FBI director says Mexico needs to help US in stopping fentanyl crisis
FBI director Christopher Wray bemoaned the “uneven” support Mexico has given US law enforcement to help prevent dangerous cartels and deadly drugs from entering the country. NY Post Politics Reporter Ryan King shares this story.
Wray testified on Thursday before a House Appropriations subcommittee where he pleaded for more cooperation on various issues, saying the US needs “much, much more” help from south of the border.
“I would say it’s very uneven. We’ve had some instances where we’ve had a key arrest and extradition … we’re starting to work with vetted teams down there,” Wray said. “But we need much, much more than we’re getting from the Mexican government.”
Wray contended that the bureau needs Mexico to start cracking down against the cartels, shuttering the labs where drugs are produced, and rooting out the precursor chemicals used for creating fentanyl.
