| Border Patrol Agents On High Alert For Potential Cartel Assassination Attempts |

| [ZeroHedge] While the Pentagon is more concerned about deploying National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. to help deal with upcoming trucker convoy protests, the situation at the southern border continues to spiral out of control as Border Patrol agents have been placed on high alert that Mexican drug cartels may be plotting to assassinate them. The Washington Examiner reports Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents stationed near Fronton, Texas, between Miguel Aleman and Los Guerra, Tamaulipas, Mexico, should wear full kevlar (commonly known as body armor) and be equipped with long-arm guns, such as lightweight semi-automatic rifles, due to new information drug cartels are "discussing killing U.S. law enforcement personnel" in the area. In mid-October, a Fox News reporter tweeted a shocking video of suspected cartel members firing machine guns over a National Guard observation. The Washington Examiner explains cartel members are now dressed in military fatigues and armed with AK-47 rifles. "What's been happening actually this past week is we see a group of individuals that are coming across — they're smuggling people — but what they're doing is they come across the river into the U.S. and smuggle people, they go back into Mexico, and they get their weapons," Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Christopher Olivarez said. |
