Sinaloa Cartel Members Authorized to Shoot at U.S. Border Patrol

An internal memo warns that cartel infighting has increased threats against U.S. agents following key arrests.

The Sinaloa cartel has reportedly given its members permission to open fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents, according to an internal memo.
This escalation follows the arrest of cartel leaders Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, leading to increased infighting.
The memo, distributed to agents in the El Paso sector, highlights recent gunfire incidents involving contractors in Texas' Del Rio Sector.
Former Homeland Security agents emphasize the growing boldness of cartels, which now use military-grade weaponry to assert control.
There is a rising concern over the safety of border patrol agents and the potential need for increased military involvement.
