Kristi Noem Warns of Unprecedented Threats Against Federal Agents: “There Are Prices on Their Heads”

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem raised alarm bells by revealing that several U.S. federal agents have been the target of direct threats from gangs, drug cartels, and international terrorist organizations. According to the official, these criminal groups have even offered bounties on the agents' heads, a situation she described as “unprecedented” in terms of national security.

During an interview broadcast on Fox & Friends Weekend, Noem explained that the magnitude and coordination of these threats demonstrate a level of criminal organization never seen before. “We are facing a completely new scenario. Gangs, cartels, and certain extremist groups are collaborating and employing tactics typical of terrorist organizations to intimidate our law enforcement agencies,” she stated.

The secretary warned that these actions not only seek to destabilize the operations of federal agencies, but also to generate fear among agents who daily confront organized crime at the border and within the country. "Our officers are being threatened for carrying out their duties. This is a direct attack on those who protect the safety of American citizens," she added.

Noem emphasized the need to strengthen protective measures for agents and improve coordination between different federal and state agencies. She also stressed that the government is working to identify the sources of funding and communication channels used by these criminal organizations to plan their attacks and spread threats.

The revelation has raised concerns among security experts and lawmakers, who agree that this type of intimidation represents a growing risk to the stability and operational capacity of the institutions responsible for national security. Some analysts have suggested that transnational violence and the strengthening of cartels could be behind the rise in these threats.

"This is a form of psychological warfare against the state," commented a security specialist consulted by local media. "When federal agents know there is a price on their heads, it affects morale, effectiveness, and the willingness to act in high-risk operations."

Noem concluded her remarks by reiterating the Department of Homeland Security's commitment to the protection of all federal agents and the defense of the country against internal and external threats. "We will not allow organized crime or terrorism to dictate the rules. We will defend our people and our nation," she stated.
