This conflict brought the attention of federal authorities on both sides of the border.

Now it&#8217;s a magnet for the cartel for human smuggling &#8212; and the gangs were fighting for control.<\/p>\n<p>CBP&#8217;s warning comes as Republicans are pushing for increased border safety measures to be included in President Biden&#8217;s $106 billion aid package for Israel and Ukraine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox Business has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/fox-news-us\/10-ieds-found-us-mexico-border-cartel-gunfight\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cartels were involved in a gunfight to control access to a gap along the southern border. &hellip; <a title=\"Mexican military captures 10 IEDs at US-Mexico border\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150989\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mexican military captures 10 IEDs at US-Mexico border<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,387],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-illegal-immigrants","category-international-affairs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
