This is the shocking moment that the American border patrol was stationed on the Mexican border was fired by a presumably drug cartel in an attempt to smuggle illegal migrants to Texas.
The firefight broke out on Monday near the disputed territory of Fronton, Texas, exactly one week after President Donald Trump returned to the office and his radical deportation started.
Images shows a small group of ragging cartel members dressed in black or in camouflage outfits that wave their weapons around and point them to American drones that patrol in the area.
They can also be seen along the riverbank in a separate clip before they are accompanied by a few other gang members.
Another video shows a man dressed in black hidden in some bushes, focusing his weapon to a drone.
He then deteriorates and moves deeper into the foliage, where the contours of other man can also be seen.
Although the cartel that is suspected of being responsible for violence, shooting across the border for years, newsnation reports that the crisis in the region “has escalated in unprecedented ways since President Trump was chosen.”
The cartel is said to have 'given orders to photograph on agents recently'.

Border Patrol 'returned the fire' and the 'illegal alien beings did not make it,' Fox reported.
Fronton became a favorite Mexican cartel destination to smuggle people and drugs across the border, because of dense forest and vegetation that made it difficult to patrol.
Texas DPS-Lieutenant Chris Olivarez said Fox that state officials 'had enough' in October and launched a complete performance, cleaning up the vegetation and brush to make it impossible for cartels to secretly move the area.
Governor Greg Abbott launched Operation Lone Star on cartels in the area and sent a letter to the Biden-Harris administration that criticized their handling of the border crisis.
“For years the cartels were 'walking' in the 'thick vegetation' of Fronton Island and 'bullet structures' along the river to organize illegal entries,” he wrote.
'I will not hand over the Staatsland to transnational criminal cartels that smuggle people, weapons and drugs. I will not remain unemployed because these threats endanger the law enforcement of Texas and Texas communities. '

President Trump campaigned on a promise to free America from illegal immigrants and held on to his word, immediately started with the greatest mass -Drive in the US.
And the authorities have since confirmed that attempts to enter the country illegally are at a low point, with fewer than 600 newcomers on Sunday.
The Sector of Del Rio – who had more than 4,000 intersections every day at the height of the crisis in December 2023, only registered 60 on Sunday.
In the last days of the Biden administration, between 1,200 and 1,400 people arrived every day to enter the US.
There are an estimated 11 million migrants without papers in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security Statistics.
“In the first week of the Trump government, we realized the promise of President Trump to the American people to illegally arrest and deport violent criminals in the country,” the department said in a statement.
“In a week, law enforcement officials removed 7,300 illegal alien beings and sent them back … including hundreds of convicted criminals.”
Deportation flights to Jordan, Brazil, Mexico and El Salvador have all taken place, the authorities said.

Upon returning to the White House, President Trump explained the foreign terrorist organizations of Mexican drug cartels' and said that there was a 'national emergency situation' at the border.
About 1500 active troops were deployed this week in the nearly 2,000 miles border, including 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton in California.
The Pentagon expects extra troops to be ordered to implement in the coming days, because leaders of defense and domestic safety request more support.
Trump has restored a 'remains in the Mexico' policy – including people who submit an application to enter the US from Mexico until their application has been decided.
The White House has also stopped an asylum program for people who are fleeing authoritarian regimes in Central and South America, so that thousands of people on the Mexican side of the border were stranded.
