Federal authorities have issued a stark warning about a dangerous new strategy by criminal cartels at the U.S.-Mexico border. According to an internal alert, cartels are allegedly offering $10,000 to individuals willing to shoot at U.S. Border Patrol agents stationed along the southern border.

This alarming development was revealed after correspondent Ali Bradley obtained the alert last Friday. The document, originating from the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector, highlights intelligence on a potential “coordinated attack.” The cartels are reportedly incentivizing individuals with substantial monetary rewards to target U.S. agents.

Further details in the alert suggest that these attackers might disguise themselves in Mexican military uniforms to blend in while carrying long arms or machine guns, thereby avoiding suspicion. Although the immediate focus of this threat is the RGV Sector, it underscores a broader frustration among cartels that could impact the entire southwest border region.
