#1 Cartels not reacting well to closed border. May need to establish a "US Border War" category.

#3 I'm sure the air force has many bored TACPs along with bored pilots of A-10s needing flight hours. Embed them with the border patrol.

Maybe "The Don" needs to use a little US show of force like, Operation Restore Control, or Operation Kiss-Ass, to free the Mexico Gov from Cartel controls?

#7 Hot pursuit (also known as fresh or immediate pursuit) is the urgent and direct pursuit of a criminal suspect by law enforcement officers, or by belligerents under international rules of engagement for military forces. Such a situation grants the officers in command powers they otherwise would not have.

#11 Because cartels like to have big shoot outs with border control along their smuggling routes.

"A group of illegal aliens was attempting to cross the Rio Grande while bullets were fired"

Definitely sounds like cartel and not local coyotes and border smugglers.

Peppering legacy news with stories about cartel shooting at our guys is definitely not gaslighting because we know it is the cartels that want the cartel wars and not the other way around. Definitely just the cartels trying to win popular support for their future offensive against border control and DEA.

#12 Mexican cartels are terrorist organizations and always have been. The southern border has been under "invasion" status for the entire duration of the Biden regime, even though it's a "no-no" term for a lot of the USA, along with their refusal to consider the Biden open border policy a "high crime and misdemeanor" under the terms of the US Constitution.
