Dallas News Calls Out Judiciary Committee Over Rogue Informant
The Dallas Morning News takes Sen. John Cornyn and the Senate Judiciary Committee to task for dragging their feet in this rather remarkable investigation. You have to read the details -- it's up there in the "you can't make this stuff up" department.
It's been two years since Dallas Morning News reporter Alfredo Corchado first reported that officials in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in El Paso knew their paid informant was doing more than helping them crack a Mexican drug cartel. While on ICE's payroll, Guillermo Eduardo RamÃrez Peyro, a.k.a. Lalo, was also orchestrating cartel-ordered assassinations, which he referred to as carne asadas, or barbecues. One of those victims was a U.S. citizen.
