The war at the border is picking up. There’s no telling how hot it will get.

Because now U.S. Border Patrol has come under gunfire at the Southern Border.

Suspected Mexican cartel members were caught on video brazenly opening fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents near the southern border Monday, as a group of migrants reportedly attempted to enter the country illegally, authorities confirmed.

The gunfire erupted around 1:30 p.m. near Fronton, Texas, according to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statement, which offered limited details on the incident.

Cartel gunmen began shooting as migrants were trying to cross the Rio Grande, Fox News reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Border Patrol agents swiftly returned fire, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said.

“DPS responded to assist the US Border Patrol after agents received gunfire from cartel members in Mexico while patrolling in Fronton,” Lt. Chris Olivarez wrote on X, sharing dramatic video footage of the armed attackers.

“DPS drone operators captured the gunmen fleeing Mexico due to military presence and seeking refuge on an island between the US and Mexico,” he added.

The footage shows at least four heavily armed men walking along the riverbank, attempting to hide in the brush.

In the clips, several of them can be seen aiming their weapons directly at the drone tracking their movements.

“The State of Texas will continue to monitor the area closely and use every resource available to prevent transnational threats to our law enforcement partners and the homeland,” Olivarez vowed.

Authorities said the investigation remains active, with multiple agencies involved, including the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility, DHS Office of Inspector General, FBI, and Texas DPS. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

As for the migrants caught in the chaos, they reportedly failed to make it across the border during the incident.

This shooting comes as President Trump doubles down on his commitment to securing the southern border, making it a central focus of his second term.

Last week, U.S. officials announced the Pentagon would deploy up to 1,500 active-duty troops to the border, adding to the 2,200 National Guard and Reserve personnel already stationed there.

The Washington Post also reported that Trump is considering sending as many as 10,000 additional troops to fortify the border, further cementing his administration’s tough stance on illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported a surge in enforcement activity, with 1,179 arrests and 853 detainers issued on Monday, following 956 arrests and 554 detainers the previous day.

With cartel violence spilling over and illegal crossings on the rise, the administration is ramping up efforts to send a clear message: America’s borders are not open for exploitation.
