I wonder if it really was the “drug cartels”? If I understand correctly, our two ICE agents were meeting with Mexican government officials, and were later stopped by someone who appeared to be military, and who knew when and where to ambush our agents. They also apparently knew how to identify said agents - as in what they looked like and what they were driving. Doesn’t sound like happenstance to me.

THAT is the problem in Mexico, and increasingly in the USA...the Mexican government/law enforcement IS the cartels...bought and paid for. Any $ we send down there (billion and 1/2 last year) goes right to the bad guys.
