- 🎯 Tens of thousands of Mexican drug cartel drones are being used along the U.S. southern border, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
- 📈 This is described as a normal escalation in cartel tactics, similar to their past use of semi-submersible submarines for drug trafficking.
- 🔍 Drones are employed not only for drug delivery (heroin, methamphetamines) but also for surveillance and reconnaissance of border areas.
- ⚠️ The goal of surveillance is to identify weaknesses and soft spots in border security to facilitate illicit drug entry.
Potential Threats and Administration Response
- ⚔️ While weaponization of drones has been observed in conflicts like Ukraine, Elizondo believes cartels are currently more focused on illegal business than lethal attacks.
- 🚨 However, he stresses that the drone threat along the southern border requires immediate attention from the current administration.
- 💡 Elizondo mentions Sarah Carter, the nominee for US Drug Czar, as a positive development, noting her experience with opium production and South American drug operations.
