What is the CIA's secret drone program in Mexico and when did it begin?

The CIA's previously undisclosed secret drone program over Mexico began under the Biden administration to combat drug cartels. While initiated by Biden, the program has gained new momentum under Trump, whose administration has promised more aggressive action against Mexican cartels. The drone surveillance represents a significant escalation in cross-border drug enforcement strategy. As part of this intensified approach, increasing drone flights was implemented as the first quick step in Trump's promised crackdown on cartel activities, signaling a more assertive U.S. stance on Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
