CIA flying spy drones ''well into Mexico'' as part of Trump crackdown on deadly drug cartels
|
[NYPOST] The CIA has sent drones on secret missions over Mexico to spy on narco mobs — and may use them for armed strikes, according to former and current officials.
Some secret — unless they want the cartels to know they’re being hunted. | The covert missions, carried out with MQ-9 Reaper drones, are sizing up the narco gangs and their laboratories over the southern US border as a possible precursor to trying to eliminate them by air, sources told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network , now who know what it might stand for...
The drone flights, which were begun under the Biden administration but previously unreported, go ''well into sovereign Mexico,'' a US official told the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
’'Countering narco mobs in Mexico and regionally is a priority for the CIA as a part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to end the grave threat from narco-trafficking,'' a CIA rep said, according to CNN. ''Director [John] Ratcliffe is determined to put the CIA's unique expertise to work against this multi-faceted challenge.''
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been conducting surveillance flights with drones over Mexico in partnership with the U.S. neighbor to the south, to gather intelligence on cartels and fentanyl laboratories, according to a senior U.S. official.
The Biden administration authorized the use of MQ9 Reaper drones, which the official said are not armed and "not lethal," over Mexico to focus on locating fentanyl labs and cartels.
President Donald Trump’s administration continued the program, which is being done in coordination with the Mexican government.
The intelligence is shared with the Mexican government, which in turn has the authority to act on shutting down any illegal activities associated with the cartels and labs.
"This is not the Pakistan model," a senior U.S. official told Fox News. "It is being done in partnership with the Mexican government."
