No reason for a wall. None whatsoever.
Drug cartels put hit squads in Laredo
The scrawny young man at the defense table was only 17, and had only a peach-fuzz mustache in his mugshot. But authorities say he was already a seasoned assassin in the U.S. for some of Mexico’s drug lords…Mexican drug lords locked in a bloody fight for control of a pipeline that runs from Mexico to Dallas and up through middle America have brazenly stationed hit squads and reconnaissance teams in Laredo.
In the past two years, rival cartels have killed at least seven people in Laredo, including a victim stalked and killed near his job site and a man gunned down in the parking lot of a popular restaurant, U.S. authorities say.
Is this prosecution state or federal? If state, the feds might be able to come in with a bunch of the usual federal surplus charges and put this dude away for a really long time. All it would take is leadership at the top.
No coincidence that the Chief Border Patrol agent for Laredo is Carlos Carrillo, who recently declared catching illegal aliens and drug dealers isn’t the mission of the border patrol. The next AG can investigate Carrillo and the Laredo sector along with Johnny Sutton at the same time. And thanks to Tammy, love the photo of Bush/Fox with that flag!
