It took threat of tariffs to bring justice to DEA’s Kiki Camarena 40 years after his murder, drug expert says
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The extradition from Mexico of 29 drug suspects on Thursday had a special meaning for the family of an American hero, former U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte says.
That’s because one of the individuals walking off the deportation flight was Rafael Caro Quintero. He was the man who allegedly ordered the abduction, torture and murder of former Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in Guadalajara in 1985, Almonte said.
