In an alarming development on the U.S-Mexican border, an official warning has been issued to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to watch out for explosive devices. This caution follows the recent discovery of multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) after a violent altercation between rival cartel factions.
The Mexican military made this discovery of ten IEDs on the Mexican side of the border following a gunfight. As a precautionary measure, the U.S. Border Patrol has alerted its agents to stay vigilant for potential explosive devices. A federal law enforcement source released details of the officer safety alert issued this week urging extreme caution. The alert advised agents to report anyone potentially armed approaching the border with possible explosive devices.
