Overview
- DHS said it has credible intelligence that Mexican criminal networks have offered tiered payments targeting ICE and CBP personnel.
- The agency detailed payouts of $2,000 for doxxing or intelligence, $5,000–$10,000 for kidnappings or non‑lethal assaults, and up to $50,000 for assassinations of senior officials.
- Officials reported rooftop spotter networks in Chicago neighborhoods such as Pilsen and Little Village that relayed agent movements and disrupted operations including Operation Midway Blitz.
- DHS said instructions were given to U.S.-based actors, including Chicago street gangs, and noted Antifa groups in Chicago and Portland provided logistical support and doxxed agent identities.
- After a video claimed cartels put a $50,000 bounty on agents, DHS posted a warning on X, and the account owner later told Blaze News the clip was a joke skit.
