Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Newsmax that international drug cartels are “increasingly desperate.”

McLaughlin told “National Report” on Tuesday that direct attacks against border security agents and law enforcement officers are increasing.

“We are noticing that these cartels are getting increasingly desperate,” she said. “We’ve seen assaults on our law enforcement officers and ICE enforcement officers up 300%. And that is a direct correlation of the desperation.”
