• Cartel members opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents in Starr County, Texas.
• This incident follows President Trump's recent designation of Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and increased military deployment.
• Texas Department of Public Safety footage captured cartel gunmen fleeing Mexico after the shooting.
• The Trump administration plans to deploy up to 10,000 troops to secure the southern border.
• The move is part of a broader strategy to restore national security and halt unlawful migration.

This is war

Chaos erupted along the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday when cartel members opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents in Starr County, Texas. This incident occurred just one week after President Donald Trump ramped up military deployment and designated Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The Texas Department of Public Safety provided footage of cartel gunmen fleeing Mexico after the shooting, adding to the urgency of the situation. The chaos along the border comes as part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to secure national security and halt unlawful migration. President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border during his inaugural address, promising to halt all illegal entry and begin the process of returning millions of criminal aliens to their countries of origin. Key Executive Orders: • End birthright citizenship for future children born to mothers who are in the United States unlawfully or temporarily unless the child's father is here legally and permanently. • Direct federal agencies to identify countries that do not provide sufficient information on their nationals and to bar those nationals from entry to the US. • Halt all refugee admissions into the United States until policy "aligns" with US interests. • Designate cartels and migrant gangs MS-13 and Tren de Aragua as foreign terrorist organizations. • Restrict federal funds from sanctuary cities and potentially take legal action against them. • Require immigrants unlawfully in the United States to register and be fingerprinted. • Deny public benefits to unauthorized immigrants. • Reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

Troops deployed to secure southern border

The Trump administration plans to deploy up to 10,000 troops to secure the southern border. This move follows Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses's reported signing of a deployment order for 1,500 active-duty troops who would support border agents by assisting with logistics, transportation, and the construction of barriers. Active-duty forces are prohibited by law from doing law enforcement duties, but that may change based on a 90-day report from the incoming secretary of defense and homeland security chief on whether the Insurrection Act should be invoked. Border Czar Tom Homan's Confirmation: Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed earlier this week that large-scale raids targeting criminal illegal aliens were already underway. These raids are part of a broader strategy to secure the southern border and protect the American people from the unlawful migration facilitated by globalist Democrats in the Biden-Harris regime. The American people have given President Donald Trump a mandate to restore national security. This illegal alien invasion had consequences, including the loss of American lives. Once the southern and northern borders are secured, the American people must hold accountable the politicians, non-profits, federal agencies, staffing companies, corporations, and others involved in facilitating the migration invasion that has undermined national security. The latest developments in the Trump administration's strategy to secure the southern border and restore national security are a testament to the will of the American people. The chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border is a stark reminder of the urgency of the task at hand. The move to deploy up to 10,000 troops and the designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations are critical steps in the administration's campaign to fulfill its promise to the majority of voters. The American people want a safe homeland and an end to far-left globalist policies. The Trump administration's extraordinary move to restore national security is a step in the right direction.
