A former DEA official claimed that alleged cartel bounties on Department of Homeland Security officials are false and would seek to justify the deployment of more U.S. army forces in the streets.
Speaking to Infobae, Mike Vigil, former top DEA official, said "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. It's absurd that cartels are focusing on them because many agencies in the U.S., including the DEA, are only focused in migrants," he added.
