Breaking: Attempted Ambush of Border Patrol Agents in Texas, Suspect Did Not Survive - Redditor or cartel sicario? Either way, they got BTFO'd by Border Patrol

Immigration enforcement agents are under attack across the country as Democrats and their mainstream media allies ramp up their dangerously incendiary rhetoric against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, DHS, the border patrol, and President Trump's illegal immigration policies.

The latest instance occurred on Monday morning in Texas, where border patrol agents were targeted in what appears to be an ambush attack.

The suspect did not make it out alive, according to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin:

Three federal & TX law enforcement sources tell me an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning. Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition.

DHS also provided this information:

“This morning, an individual opened fired at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter. This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”

The attempted ambush comes on the heels of reports that Democrat lawmakers are being pressed by angry, unhinged constituents to be more aggressive in their attacks on the Trump administration - and to even be willing to take one for the team if necessary when visiting federal facilities including ICE detention centers, which my colleague Rusty Weiss reported on earlier.

This is a breaking news story. We'll keep you posted on further developments.

Update: DHS shared another update noting "Two officers and a Border Patrol employee were injured, including one shot in the knee. All three have gone to the hospital."
 
I dunno I hear conflicting stories about the reality of hit men. Like there’s no dedicated people assigned to it, it’s just a side gig for 99% of them many of whom are chosen more for being expendable than for being competent.

Other than when the cartels overwhelm the authorities in Mexico like when they besieged that one city to free El Chapo or one of his spawn, their ability to threaten trained and prepared opponents seems overblown mostly.

No this is probably some retard who saw that one video of the pooner calling for people to kill ICE.

Cartel capabilities against the military are definitely overblown. They have some nice rifles and plenty of tacticool, but remember these guys are mostly losers from poor farming backgrounds, methheads and street thugs or even forcibly recruited drug addicts. They post pics of themselves all dressed up with guns all the time, and while I'm no expert on firearms the American guys commenting will always be laughing at their set ups. It's a weird recurring thing that their guns won't have sights, or sights on backwards and shit like that

They can on occasion be successful against the military, and they do any chance they get recruit trained military (However these guys are usually used to train expendable sicarios rather than be put in actual danger themselves), but generally trained military will hand their asses to them. People say the Mexican government/military is outgunned but they're really not, they're held back by lots of corruption and legal red tape. But whenever the Mexican military get a greenlight to go after cartel guys generally they will get the job done no problem unless the guy manages to bug the fuck out and evade them. Cartels also have a much harder time corrupting military guys because they're smart enough to station anonymous guys from other parts of the country. Police on the other hand are local, with their families and friends known to and in reach of the cartels, so cartels easily corrupt police if not just through bribery then by threatening people close to them. But anytime anything major (ie public and sensational) happens with the cartels the government will respond by flooding the area with a few thousand troops which tends to calm things down very quickly

Cartels always have massive demand for meat which is why they're always forcing and blackmailing people into working for them. Most cartel guys get wrecked or captured with the quickness, it's obviously a world full of incredible dangers from multiple angles. As such, there's not a whole lot of value in properly training guys up and those competent people they do have they'll protect as best they can.

There is a cartel called Cartel Del Noreste who are based in Nuevo Laredo on the Texas border. They are an offshoot from the now dead Los Zetas cartel, who were like the blueprint for the militarized cartel everyone is familiar with nowadays. CDN had that same aggressiveness for a while and were notorious for ambushing military patrols and the authorities in general but it became a running joke that even with the element of surprise they would get destroyed 99/100. In recent years after the capture of their former leader El Huevo they have calmed down a lot and changed their approach. But this cartel was also known for getting into skirmishes with US Border Patrol because being a border cartel they were/are deeply involved in migrant smuggling

I'd be surprised if any cartel was deliberately targeting US Authorities now. They will be taking the threats from Trump very seriously and will not want to provoke him. As someone who follows the cartels, the last few years have been fairly uneventful in terms of the open, public violence that was common a while back (It still happens occasionally, mostly in regards to the civil war in the Sinaloa Cartel rn, but compared to earlier years it has very noticeably slowed down). Cartels were trending towards the model of staying out of public sight and avoiding attention even before Trump started making threats.

The cartels would have made the ICE agents eat each other or some shit.
If it was a cartel hit, those ice agents would've killed the guy and 20 innocent bystanders for a total body count of 80. because

the cartels would've sent more than 1 guy and they would've inshallah'd all their rounds.

Los Zetas cartel,
when people think about cartels beating the federales its usually from the Zetas era. but that was a decade ago. the original zetas are mostly dead and those were the actual tier 1 operators. There was a pic of a cartel dude with a manpad but i haven't found the source of it along with talk about the cartels using ied drones to fight but again, no sources only talk.

Cartels aren't rolling up to Fort Bragg in a pickup to throw down with the US military, they're shooting up civilians or cops. For that case five idiots with half broken Chinese AK knockoffs are perfectly sufficient for the task. They don't need to invest in stone cold mercenaries to bully some locals, so why waste the money? I'm sure there are competent soldiers on their payroll, but doubt that they're spending the money to field and arm a large force.

The Zetas split into Cartel Del Noreste and Zetas Vieja Escuela (Old School Zetas)

Cartel Del Noreste is the faction that was the commanded by the infamous Z-40 and inherited now by his family. Z-40 was a psychopathic killer and effective leader but also not at all military trained. CDN is the faction I referenced in my post and generally they're kind of a stupid operation that makes lots of mistakes (Z-40 himself was captured way back and recently extradited to the US, although he was apparently running the cartel from prison in Mexico), however they have been able to retain control of some of the most valuable territory in the cartel world

Zetas Vieja Escuela is an ultra-secretive cartel which is apparently run by the surviving members of the original, military-trained Zetas. It's kind of incredible to think after the long and storied history of the Zetas, some of those original special forces guys are still active even when so many of them have been killed or captured. It also makes sense that they run an operation that completely avoids the spotlight. Those guys must be some of the smartest in the game for sure, although a lot of them were complete ghosts even during the messy history of the Zetas and people just kind of assume they're still alive and in control. The only time you really hear about ZVE is in relation to the soap opera that is the Gulf Cartel

CJNG (Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion) is like the modern successor to the Zetas (Which is ironic because they began as an organization aimed specifically at fighting the Zetas). They are highly militarized and expansionist, and were also big attention-whores although in recent years they have stopped with the big public displays of violence and power because the authorities have a big hard-on for them and have successfully captured a lot of their top players. But recently they had some major clashes with the military. This is the cartel that (Years ago now) was able to shoot down a military chopper with an RPG, and also released a ton of extremely violent and infamous execution/torture videos like Ghost Rider and Quiero Agua

Are there any in-depth English language web sources for any of these inter-cartel conflicts and splinter organizations? I've always wanted to dive in but have no idea where to begin.
 
Dude check out this dudes ride too 🤣

Fun Fact - the Chevy Cobalt was the most-repo'd car on our lot circa 2006 - 2010. 1/3 were that or it's thinly-disguised badge equivalent Pontiac.

The number of absolute fail-sons who were trying to finance them off a pizza delivery job was legion.

Make of that what you will.

Speaking of making what I will about that pic?

Man I love seeing the dead bodies of the super soyldiers lying face down in a pool of their own blood. It really brightens my day, Is there something wrong with me, or is hate functioning normally?

It's almost as kino as that retard who lit himself on fire to protest Israel last year. That was a fun watch.

Not to mention cartels murking feds on US soil would be a major escalation.
Yeah I suspect cartels deliberately hunting down US government agents during this administration would earn their leadership the Soleimani Treatment. Actually, no, it would probably be harsher.

At the end of the day, the Cartels are businessmen. Psychotic, bloodthirsty, and utterly barbaric, but businessmen nonetheless. And they know that taking on US Feds on US soil is very much bad for business.

Well unfortunately a lot of good English sources have been banned or slowed down, but a great source that remains is Borderland Beat. They have regular news on current events, but also great articles on cartel history and people, with a huge archive of these articles (This site also has gore/execution videos as they pop up but they're signposted if you wanted to avoid them)


Also you might be surprised to know that Wiki is an excellent source and has a lot of cartel content. When I first got interested in the cartels I fell in the Wiki rabbit hole and it taught me a lot about the organizations and people and history. Here are some examples to start you off











There are also good books on the cartels. The main author I would say is Anabel Hernandez who is an investigative journalist who writes in-depth overviews on cartel subjects with an emphasis on the corruption that maintains them. She has to travel everywhere with bodyguards
