WASHINGTON — A law enforcement bulletin is warning that Mexican drug cartel members have talked about killing U.S. law enforcement agents on the American side of the border, the Associated Press reported.
AP reported that Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas said Thursday that the gangsters were overheard talking about killing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Texas Rangers.
AP reported that the plot involved Mexican using AK-47 assault rifles to shoot from Mexico into the U.S. In February, ICE agent Jaime Zapata was shot to death and another agent he was with was wounded in Mexico.
