Abbott urges Texans to ‘stay alert’ amid chaos between US, Mexican drug cartels
Governor Abbott ordered a surge of Texas Department of Public Safety units to prevent cartel violence spillover after 25 Mexican National Guard troops died in clashes, officials said.
- On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to ramp up public safety and security operations along the southern border, expanding law enforcement to prevent spillover threats.
- Mexico's military operation that killed Nemesio `El Mencho` Oseguera Cervantes sparked violent reprisals with roadblocks and a U.S. embassy security alert urging calm.
- DPS will deploy specialized units including Texas Highway Patrol troopers, Texas Rangers, Criminal Investigations Division officers, and Special Operations Group members while increasing Tactical Marine Unit and Aircraft Operations Division surveillance with 24/7 Texas Fusion Center and Homeland Security Division monitoring.
- Officials warned and asked Texans to keep the U.S. Department of State emergency line and Texas Fusion Center on speed dial while DPS coordinates with the federal government, with Abbott saying, `Mexican drug cartels pose a significant threat to public safety and national security.`
- The response fits into Operation Lone Star's long-running strategy, which uses state resources to police the border and will likely keep a heavy presence in South Texas until the dust settles in Mexico.
