“Camarena was killed in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1985. At the time, he was a DEA agent living and operating in Mexico. In other words, he and other DEA agents were doing precisely what Trump wants to do today. They were waging war against the Guadalajara Cartel in an effort to stop the flow of massive amounts of marijuana into the United States. … That’s the principal motivating factor that caused them to kidnap, torture, and execute him. Except for one thing: Cartel leaders are ordinarily not dumb people. They had to know that retaliating against a single DEA agent would accomplish nothing and, in fact, would likely bring the entire wrath of the U.S. drug-war bureaucracy down on their heads. And that is precisely what happened.” (03/07/25)
