Drone footage of cartel warfare is 'indicative' of danger still present at border, says Rep. Chip Roy
A group of suspected Mexican cartel members fired shots at U.S. Border Patrol agents on Monday afternoon as a group of migrants attempted to cross the Rio Grande. After drone video footage surfaced of an apparent cartel-on-cartel gunfight just south of the U.S. border with Mexico, Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas is calling attention to the danger still present at the border. The footage, which Roy obtained from sources on the border, was taken by a cartel drone and shows two sets of vehicles exchanging gunfire near the U.S. border. Video taken by the drone shows the operator eventually drop some type of missile, seeming to eliminate shooters on one side. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Roy said that the knowledge that cartels own drones with weapon capabilities "open[s] up a whole other frontier that we've got to manage and deal with border security."
