Escalation in the War on Drugs: U.S. CIA Operates Covert Drone Missions in Mexico
The ongoing battle against drug cartels has reached a new, highly covert phase under the Trump administration. Reports indicate that the CIA has begun flying unarmed MQ-9 Reaper drones deep into Mexican territory, marking a significant escalation in U.S. efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking. These drone flights, previously undisclosed, are carried out without the explicit knowledge or coordination with the Mexican government, signaling a potential shift towards more aggressive, military-style tactics in the war on drugs.
