2019-05-28

  • Six of the suspects were Honduran nationals who were part of a group known as 'halcones', a Spanish term for spies

  • The suspects worked for a cartel and also provided logistics for human traffickers that operated along the southern border

  • Agents also uncovered and destroyed a poppy field, and seized 250 pounds of drugs, long-range weapons and tactical communication systems

#3  FBI or ATF? Or a "crossfire" multi agency operation?

#2  The action took place near Nogales. Mexico's Nogales, formerly a great border city loved by tourists, is now dead. The cartels destroy everything they touch.
