Part 2/12:
According to a recent DHS bulletin, cartel operatives have been distributing messages via encrypted social media channels, outlining a tiered payment system that rewards everything from tracking agents to killing them outright. The highest known bounty, reaching $50,000, is offered for confirmed assassinations, prompting heightened security measures for ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Chicago. Authorities have responded swiftly, advising agents to change routines, vary their commutes, and limit identifiable markings on personal vehicles to evade potential surveillance or targeted attacks.
