“the ATF had no means of tracking the weapons after they left the country”
Actually you are wrong. The guns were in fact traced to numerous death including a border patrol agent.
If no trace ability was part of this operation. Then in fact MX”s calls for the agents to be extradited for this crime are resonable.
Im correct actually. They had no means or process(es) in place to trace the guns once they left the country. In other words once they left the US the ATF had no idea who had them or where they went. This is a known fact. Once a crime was committed w/ them in Mex they only happened upon them randomly, by chance. Remember the Mex govt wasn’t cooperating b/c they weren’t in the loop. The only reason we know a F&F gun killed a BP agent was b/c the ATF/FBI et al became involved officially. If the dead guy were a Mex then our LE wouldn’t have been (usually) involved and hence a trace probably wouldn’t have been done.
