Editor’s note: Mexico and the United States are stepping up border-security coordination through Operation High Eagle, a binational effort focused on stopping criminal drones near Tijuana and San Diego. Acting on U.S.-shared intelligence, Mexico’s Army disabled a drone allegedly used to monitor human-trafficking routes and arrested its operator, who reportedly had a handgun, ammunition and the aircraft’s control system. The operation has disabled four drones so far and involves roughly 800 personnel operating on their respective sides of a five-kilometer border zone. Its use of information-sharing and anti-drone technology reflects closer cooperation while preserving each country’s authority within its own territory.
