Under President Donald Trump’s administration, U.S. military officers lately confirmed that Mexican drug cartels are using drones to monitor U.S. military personnel stationed along the southern boundary of the country.
As part of the 47th government’s assault on illegal immigration, around 10,000 U.S. military service people are now stationed along the southern border, according to Scripps News. The report noted that the organization late traveled to the southern border in Arizona with U.S. Army officials to observe the military’s” Joint Task Force – Southern Border” mission.
Lt. Col. Lukas Berg stated in an interview with Scripps News that the army ‘ “mission is to help Customs and Border Patrol in controlling the U.S. Southern Border and preserve the territorial integrity of the United States.”
The U.S. army has been able to observe the military’s activities along the southern border, according to authorities.
” We have access to major monitoring on that. Because we operate plane in the same area, that is of considerable attention to us, Berg said. ” We’re observing, we’re monitoring, and then we’re passing those observations immediately to Customs and Border Patrol.”

According to Scripps News, U.S. military authorities confirmed that one of the reasons the government hasn’t used drones close to the southern border is because the government has not been given the right to fire down the uavs. But, officials told the news that any gang robots that threaten American troops stationed along the southern border have the right to be taken down by the defense.
The chief of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, Air Force Gen. Gregory M. Guillot, testified last month in front of the House Armed Services Committee regarding a” shift to the concept of power” he has proposed under the Trump presidency.
The proposed change, according to Guillot, would “allow us to take down or take down robots that are surveiling over our deployed and cellular troops …not only those who are in self-defense, but also those who are planning the next strike on us within five yards of the border,” Guillot said.
The U.S. military troops stationed at the southern boundary are now not permitted to shoot down drones along the boundary “because they’re mobile,” Guillot told the House Armed Services Committee next week.
