Cartels Target US Border Agents for Kidnapping in Texas DHS Alert

US Politics14 days ago

A known alien smuggler is coordinating the entry of multiple migrants from Colombia and Venezuela into the United States as part of a scheme to abduct law enforcement officers. An internal Department of Homeland Security alert warns that Customs and Border Protection personnel in the Presidio and El Paso areas of Texas are the targets of these kidnapping attempts.

CBP officials stated they monitor proactive intelligence on all foreign actors who threaten the homeland and vet all information with appropriate partners. The agency declined to detail the specific tactics used to mitigate these threats, noting that disclosing security procedures would jeopardize the safety of its personnel and the U.S. homeland.
