Maybe for a second..., if I was the CBP agent, I might have been tempted to confiscate his weapons, release him, and taken the weapons to my favorite fishing hole and conveniently “lost them”.

CBP to Staff: “report any possible armed subjects approaching the border with possible explosive devices”

The CBP went on to say “Also, ignore the other ten million NOT armed with explosive devices. They can do as they please.”

What an utterly stupid statement.

Until one goes off none of the heads of mush will hear of it or care.

IEDs have been a fear of mine for many years. I retired from the Border Patrol in 2011. As we watched the destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan we knew instinctively we were wide open to this kind of attack.

It’s not like we drive around in unarmored SUVs. I’ve been warning about this for years and I’m surprised they have not done it yet.

Line agents would have to abandon driving anywhere near the border. The cartels would have complete operational control of the border.

One reason I figure they have not done it yet is because Biden already gave them operational control. The agents are all processing illegal aliens.

The other reason is that the cartels like to work as quietly as possible they don’t want attention. Killing Border Patrol Agents with an IED would be a major escalation demanding regular military troops be deployed to the border.

The cartels really, really don’t want that. Under the current system no matter how any drug shipments get seized are how many immigrant loads are intercepted the cartels are still making a hell of a lot of money.

The problem is the cartels are a competitive bunch and if the Gulf Cartel wanted to bring the hammer down on the Sinaloa Cartel they could deploy an IED in their territory and let them take the heat for it.

I’m glad I’m retired but I still fear for my agents.

They found ten IEDs on the US/Mexican border? Do we still have a border with Mexico or were they found in the general region where our southern border once was?

Enough of this bullsh!t. Send the US military down there with loaded weapons and orders to stop this madness, whatever it takes!
