memo stated.
Agents Advised to Prepare for Violence
The leaked document instructs all Border Patrol and military personnel to remain on high alert, report any drone sightings immediately, and ensure they are equipped with body armor and first aid kits. The threat comes as cartels continue to see their illicit profits shrink due to stricter border policies.
These criminal organizations have already used social media to incite hostility toward U.S. law enforcement, urging illegal immigrants to spit on Border Patrol agents and resist cooperation. More alarmingly, cartel gunmen have been observed opening fire on Border Patrol officers from across the border, with agents returning fire in at least one recent skirmish.
Kamikaze Drones – A Deadly Threat
Terrorist groups in the Middle East and Ukraine have demonstrated the devastating potential of kamikaze drones, which can deliver deadly payloads with pinpoint accuracy. The cartels, always adapting their tactics, appear ready to use this weaponry against U.S. forces.
Lawmakers and security experts have warned for years that the cartels function more like terrorist organizations than traditional crime syndicates. Trump has already designated them as such, and military action remains on the table if the violence escalates further.
Calls for Stronger Action Against Cartels
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has suggested an aggressive response, including reviving a 19th-century practice that allowed private parties to take direct action against hostile foreign entities.

“Congress could issue letters of marque and reprisal authorizing private security firms or specially trained civilians to intercept cartel operations, particularly those involving drug shipments or human trafficking across borders,” Lee wrote on X. “Focus on disrupting supply lines, capturing high-value targets, or seizing assets like boats, vehicles, cash, gold, or equipment used in criminal activities.”
With cartels openly threatening attacks on U.S. personnel, the stakes have never been higher. The Biden administration’s lax policies allowed criminal enterprises to flourish, but with Trump back in office, a showdown seems inevitable. Whether through military action, intelligence operations, or private security forces, the battle for border security is far from over.
One thing is clear: the cartels are playing a deadly game, and the United States is preparing to respond in kind.
