Mexican drug cartels have escalated their war against American sovereignty to unprecedented levels, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirming that criminal organizations launched more than 42,000 unmanned drone flights near the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2025 alone.
This isn't just smuggling anymore, Patriots—this is military-grade surveillance and reconnaissance being conducted by foreign criminal enterprises against American law enforcement on our own soil. The cartels are literally flying spy missions over American territory while tracking our Border Patrol agents like enemy combatants.
According to CBP's bombshell statement to Breitbart Texas, these drone operations represent a "rapidly evolving" threat as cartels expand their aerial surveillance capabilities. The criminal organizations are using these unmanned aircraft to coordinate massive smuggling operations, probe American airspace, and gather intelligence on our border security operations.
Industrial-Scale Invasion Tactics
Think about those numbers for a moment—42,000 drone flights in a single fiscal year. That's more than 115 enemy drone incursions every single day along our southern border. This represents a level of organized criminal activity that rivals nation-state military operations.
"The cartels are conducting surveillance and reconnaissance missions against American law enforcement with the precision of a foreign military," one border security expert told sources familiar with the operations.
While President Trump's administration has been working tirelessly to secure our border and complete the wall, these revelations show just how sophisticated and well-funded these criminal organizations have become during the Biden years. The cartels didn't develop this capability overnight—they've been building this drone army while the previous administration turned a blind eye to border security.
This is exactly why Trump's mass deportation program and enhanced border security measures are so critical. We're not just dealing with desperate migrants seeking opportunity—we're facing organized criminal enterprises with military-grade technology conducting operations against American sovereignty.
The question every American should be asking: How many more threats are the cartels deploying against our border that we don't even know about yet?
