Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced Monday he is surging state troopers to the border and across Texas to counter escalating cartel violence that has exploded following the assassination of a major drug kingpin in Mexico.

The decisive action comes as cartel warfare reaches dangerous new levels, threatening to spill over into American communities. While the Biden administration spent four years ignoring the border crisis, Abbott continues stepping up where the federal government has failed patriots living on the front lines.

"Texas will not tolerate cartel violence threatening our communities," Abbott declared as he mobilized additional Department of Public Safety resources. The governor's rapid response stands in stark contrast to the weakness we saw from Washington during the dark Biden years.

Cartels Unleash Hell After Power Vacuum

The killing of the high-ranking cartel leader has triggered a brutal power struggle among competing drug organizations, with violence escalating rapidly across northern Mexico. Intelligence sources report multiple firefights, executions, and territorial battles as criminal organizations fight for control of lucrative smuggling routes.

This is exactly what happens when you have weak border policies – cartels grow bold, violence increases, and American families pay the price. Thank God we have leaders like Abbott who actually care about protecting their people instead of pandering to the radical left's open border agenda.

"Texans deserve to feel safe in their own communities, and we will use every resource available to ensure cartel violence stays where it belongs – far away from law-abiding Americans,"

The surge comes as President Trump's administration ramps up its own border security initiatives, finally bringing the leadership and backbone that was missing for four long years under the failed Biden regime.

While mainstream media downplays cartel threats, Abbott understands what's really at stake. These aren't just "migrants seeking a better life" – these are dangerous criminal organizations that traffic drugs, weapons, and humans while terrorizing communities on both sides of the border.

How many more Americans will have to suffer before every governor follows Abbott's example and puts public safety above political correctness?

My brother works border patrol and he's been saying for months that cartel activity has been ramping up. Does anyone know which cartel lost their kingpin?

This is what happens when you have weak border policies. The cartels see opportunity in chaos and now innocent people on both sides pay the price.

Exactly right. When there's no deterrent, they get bolder and more violent.

Thank God for Texas leadership stepping up where DC has failed us completely.

About time! I live 30 miles from the border and we've been hearing gunfire at night for weeks.

Finally! Abbott is doing what needs to be done while the federal government sits on their hands. This is exactly why we need strong state leadership.

100% agree. Texas shouldn't have to handle this alone but at least someone is taking action.
