In a shocking escalation of violence along the southern border, the Sinaloa Cartel has issued an alarming directive authorizing its members to shoot and kill U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

The unprecedented move follows recent arrests of high-ranking cartel leaders, leading to a power struggle between factions vying for control. With all indications that gang members feel emboldened, former special agents and border security experts are urging federal authorities to act immediately.

Victor Avila, a former Homeland Security agent, warned that the cartel’s new willingness to use deadly force is not just a local problem but a serious national security concern.

“The main reason they are fighting for these spots is because these spots are the corridors to enter the United States,” Avila said. This reality highlights the urgent need for strict border security measures, which have been neglected under the current administration.

As reports of an increase in assaults surface, current CBP officers have been asked to increase their vigilance in the face of an increase in armed confrontations. Ranchers in Texas recently reported being shot at by cartel members, demonstrating a blatant disregard for law enforcement and a direct challenge to U.S. sovereignty.

Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump responded quickly, advocating a robust military response. “We need a military operation,” he said. “These people became military. They’re very rich, have a lot of money. They’re probably some of the richest people in the world.”

Trump’s call for action resonates with many citizens concerned about growing violence at the border and the growing sophistication of cartels’ weapons. Recent intelligence reports reveal that cartel members are now using military-grade weapons, further highlighting the need for federal intervention to protect both law enforcement officers and innocent migrants.

As this crisis unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the implications of weakening border policies and the great urgency of reassessing America’s approach to border security. The silent war waged by the cartels not only against law enforcement but against the very fabric of American society must not be ignored.

Now is the time to act decisively; it is imperative that the leaders of this country respond with the same urgency and seriousness as the situation demands. Failure to act could have disastrous consequences not only for those on the front lines but for all Americans as the threat of organized crime continues to grow.
