Anne Milgram, director of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of United States of Americaexpressed that the cooperation with Mexico against him drug trafficking It is insufficient and uneven.
The media Latinus published some videos where you can see Milgram appearing this Tuesday before congressmen of the USA, answering questions on the topic of struggle against him drug trafficking in relation to the Government of Mexico.
Milgram noted that there have been some extraditions (from Mexico) and have seen the Mexican authorities destroy some laboratories“but there is a lot of work to do.”
He also reproached the slowness of the Mexican government (headed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador) to issue visas to the DEA agents to be able to work in Mexico against the drug trafficking.
“We have been waiting eight months for a visa and we know the cost that means for us in terms of our ability to work,” he lamented, in his appearance in the US Lower House.
Milgram highlighted the work carried out by the men and women of the DEA in 69 countries against the drug traffickerswhich is hard work, but they work tirelessly.
He added that they hope that the Mexican government releases the 13 visas that are expected, one of which has been pending for about 8 months.
A congressman asked Milgram if she is satisfied with the US-Mexico relationship on this issue (fight against drugs), and she replied that “there is much more work to be done urgently to stop this menace” (from drugs, such as fentanyl).
From the FBI
Last AprilChristopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the USA, pointed out that “we need the mexican government do more” in the fight against drug trafficking.
“(Mexico’s work against drug trafficking) is inconsistent,” he noted, during an appearance at the Capitol (before congressmen).
“This is such a big problem. We need consistent, sustained and scalable assistance from them (the Mexicans),” he said. “We just need a lot more.”
