I'll take the five million dollars, please.

Looks like the USA is more anxious to bring the killing of an American to justice, than to bring an end to narcoterrorism that has nearly destroyed an entire nation.

"Zapata and Avila were ambushed in Mexico on February 15 while traveling in their U.S. government-issued vehicle from the state of San Luis Potosi to Mexico City."

Why did he take an ICE vehicle with him to Mexico City? Jaime Zapata should have travelled undercover to that city. What was he doing there? Visiting relatives?

You think an ICE vehicle has USA USA USA printed all over it or something? ICE vehicles in the US are usually unmarked police squad type cars and cargo vans.

He was working for ICE.

I think it's a good question. Why are they far from the border itself? ICE is not making any attempt to control who and what comes over the border, so why are they that far into the interior?

If it were really about stopping drugs, illegals, and shutting down organized crime rings, they could do that at the actual border itself.

And why give $5 million to someone connected with organized crime? The only people who would know are obviously the cartel insiders.

Why not just get some control over the border and stop the expensive games?

I really don't got it, some days after the murder, Mexican government presents a groups of Z's and said they were the ones that kill agent Zapata, and now US and MX gov. offer a reward? Then the Z's weren't guilty?

Now about ICE agents, I guess they were really FBI, DEA or CIA agents uncover with other agencies credentials, they were in a Suburban with 5X shield, and travel by road from Mexico City to Laredo Tx, this is another thing i just don't got it, why? If there are many flights from Mexico to anywhere?
