Former DEA Agent Dismisses Cartel Bounties on DHS Agents as "Absolutely Absurd"
A former DEA official has come forward to claim that alleged cartel bounties on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials are false.
"the statement is not true... It is absolutely absurd because neither ICE nor CBP are a threat to cartels, and if they took action against them they would be in trouble."
According to Mike Vigil, a former top DEA official, the idea of cartels targeting DHS agents is unfounded. He believes that the focus of U.S. agencies, including the DEA, is on migrants, not cartels.
- The former DEA official argues that cartels would not threaten U.S. federal agents.
- This is reportedly the first time there have been accusations of threats from cartels against federal agents in the U.S.
Vigil reiterated his belief that the alleged threats are fake, citing a lack of evidence and logic behind the claims.
