Calexico-Mexicali: Welcome Terrorists

A “low risk” threat attempts to import 9 tons of marijuana; security experts said it could have been 9 tons of nuclear bomb material.

If this story would have been published anywhere but the IV Press, it would have ruffled some coats. There was almost an indifference by U.S. agencies regarding this incident. I spoke to one of the authorities that I cited three days after this story got published and she hadn’t read the story. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not appear to be leveling with me (no surprise here) on how the investigation is going. They told me it was a “concern” but I learned they hadn’t even asked for the guy’s personnel file. I intend to keep pestering them about the investigation.
