In a stunning display of federal agency dysfunction, the Pentagon has reportedly shot down a U.S. Customs and Border Protection drone operating near the Texas-Mexico border, leading to immediate airspace restrictions and raising serious questions about coordination within the Trump administration's border security operations.

The incident, which occurred as President Trump's mass deportation efforts intensify along the southern border, has sparked immediate criticism about communication breakdowns between federal agencies that should be working hand-in-hand to secure America's borders.

The FAA quickly moved to restrict Texas airspace following the friendly fire incident, but patriots are asking the obvious question: How does the Pentagon not know about CBP drone operations when both agencies are supposed to be supporting Trump's border security mission?

Deep State Sabotage or Bureaucratic Incompetence?

This explosive incident comes at the worst possible time for the Trump-Vance administration's ambitious deportation agenda. With Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem working around the clock to coordinate border operations, the last thing our border agents need is the Pentagon shooting down their own surveillance equipment.

"This is exactly the kind of administrative state chaos that DOGE was created to fix," one source close to the administration told reporters. "We have agencies literally fighting each other while cartels and illegal immigrants exploit our southern border."

The timing couldn't be more suspicious - just as Trump's deportation operations are gaining momentum, suddenly our own military is taking out border surveillance assets?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has yet to comment publicly on the incident, but insiders suggest heads are going to roll over this massive coordination failure. The American people deserve answers about how a routine CBP drone operation turned into a target practice session for Pentagon weapons systems.

With Texas airspace now restricted and border operations potentially compromised, this incident highlights the urgent need for Trump's government efficiency reforms. How many more "friendly fire" incidents will it take before the deep state bureaucrats start following orders from the Commander-in-Chief?

I live 20 miles from the border and see the chaos firsthand every day. Now they're shooting down the very drones that could help us monitor what's coming through? This administration has completely lost its mind.

Same here, neighbor. The hypocrisy is mind-blowing when they spend billions on Ukraine's border but sabotage our own.

Wait, I'm confused about the chain of command here. Who exactly authorized the Pentagon to shoot down state border protection assets? This seems like a massive overreach of federal power.

This is absolutely outrageous! Our own military is now working AGAINST border security while we have an invasion happening at our southern border. What kind of backwards world are we living in?

It's like they WANT the border to stay wide open. Makes you wonder who's really calling the shots.
