| "Texas Rangers, ICE Agents to be Killed", Mexican Drug Cartels |
| 2011-03-31 |
| BROWNSVILLE -- A new law enforcement bulletin warns that members of drug cartels have been overheard plotting to kill federal agents and Texas Rangers who guard the border, officials in Washington reported Thursday. The bulletin, which was issued in March, said cartel members planned to use AK-47 assault rifles to shoot agents and Rangers from across the border. It did not name the cartels. The information was released at a hearing before a panel of the House Committee on Homeland Security. The Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Management addressed "The U.S. Homeland Security Role in the Mexican War Against the Drug Cartels." U.S. Rep. Michael T. McCaul, R-Texas, talked briefly about the bulletin at the hearing. He said this and other findings he cited "are acts of terrorism as defined by law. The shooting of Special Agent Zapata and Avila is a game changer, which alters the landscape of United State's involvement in Mexico's war against drug cartels." He was referring to Jaime Jorge Zapata, 32, a Brownsville native and special agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who was killed on Feb. 15 while on duty in Mexico. Injured in the same attack was Special Agent Victor Avila. Members of the Zetas criminal organization are suspected in the attack. In response to the attack, ICE has brought back its agents from Mexico for additional training, Alvarez said. "We have provided them with some defensive driving tactics so they can carry out their mission and be prepared for whatever they are going to withstand down in Mexico," he said. I am sure arms provided by Holder and Obama via the ATF to the Drug Cartels will be in play as well. However, Obama said the agent in Mexico will not be armed. If this happens, prison time for Obama and Holder is a serious option. And the Texas Rangers should arrest them if they ever set foot in Texas again if more US Law Enforcement deaths occur. |

| #1 I wouldn't mess with the Texas Rangers. It's not the same thing as messing with ICE or local sheriff's. They will hunt you down and fuck up your day. |
