Possible scenario
Successful Agent Abduction
15% Chance
A cartel cell succeeds in taking one or more U.S. border agents, forcing an immediate FBI, DHS, and White House crisis response. This is lower probability because U.S. agencies are on alert, but the timeline of cartel drone activity, sanctions, and troop deployment makes it a credible tail risk.
