Drug cartels in Mexico are reportedly focused on American border patrols with explosives and kamikaze drones.
The attacks come after President Trump a harsh action against illegal migrants who crossed the southern border and promised Mexico to send 10,000 troops to the other side of the border.
Officers were warned by a warning that they 'must stay informed of their environment at all times' in the light of new threats, while the cartels desperately trying to thwart the authorities.
In an internal memo, seen by the New York Post, agents received an 'Officer Safety Alert'.
It said: 'On February 1, 2025, the El Paso sector intelligence and operations center (EPT-IOC) received information stating that Mexican cartel leaders have authorized the deployment of drones equipped with explosives used against American border patrol and American soldiers personally personally Currently works along the border with Mexico.
“It is recommended that all American border patrol agents and DOD staff members who work along the border work, report every observation of drones to their respective leadership staff and the EPT-IOC.”
Officers on the border have also been told to ensure that they have the 'right equipment' to tackle an incident. This includes a first aid kit, tourniquets and body armor.
According to News Nation, cartels are also reportedly using social media apps to tell illegal immigrants to spit and urinate the food of ice officers and to poop in their vehicles.

American Border Patrol stationed on the Mexican border was fired by a presumably drug cartel in an attempt to smuggle illegal migrants to Texas on Monday 27 January
In a particularly shocking post, they encouraged people to kill local ice officers.
The memo comes a week after a shocking video showed the American border patrol on the Mexican border to be fired by a suspected drug cartel that tries to smuggle illegal migrants to Texas.
The firefight broke out on Monday 27 January in Fronton, Texas, near Guadalupe Guerra, exactly a week after President Donald Trump returned to the office and his major deportation started when he explained Mexican drug cartels as 'terrorists'.
Images shows a small group of ragging cartel members who cross from Mexico to an island in the Rio Grande River.
Dressed in black or in camouflage outfits, the gangsters can be seen waving with their weapons around and point to American drones who 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.

No agents were injured in this shootout.
In the meantime, Trump's new Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth has claimed that Trump is open to the use of air strikes against the cartels.
Hegseeth spoke on Friday morning with his former Fox News colleagues, revealed that Trump instructs him to make resources needed to go after the cartels.
Host Brian Kilmeade asked Hegseeth: 'If we notice that they continue to shoot at border control and they continue to place Fentanyl in our country, as a Minister of Defense, are you now allowed to go after them in Mexico or where they are? '

“Brian, I don't want to get the president ahead and I won't do it,” the secretary started. “That will eventually be his decision.”
“But let me be clear,” he said. “All options will be on the table if we are dealing with what is designated as foreign terrorist organizations that focus specifically on Americans at our border.”
The broad reaction of Hegseeth could be conceived as every series of American military power, including strikes from the land, sea or air, can be 'on the table' to go after the cartels.
He also noted that the US Army is also shifting his attitude to better defend the country at home.
