Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that military action against Mexican cartels targeting Americans at the southern border is a possibility. During an interview with Fox News, Hegseth emphasized that all military options are available to combat designated foreign terrorist organizations affecting U.S. security. He highlighted a shift in military focus towards homeland defense and ensuring border security, while affirming that President Trump will ultimately decide on any operations undertaken against cartel activities within Mexico.
If we're dealing with what are designated to be foreign terrorist organizations who are specifically targeting Americans on our border, all options will be on the table.
The military is shifting towards an understanding of homeland defense on our sovereign territorial border, and we will do that robustly.
