Border Violence in FY2025 is continuing at a pace that is hard to ignore, with US Border Patrol recording 2,475 assaults on agents along the southwest border in FY2023, a 25% jump from FY2022. At the same time, cartel activity is showing up in quantified waves near the Jalisco and Tamaulipas corridors, including 1,234 firefight incidents and 2,800 cartel firearms seized at the border in FY2023. Together, these figures force a sharper question than “what is happening” and instead track how violence spreads through people, weapons, and territory.
