“an operation in which ATF agents allowed assault weapons to be purchased in the United States and “walked” across the southern border and into the hands of Mexican drug cartels”

Can someone please tell me why ATF agents would do this? Were they selling the weapons to the cartel?

Suposedly so they could catch “bigger fish”. Or it could be they wanted to support their claim that all these guns are flooding across the border.
