  The new threat hovering over the southern border | Bradley on the Border

  Sep 17, 20268 min

  The Department of War and Border Patrol are laser-focused on the Rio Grande Valley as cartels increasingly turn to drones to surveil agents, guide migrants and potentially carry payloads across the southern border. In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," Ali Bradley gets an exclusive interview with Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Chief Jared Ashby. He told Bradley agents have encountered a drone capable of carrying a payload in the sector within the last several months, calling the drone threat “real.” Border Patrol says cartels are also using drones from Mexico to guide migrants across without a smuggler physically accompanying them, allowing operators to surveil law enforcement and direct groups remotely. The military has deployed its high-energy laser system to the RGV, while Border Patrol said Customs and Border Protection is strictly using signal-based technology to disrupt drones. #southernborder #cartels #drones CREDITS Host: Ali Bradley Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson Editor: Rob Alvarez On "Bradley on the Border," NewsNation's Ali Bradley shows what it's like along the southern border and across the country as law enforcement agencies work to combat human and drug smuggling and enforce immigration policies.

  US, Mexico team up to slow Juárez Cartel's drug trafficking efforts | Bradley on the Border

  Aug 20, 202652 min

  In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," Bradley is down in El Paso, Texas, where U.S. and Mexican forces teamed up for a rapid-response border security operation. The binational exercise, led by the U.S. Border Patrol’s El Paso sector, included multiple U.S. federal agencies, and on the Mexican side, units from the National Guard and Army. The exercise included a CBP helicopter insertion and a coordinated patrol by the Mexican military across the border in Ciudad Juárez. This comes just weeks after the U.S. officially designated the Juárez Cartel — the cartel operating directly across the border from El Paso — as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.” Jesse Muñoz, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection sector chief in El Paso, told Bradley federal officials are now sending a message that those caught assisting criminal organizations will be dealt with more severely, and the goal is 100% prosecution rates. #BorderPatrol #cartels #Juarez CREDITS: Host: Ali Bradley Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson Editor: Allen Keefner On "Bradley on the Border," NewsNation's Ali Bradley shows what it's like along the southern border and across the country as law enforcement agencies work to combat human and drug smuggling and enforce immigration policies.
