The CIA is conducting surveillance drone flights over Mexico to target fentanyl labs operated by Mexican cartels designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations by President Trump. The MQ-9 Reaper drones, which can be armed, are currently unarmed. The flights began under the Biden administration but were escalated under CIA Director John Ratcliffe. The State Department plans to officially designate certain cartel factions as Foreign Terrorist Organizations on February 19. Mexico has denied the overflights, though the CIA shares intelligence with Mexican officials.
