Drug cartels fighting a fierce turf war in western Mexico began weaponizing commercial drones by turning them into delivery systems for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive photographs of the explosives devices and the methods used by cartel operators.

This week, Mexican authorities confirmed that two police officers in Michoacán were injured by an attack from cartel gunmen who used commercial drones to drop IEDs, Breitbart Texas reported. The attack came after state police officers removed a series of roadblocks aimed at keeping rival cartels from using armored SUVs to carry out attacks in their attempts to take control.

While various news outlets in Mexico claimed that Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) instigated the attack, law enforcement sources in Michoacán revealed to Breitbart Texas that authorities believe an alliance known as Carteles Unidos were actually the ones behind the drone attacks. That criminal organization is made up of smaller regional cartels including Los Viagras, various self-defense groups, and remnants of La Familia Michoacana who are openly fighting off an invasion from CJNG. Carteles Unidos claims to have financial and manpower support from CJNG’s archrival — the Sinaloa Cartel. For several weeks, rival cartels carried out a series of fierce clashes where they used makeshift armored vehicles, explosives, and high-powered weapons. Mexico’s government is largely unable to do anything to address the raging violence that has been ongoing for weeks.

Breitbart Texas obtained a series of photographs showing members of Carteles Unidos making and testing a series of IEDs. The devices appear to be made out of pipes shaped like a mortar round. Those IEDs are then attached to commercial drones and then dropped from the air.

Information obtained exclusively by Breitbart Texas revealed that the operator behind the development of the weaponized drones claims to have had U.S. military training. However, Breitbart Texas was not able to confirm the claim.

Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and other areas to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish.

Report: Biden to Deploy 650 More Troops to Afghanistan

Afghan news outlets, citing CNN, reported Tuesday that the administration of President Joe Biden would soon deploy another 650 troops to Afghanistan, where Biden expanded the U.S. presence through at least September in an order this month.

Afghanistan’s Khaama Press and Pajhwok Afghan News reported the alleged troop number increase as meant to protect American forces as they withdraw. CNN claimed the news originated with “several defense officials,” none of whom went on the record.

“The deployment was approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin late last week as part of a package of military assets being sent to the country to facilitate the US withdrawal, which is due to be complete by September 11,” CNN alleged.

Former President Donald Trump arranged an agreement with the Taliban, which the United States has been fighting in Afghanistan for two decades, last year that would have resulted in a full American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by May 1. The deal required the Taliban to cut ties to foreign terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and no longer attack American forces. Biden broke the deal this month, disregarding Trump’s May 1 deadline and claiming all American forces would leave by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the jihadist attacks on the U.S. homeland that prompted the Afghanistan invasion.

The Taliban denounced Biden’s breach of the agreement and asserted their jihadists now had no reason to abide by their vow not to attack American forces between May and September.

According to Khaama Press, citing some American sources, the Pentagon has attempted to increase its forces in the region to ensure the security of troops departing, allegedly, by September. This includes requests for the deployment of an aircraft carrier in the region that could allow for swift air attacks on the Taliban if necessary. Voice of America independently reported Monday that the Pentagon had moved two B-52 bombers to Qatar meant to provide “air cover for the approximately 10,000 U.S. and NATO forces set to depart Afghanistan over the coming months.”

Voice of America quoted the Pentagon’s press secretary, John Kirby, telling reporters that the withdrawal from Afghanistan would occur only after a military buildup: “I think you can expect there will be an addition of posture in Afghanistan.”

Biden announced in mid-April that he would postpone America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan because “it’s time for American troops to come home,” leaving open the question of why he allowed the already established deadline for withdrawal to expire without pulling America’s remaining troops in the country out. Biden’s announcement was followed by effusive assurances from Secretary of State Antony Blinken that America would remain a prominent presence in Afghanistan after the troop withdrawal through civilian diplomatic efforts. Blinken visited Kabul and met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani the day after Biden’s announcement.

“The reason I’m here … is to demonstrate literally, by our presence, that we have an enduring and ongoing commitment to Afghanistan,” Blinken said at a press conference in the Afghan capital. “Even when our troops come home, our partnership with Afghanistan will continue.”

Last week, Blinken announced that Biden would invest “nearly $300 million” in American taxpayers’ dollars in the immediate future.

“As part of our commitment to invest in and support the Afghan people, we are working with Congress to provide nearly $300 million in additional civilian assistance for Afghanistan in 2021 from both the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development,” Blinken said on Twitter. “This assistance, which we announced at the quadrennial donors’ conference in November 2020 as potentially being available at a future date, is being made available now to demonstrate our enduring support for the Afghan people.”

The U.S., Blinken added, had designated the money for “improving access to essential services for Afghan citizens, fighting corruption and narcotics, promoting economic growth, improving health and educational services, supporting women’s empowerment, facilitating human rights, strengthening Afghan civil society and independent media.”

Adding to assurances that America would loom large in Afghanistan despite the withdrawal, the head of the Pentagon’s Central Command, Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr., told the House of Representatives last week that troops leaving Afghanistan may not “come home,” as Biden had suggested. As the U.S. would still need to engage in “counter-terrorism operations” in the country, negotiations were underway with neighboring countries to ensure an American troop presence there, he said, which would allow for “targeted raids” and other operations. Reports suggested following McKenzie’s remarks that Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan may be prime locations for an enhanced American military presence after September.

Afghanistan borders America’s greatest rival and national security threat, China.

McKenzie also stated last week that he believed it was possible for the Afghan military to collapse in its entirety without U.S. support.

“I am concerned about the ability of the Afghan military to hold on after we leave, the ability of the Afghan Air Force to fly, in particular, after we remove the support for those aircraft,” McKenzie told the Senate. “If we don’t provide them some support, they certainly will collapse.”

The delayed withdrawal has “encouraged armed and extremist groups in the region and world,” Afghanistan’s Tolo News reported Tuesday, citing Afghan “analysts.” One comment from an Afghan lawmaker, Mohammad Hassan Sharifi Balkhabi, speculated that suggesting an Afghan-style withdrawal anywhere else is “a serious threat and will have a negative consequence.”

The Taliban appears to have increased its attacks on Afghan security forces, though not against U.S. troops, since Biden announced he would remain in the country for an extra four months. Civilian attacks have also increased in frequency. One such attack killed at least 16 children at a religious ceremony on Monday.

Kamala Harris Defends Handling of Immigration: Migrant Surges Are ‘Not Going to Be Solved Overnight’

Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the ongoing surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border was “not going to be solved overnight.”

Harris said, “I come at this issue from the perspective that most people don’t want to leave home. They don’t want to leave the grandparents. They don’t want to leave the place where they grew up, when, you know, where they speak the language, where they know the culture, the place that is home. Most people don’t want to leave home, and when they do, it’s usually for one of two reasons. They’re fleeing some harm, or they cannot stay and satisfy the basic necessities of life, such as feeding their children and having a roof over their head. That is a big part of what is going on. So I look at the issue of what’s going on in the Northern Triangle from that perspective. Then my take on it is that we’ve got to understanding that, we have to give people some sense of hope that if they stay that help is on the way.”

She continued, “The kind of work that has to happen is the diplomatic work that we have been engaged in, including my calls to the president of Mexico, the president of Guatemala, and we have a plan to actually have another meeting coming up soon.”

Anchor Dana Bash said, “Are you going to go there?”

Harris said, “Yes, we’re working on the plan to get there. We have to deal with COVID issues, but I can’t get there soon enough in terms of personally getting there.”

She added, “This is the work that we’re doing, but it’s not going to be solved overnight. It’s a complex issue. If this were easy, it would have been handled years ago.”

Poll: 82% Think U.S. Is Divided, Despite Joe Biden’s Promise to Be a More Unifying President

Immigration in Biden’s First 100 Days: Swift Action, Harmful Consequences

Washington, D.C. (April 27, 2021) – Immigration was not central to the 2020 presidential campaign, so many voters likely did not focus on what Joe Biden would do regarding it as president. With the 100th day of his administration approaching on Friday, the Center for Immigration Studies has sought to fill that information gap by publishing a detailed review and analysis of immigration policy actions taken since January 20.   The new administration acted quickly to issue executive actions to repeal Trump policies, and on a lesser scale has introduced many new policies. The consequences of policy changes during Biden's first 100 days are most obvious in the border crisis, but the report also examines the changes in interior enforcement, legal immigration, rule of law, and national security.   Robert Law, the Center’s Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy and author of the report, said, “The crisis at the border, which was created by Biden’s policies beginning on Day 1, has received media coverage, but the situation in the interior of the country has not been widely reported. Although there is an injunction on Biden’s 100-day deportation freeze, new ICE guidelines exempt most illegal aliens from any enforcement and mean that there have been fewer deportations even of convicted criminals. Combined, our communities are less safe.”   Beyond the border loosening and the deportation freeze, a variety of other policies have also contributed to the harm done to the national interest in Biden's first 100 days, including: re-opening the pipeline of cheap foreign labor; cancelling measures to promote immigrant self-sufficiency; abrogating cooperative agreements with local law enforcement; stopping a nationwide ICE operation targeting criminal alien sex offenders subject to deportation; and resuming immigration from countries whose government cannot or will not cooperate with U.S. vetting procedures, among many others.   Law said he expects more to come: “As the 2022 midterm elections near, the Biden administration will likely be encouraged by its supporters to take sweeping executive action instead of waiting on Congress to act, especially on DACA and a general amnesty for the illegal alien population.” On immigration alone, Vanita Gupta will  be a disaster in the Justice department By Dale Wilcox As the Biden administration hits its 100-day milestone, it has become clear that one of the following statements must be true:  Either Joseph Robinette Biden blatantly lied to voters last fall when he portrayed himself as a common sense moderate, or Biden’s role in his own administration is little more than a hood ornament while fringe elements of his staff and party wield the actual power. Whichever one is true, the end result may be the most left-wing presidency in American history, particularly on the issue of immigration. This can only lead to extremely bad outcomes for the country. This extremism is evident in the appointments this administration has made to high-level department positions. Case in point is Vanita Gupta, who was recently confirmed by a razor-thin 51-49 Senate majority for the number-three spot at the Justice Department. Gupta’s radicalism is evident from her stints with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Obama Justice department under the leadership of the hyper-partisan Eric Holder. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave his assessment of Gupta at a recent hearing.     “Your record is one of an extreme partisan advocate,” Cruz said. “As I look at your record on every single issue, the positions you’ve advocated for are on the extreme left, and you’ve demonstrated an intolerance for and hostility to anyone who disagrees with the extreme left political position.” That record apparently raised no red flags for Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the lone Republican who crossed party lines to vote for Gupta. In her remarks on the Senate floor, Murkowski seemed to be either struck by naivete or suffering the effects of being in the D.C. swamp too long, saying “I am going to give the benefit of the doubt to a woman who I believe has demonstrated through her career to be deeply, deeply committed to matters of justice.” Gupta is indeed deeply, deeply committed, but not to a form of justice that most Americans would recognize. She was obviously coached to sound like a rational centrist in her hearings, but she cannot hide from her past. My organization, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), investigated Gupta’s past and discovered numerous writings and statements that contradict the image she has projected in hearings.   While Gupta was noncommittal when asked about sanctuary policies and the wisdom of refusing detainer requests on criminal aliens, she had much more critical thoughts on the subject of ICE cooperation when she published a blog in June 2017 that bemoaned a new law signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that effectively banned sanctuary cities across the state. The bill, S.B. 4 or otherwise known as the “sanctuary cities” bill, allows local law enforcement officials to be charged with a crime and removed from office for carrying out sanctuary policies, such as ignoring ICE detainer requests. Gupta called the new law an “unwise piece of legislation” in her blog post. In fact, she opposed it so much she submitted an affidavit in support of the ACLU’s lawsuit to block it – she failed to persuade the courts. In her affidavit, she claims that ICE cooperation, such as honoring detainers and coordinating with federal officials, should be mitigated as it allegedly erodes distrust between local jurisdictions and the non-citizen community (item 8 in affidavit). This argument is in direct contradiction to her Senate testimony. Similarly, Gupta avoided answering whether she supported abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a position currently en vogue on the far left. While Gupta has, to IRLI’s knowledge, never made a blanket call to abolish ICE, she has worked for years at institutions that not only oppose ICE’s work to enforce the country’s immigration laws but have specifically called for its abolition. From 2005 to 2021, she served as an advisory committee member for South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT). An IRLI review of SAALT’s Twitter account identified well over 50 (56 seen on Twitter search) instances in which SAALT tweeted out the hashtag “#AbolishICE”. IRLI was unable to locate any instance where Gupta condemned SAALT for these statements in the 16 years she was a part of the organization. Gupta has worked directly for an organization that is behind much of the current “Abolish ICE” movement. She worked as a consultant for the Open Society Institute from 2004 to 2006. The Open Society network, funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, has bankrolled numerous organizations that have publicly pushed for the termination of ICE. United We Dream, for example, has called for the agency to be abolished, and it has listed the Open Society Foundations as one of its funding partners. There are numerous other instances we found where Gupta staked out extreme anti-borders positions, like questioning the very idea that non-citizens should face deportation as a consequence for committing crimes. Does America, its citizens or legal residents benefit in any way from these policies? Absolutely not. Gupta and her fellow travelers seem concerned only with what America can do for foreign nationals, including those with criminal records. The president has the authority to nominate whoever he pleases for administration positions. However, the Senate serves as a necessary check on executive power to ensure said nominations serve the American people. Based on her resume, writings and statements, Vanita Gupta is a far-left radical whose philosophies and political agenda will do great harm to our country and its people. Lisa Murkowski will have a lot of explaining to do back home when the consequences of Gupta’s second run at the Justice Department become known.   Dale L.

Democrats Look to End Police Program Handing Criminal Illegal Aliens to ICE David Ryder/Getty Images JOHN BINDER 26 Apr 2021162 3:09 Democrat lawmakers are looking to have President Joe Biden’s administration end a local police program that successfully turns criminal illegal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for arrest and deportation. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) have sent a letter to Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, asking him to terminate the agency’s 287(g) agreements with local law enforcement agencies. The 287(g) program allows local law enforcement agencies to sign agreements with ICE to seamlessly identify criminal illegal aliens and turn them over to federal agents for arrest and deportation. The program is highly effective. In January, for example, local police in Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and South Carolina successfully helped turn criminal illegal aliens over to ICE agents. Some of the criminal illegal aliens arrested by local police and subsequently turned over to ICE agents included those charged with drug trafficking, child rape, domestic violence, carrying a firearm without a license, aggravated assault, and felony embezzlement. Booker, Quigley, and Jayapal, though, write that Mayorkas must “immediately terminate all existing 287(g) agreements,” claiming they “undermine public safety and result in the racial profiling and harassing of immigrant communities.” “We introduced the PROTECT Immigration Act, which would repeal Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act once and for all,” the letter continues: While it will take congressional action to repeal this provision of federal law, we strongly encourage DHS to terminate all existing 287(g) agreements immediately. This would represent a critical step in disentangling federal immigration enforcement from state and local law enforcement and improve the enforcement of our nation’s federal immigration laws. [Emphasis added] An elimination of 287(g) agreements would mean that law enforcement agencies in 26 states — including the statewide Department of Corrections in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts — would be kicked off the program, making it increasingly difficult to cooperate with ICE. Already, Biden has gutted a number of interior immigration enforcement operations that are resulting in the release of criminal illegal aliens back into American communities. With a series of “sanctuary country” orders, Biden is preventing about nine-in-ten deportations that have resulted in a 70 percent drop in the number of criminal illegal aliens in federal custody and an 80 percent reduction in arrests of illegal aliens.

The poll, released on the cusp of Biden’s first 100 days in office, revealed just more than a third, or 36 percent, say the country is headed in the “right direction.” Meanwhile, the vast majority of respondents, 82 percent, believe the country is divided. This comes amid Biden’s vow to unify the country with his presidency, making the theme central to his inaugural address in January. “To overcome these challenges — to restore the soul and to secure the future of America — requires more than words. It requires the most elusive of things in a democracy: unity. Unity,” Biden said during his January 20 address. Biden told the country his “whole soul” was “in this,” wholly devoted to “bringing America together,” “uniting our people,” and “uniting our nation.” “Uniting to fight the common foes we face: anger, resentment, hatred. Extremism, lawlessness, violence. Disease, joblessness, hopelessness. Biden continued: With unity we can do great things. Important things. We can right wrongs. We can put people to work in good jobs. We can teach our children in safe schools. We can overcome this deadly virus. We can reward work, rebuild the middle class and make healthcare secure for all. We can deliver racial justice. We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world. I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy. I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real. But I also know they are not new. Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear and demonization have long torn us apart. Notably, despite his call for unity, Biden demonized his fellow Americans in the same speech in which he lamented what he described as “the rise of political extremism, white supremacy, [and] domestic terrorism.” The 78-year-old president has failed to demonstrate unity in a variety of ways, even before taking office, as Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak extensively detailed. Biden’s term began with a second, divisive impeachment effort against former President Trump. All the while, he has seemingly continued to support “cancel culture” as members of the far-left continue to fan the flames of racial division. More recently, Biden failed to demonstrate unity after slamming states, particularly Georgia, for pursuing basic election integrity laws, calling them “un-American” and “sick” and likening them to the Jim Crow era. The survey, taken April 17-20 among 1,000 adults, has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.
