“When I returned to Laredo in 1975 to practice law, the drug war was going strong. In fact, my very first trial was in federal district court. The federal judge in Laredo assigned me to represent an indigent man who was being accused of having conspired to possess and distribute cocaine. He was facing a 15-year prison sentence. He claimed to be innocent. As I watched the young FBI agent Lawson on Cowboy Cartels, I couldn’t help but think back to the DEA agents who were doing the same thing that Lawson was doing when I returned to Laredo in 1975. Most of them were about the same age as I was and that Lawson is — late 20s and early 30s. Like Lawson, they were extremely dedicated. Like Lawson, they were doing their part to win the war on drugs.” (12/10/24)
