Ep 425 | The Story of the ICE Agent Who Survived the 'Mexico Benghazi'

We are joined by Victor Avila, the ICE special agent who survived the attack by the Zetas cartel on February 15, 2011, while his partner, Jaime Zapata, was killed in the line of duty. He recounts the riveting details of the attack. His story leaves many disturbing and unanswered questions about our government’s conduct before, during, and after the incident. Rather than being treated like a hero, Avila was pushed out into early retirement, was never debriefed, and was viewed as expendable. This very much resembles Benghazi in certain respects.  

This is part one of the story. In a subsequent episode, we'll further discuss the story of Avila after the attack and why it still matters to this day.
