During a recent Senate hearing, DEA Agent Matthew W. Allen outlined the significant risks posed by Mexican drug cartels, particularly the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He reported that cartel members have been surveilling DEA agents and witnesses, exemplified during the trial of cartel member El Menchito. Allen emphasized the immediate danger to law enforcement, noting violent repercussions for informants' families and the need for precautionary actions by agents when conducting operations. His comments highlight the ongoing and complex threat these criminal organizations present within the U.S.
"This is how Special Agent Matthew W. Allen of the DEA explained it when he was asked about the risk posed by Mexican criminal organizations in the United States."
"Allen asserts that these activities are frequent, and that his agents notice they are being spied on when they go out to execute a search or arrest warrant."
