Hikers Shot & Robbed by Suspected Cartel Members Near Mexican Border in Jacumba, California

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

From a CBP Press Release


A U.S. citizen and a Canadian citizen were robbed and attacked by armed suspected Mexican cartel terrorists, in the Jacumba Wilderness.

On Wednesday at approximately 11:00AM., El Centro Sector Communications received a call from the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office 911 Dispatch with information a man had been shot and needed assistance in the El Centro Sector area of responsibility. 

U.S. Border Patrol agents were dispatched to an area of the Jacumba Wilderness approximately 1,000 feet north of the U.S.-Mexico International Border, where they encountered a group of hikers who reported part of their group had been attacked by armed individuals.



Two of the hikers, one U.S. citizen and one Canadian citizen, were approached by two armed individuals and were commanded to come toward the armed men. When the hikers refused to follow the armed subjects’ commands, the assailants fired a volley of shots toward the hikers, striking one victim in the leg. The assailants advanced on the downed hiker and his Canadian companion, robbing them of their cell phones and backpacks.

At 12:08 p.m. Mountain Disrupt Unit, Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), and Border Patrol Search Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) agents infiltrated to the area, locating the injured victim and stabilizing him. Agents created a protective perimeter and extracted the victim via CBP Air and Marine Operations San Diego. The victim was transferred to Reach Air Ambulance and flown to Sharp Medical Center in San Diego for treatment.

BORTAC and BORSTAR agents maintained a secure perimeter and tracked the assailants back to the border where they returned to Mexico

“The wounded hiker is an ‘I told you so moment’ highlighting the importance of adequate infrastructure the Border Patrol has been championing for years now,” said El Centro Sector Chief Gregory Bovino.

“Suspected cartel terrorists, however, are fixing to learn this type of conduct will be an end game type of activity here in the Premier Sector. All threats, anywhere, or at any time throughout this sector will be addressed vigorously.”

  2. I know the writers are spread thin with all that's going on, but it would be amazing to see an investigative piece regarding the increased use of explosives by cartels and what this could mean in the near future as cartels become more desperate to maintain their territory by using "newer" technology like drones to drop explosives:

    6. 2:10 PM I am curious would the cartels bow down to almighty trump once he starts attacking them or would they start an insurgency in America with random shootings daily. Since money is the drive behind Mexican cartels I doubt it. If they were more ideologically motivated it could happen but again money is the thing that drives them.

  7. If this is not reason enough to go after these terrorists with the full might of the U.S military then what is? The past four years these scumbags have gotten away with so much during sleepy Joe administration and AMLO. They are brazen enough to walk over to the U.S side without any obstacles and rob shoot two of our citizens and then calmly walk back to Mexico. We might be able to track them with the stolen cell phones if they had Google cloud gps active. A missile strike to that GPS location would be awsome. Enough of this crap! Nuff Said!!!

    1. All the Cartel Cheerleaders here must want to catch a bullet in their eyeball like ol lil homie on Roswell Road. Maybe some Z's cut into your chests.

      You do realize that this is not a game. You will dies if you fuck around or step out of line. The full force of the USA and its military, its Pentagon, its NSA, its elite cyber forces, and its allies with real powers and intelligence centers globally are not dissecting every inch of the cartel in every corner of the Earth. There is World War 3 happening right now. If you are a young chicken shitforbrains, you will not know how we do it around here. Watch and learn pendejo.

      Thank you Mr. President Trump! Viva Mexico!

    2. How is that: are you relying on inaccurate statistics originally released by the CDC about the origins of the opioid epidemic? It turns out they weren't accounting for illegal fentanyl in the calculations. Once corrected, the CDC data shows that Big Pharma did not cause the opioid crisis.

      The Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, and other cartel mafias created the crisis with the help of Chinese and Indian suppliers of chemical precursors and raw products.

      Illicit drugs caused the crisis not over prescription from doctors, pharmacies, and drug manufacturers although there is clearly evidence of a cover-up and unethical behaviors.

  15. Were they wearing their Cartel badges? How are these not just good old fashioned Banditos? Cartel would not bother going up to rob hikers north of the border for their wallets and camel backs. That's just ignorant of the reality of what the cartel is and isn't.
