Former DEA Agent Claims Cartel Bounties On DHS Agents Are Fake: 'Absolutely Absurd'

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 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, former top DEA official, the idea of cartels focusing on DHS agents is unfounded, as U.S. agencies, including the DEA, are primarily focused on migrants. He also noted that this is the first time there have been accusations of threats from cartels against federal agents in the U.S.
