Mexican cartels engage in firefight miles from Texas border | Rush Hour
Rival drug cartels recently engaged in a firefight just miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, using truck-mounted .50-caliber machine guns in a battle over smuggling routes. Lt. Christopher Olivarez with the Texas Department of Public Safety said the cartels continue to pose a threat to U.S. law enforcement personnel.

Don’t we have A military for a reason. Like bruh use them in Mexico
We can’t start a war in Mexico by citizens committing crime. If Mexico doesn’t handle this, US will sanction something that’ll last 1 week 😂😂😂😂
And where do the weapons of the cartels come from??? Exactly, from the US
If you want to declare war on the cartels, on Mexican soil, first stop arms trafficking from the US.
And stop placing all the blame on the Mexican authorities, that the American ones are equally or worse corrupted, with the difference that they do very well to go unnoticed (propaganda and control of the news, as well as "freedom" of expression )
Look. Mexico has the Mexican Army fighting the cartels and they still can’t win. What makes you think the U.S. National Guard will be any better? Cartels isn’t some crack head from Alabama with a pocket 380 caliber pistol. These are highly trained, highly organized, nationally terrifying criminals that are always on the FBI most wanted lists. Like cutting peoples heads off in the middle of intersections. Quite literally boiling bodies in warehouses. They have literally and still today slaughter entire families over night. They have armored vehicles, armored equipment on their bodies, they have high powered rifles, and have been trained to kill. Id rather shake hands with a terrorist from Afghanistan than to even stand 10 feet away from a cartel.
now you see that as a huge problem but this is all thaks to you you supply the weapons you comsume the drugs so do we blame for this
Mexican cartels pay the American Government to look the other way…. Why you think there has never been a military presence on the border. $$$$$$
We need to take over mexico border and send in military.
Just enter in a military alliance with the Mexican government and push congress to declare war on the cartels
Why don’t they bomb them with the Air Force jets or helicopters put pressure on the cartel & if Mexican government get mad well then let’s go to war because the Mexican government works with the cartel, instead of sending all these billions to “Ukraine “America should be sending that money to border & get ready for arm the American soldiers to start fighting Mexico
These dudes better be dead if Not our Government is too scared
"Olivarez" is watching the border. We’re fucked.
Can’t wait till they come to our cities and stop all the gangs from doing crime😂😂
They don’t force Americans to take the drugs yall the best customers just stop taking drugs and they will stop bringing that crap here there go somewhere else y’all Americans are the reason they bring it here just stop using and they loose money and they will leave so simple
Thats my Biden Boys! Showing up and making the election easy!
This is two months ago There getting closer. Arm yourself. You say that’s not the solution. Then suffer the consequences
The guns come from US an the US governament know
US govt is definitely funding these cartels.
The only reason why the US will never label the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups is for the simple fact that they will then have to open our borders to the Mexican public for a place of refuge. Our country will get flooded through the border with Mexican refugees… & that’s fax.
It’ll take another 9/11 event for the US to do anything at this point
China has incentive to supply Mexico with the precursors for fentanyl lol
The US side of the border should have guided rockets to shoot these gunmen who shoot at the US like this lol..just exchange fire with them keep them busy while the rocket fires off and hits them…that should stop them from attacking and think twice before taking on the US lol kinda says to me that this the cartel is testing the strength of the border or something..like how much firepower they have or something or the response
There using military grade weapons bought “legally “ In American
Take the money from the cartel and use it to build salt water desalinization plants across northern mexico.
This a normal monday in roma i saw tracers in the night acroos the border it was a cartel fighting so cartel vs cartel normal☕️☕️
There’s city’s in the US that are like this
Seems like the drone is the worst invention to come about. But also, of value to military, police and armed organizations. Drones have been around since the 80s but obviously, now, it’s just a lot smaller. I don’t doubt that the tech is already made for military to remotely jam unidentified drones in the sky.
But according to Biden the cartels are peaceful so this must be misinformaton lol
Build the wall!
No threat at all clearly the cartels are US government’s ally
Us and Mexico are best friends all of ya just don’t know the war on drugs. Drugs,MoneyGuns,Power,respect it’s what the government wants us and Mexico side. If us goes to Mexico and fight the cartels then there is no money to make use ya head
Northern Mexico has a lot of lithium. United States found a reason to invade northern Mexico. While they supply the cartels with weapons. Russia was right
makes the Cribs and bloods look like children
Us invaded afgganistan iraq but cant invade mexico? Dirty politicians that why
Governor Abbott needs to send more DPS And National Guard Troopers to our Southern Border ASAP
I’m kinda disappointed in texas rn I always looks at texas as the strongest and most patriot state.. I would think the police and civilians wouldn’t stand for this your technically being invaded and just letting it happen
Imagine if it was cartels taking russians place against ukraine, i can see them getting bombed on by ukrainian drones hahahaha
Texas trying to invade Mexico that I have a real war USA is gonna lose Russia’s when I’m back Mexico, would you like it or not and I saw some other countries going to bad Mexico so basically USA as fuck and remember Russia doesn’t play around
Mexicans have ppl on there side try there product to make sure the pills are not to strong.They don’t want ppl dying,because then who will be left to buy there product.Ppl get pure fentnyl from China through the mail.That is whats killing ppl
They got that drone from us lol
US gov is supporting the Cartel.
Mexico is incapable of dealing with their bs. USA has to wipe their nose everyday. With money and other aid. Failed state.
National guard is made up kids and many leaders butt up their ass, playing who said.
Fight like hell brothers for they will do the same 🙏
NOT KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS FENTANYL HAS KILLED over 100 thousand people a year sense 2019… that’s way more than The pandemic but no one’s gonna say anything about that
There are not political organizations there are criminal that is why they cannot be labeled terrorist. Great idea put pressure on Mexico so they ignore us. Here is some advice that will solve the problem. Stop the demand be attractive if you understand the basics of a capitalist system it is supply and demand. The way to get rid of supply is by getting rid of demand. Now let’s talk about our failed dug policy. If tge dea, at, and failed had stayed out of Mexico we eou,would, not have this problem. Each time they take another cartel boss they get three more and 5 times more violent. If the plaza system from the late 70s had been left in place there would be a few men doing business selling drugs. Instead we have splintered cell fight awars and sell drugs. These idiot have made the bed and now we have to sleep in it. The best thing would probably be for the government to start selling drugs take the profit out if znc offer rehab to those that want it. I am sure a lot of people will die but you need highway marks so you do take a wrong turn. It would completely remove tge funding for our gang problem and Mexico narco probkem
Nothing will ever happen and the US will never fight with them because the Mexican government and the US government is making so much money off of them
At least epstein is dead
It’s time to send a strong message to anyone who’s threatening people on our turf. We have very clear cut lines regardless of the immigration issue.
As a Mexican the US can declare war to these cartels in Mexico, But as long as they don’ t use that as an excuse to invade Mexico, Cuz we’re tired of the cartels too
Honestly, American government has no room to be complaining. They have the tools they have the resources they can kill cartel I don’t understand what’s going on here unless the US government is a part of the cartel that’s what I’m thinking that’s what I accuse American government of their part of the cartel. That’s just my personal opinion.
