Mexican Cartels Fly 9,000 Drone Flights into U.S. to Surveil Law Enforcement Operations -...

(05 12 22) 9,000 drones were used by Mexican cartels in the last year to enter US territory for surveillance of security weaknesses. The drones are observing federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, to include the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, and county sheriffs and local police. The Border Patrol has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) guidance/ memory systems to gain intelligence information.

Judicial Watch learned about the Mexican cartel drone incursions during a recent visit to the southern border and specifically while interviewing federal officials at the CBP Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas.
