Mexico: The War on Drugs and Colluding DEA Agents

FRIDAY, MAY 8
PROGRAM #11134 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

Despite the dominant narrative of a “war on drugs,” DEA agents are colluding with drug cartels in the countries where they operate, embedded in a “culture of structural corruption,” as revealed by thousands of secret police documents examined by the Associated Press. What is being done to confront this culture? Meanwhile, the United States has charged the governor of a Mexican state and other officials with aiding accused drug traffickers. Mexico is demanding “irrefutable evidence” before moving forward with extradition requests. Analysts weigh in on these and other news stories.
