The March 31 deadline has passed without any confirmed reports from DHS, CBP, or DoD of U.S. forces downing a Mexican cartel drone, driving trader consensus to 100% on "No" as the implied probability. Heightened border security concerns peaked in February with El Paso airspace closures amid suspected cartel drone incursions, prompting laser system deployments like AeroVironment's LOCUST—but these targeted party balloons or even CBP-operated drones in mistaken friendly-fire incidents, not verified cartel aircraft. Ongoing cartel drone surveillance and weaponization in Mexico continue, yet no qualifying U.S. shootdown materialized by resolution, underscoring procedural hurdles and lack of official attributions. Late-breaking confirmations remain improbable given public reporting timelines.
