Disturbing intelligence has surfaced about Mexican drug cartels placing bounties on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

As reported by Breitbart News, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem disclosed that cartels are offering payments ranging from $2,000 for identifying agents and their families to as much as $50,000 for murdering high-ranking DHS officials. 

The cartels aren’t acting alone in this sinister plot. Reports confirm they’ve enlisted the help of the Latin Kings gang and far-left groups like Antifa to carry out their threats, turning urban centers into battlegrounds against federal authority.

Cartel Bounties Escalate to Deadly Threats

The stakes get even grimmer, with bounties ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 for kidnapping or assaulting agents, and a staggering $50,000 for the murder of top DHS officials.

It’s not just a lone operation; the Latin Kings, a violent gang rooted in Chicago, are actively collaborating with the cartels to make these threats a reality.

Reports indicate that the Latin Kings have positioned “spotters” armed with firearms and radios on rooftops, tracking ICE agents’ every move in real time—turning urban streets into a battlefield.

Antifa Joins the Fray Against ICE

Adding fuel to this dangerous fire, Antifa groups in Chicago and Portland, Oregon, are providing logistical backing to the cartels, including pre-staged protest gear and efforts to obstruct arrests of cartel-linked unauthorized migrants.

Antifa’s involvement also includes exposing ICE agents’ personal information, a tactic that undermines law enforcement safety while claiming to champion some misguided cause.

Let’s not pretend this is about justice—it’s a calculated alliance with criminal networks that puts American lives at risk under the guise of progressive ideals.

DHS and DOJ Push Back Hard

DHS Secretary Noem didn’t mince words about the severity of this coordinated attack on federal agents. “These criminal networks are not just resisting the rule of law, they are waging an organized campaign of terror against the brave men and women who protect our borders and communities,” she stated.

She went on to affirm the government’s resolve, saying, “Our agents are facing ambushes, drone surveillance, and death threats, all because they dare to enforce the laws passed by Congress. We will not back down from these threats, and every criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice.”

That’s the kind of backbone we need—acknowledging the danger while refusing to let lawlessness win, even as cartels and their allies up the ante.

Investigations Target Funding Behind Chaos

Meanwhile, Border Czar Tom Homan assured the public that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is digging deep into who’s bankrolling these anti-ICE efforts, stating, “The Department of Justice is all over this … it’s being worked [to find out who is doing this].”

This isn’t just a street-level skirmish; it’s a funded operation, and uncovering the money trail could expose the puppet masters behind this alarming escalation.

Make no mistake, the safety of those who guard our borders is non-negotiable, and while some may cheer for chaos under trendy slogans, the reality is that these bounties threaten the very fabric of law and order—something no American should stand for.
