Summary

Our government doesn’t like inconvenient survivors of their botched-up operations leading to the death of agents. Today, Victor Avila is back on the show for part 2 of his story on how the government left him high and dry after he was almost killed in a cartel attack that left a federal agent in Mexico dead for the first time since 1985. Victor gives us the shocking details of the trial and how the government didn’t even want to go for life in prison for the Zeta assassins. The same guns that government sold to cartels that led to the death of border agent Brian Terry were used in the killing of Jaime Zapata. Finally, Victor and I discuss how his tragedy reverberates today throughout immigration agencies and how our agents are in danger more than ever before.  Show links    Look how many criminal aliens are turned loose in just one county Part 1 of interview with Victor Avila  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.
