Texas Border Patrol Finally Gets THIS And The Mexican Cartel Is Scared For Their Lives According to recent reports, a Customs and Border Protection helicopter was shot down on the Mexican side of the border this month. Of course, we heard little of it in the mainstream media. A story like this wouldnt fit their political agenda. Now, the CBP is getting the machinery they need to help protect America from dangerous Mexican Cartels. Thank goodness for Blackhawk helicopters. According to reports, the CBP helicopter was shot down on June 5th in the middle of a drug bust. US Border Patrol agents were attempting to intercept a drug load, one Border Patrol officer told reporters. A law enforcement chopper was assisting Border Patrol agents. The chopper received gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. The chopper had to do an emergency landing. Our lives are at great risk and political forces often attempt to portray the border areas as safe and okay, Garza concluded. Clearly, that is not the case.
