DHS and DOJ Join Forces on Immigration Agent Killing
The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice are forming a joint task force to find the assailants who killed a U.S. immigration agent and injured another while the two officials were driving in Mexico earlier this week.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the task force in a statement released after her meeting with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss the incident. "This joint task force reflects our commitment to bring the investigatory and prosecutorial power of the U.S. Government to bear as we work with the Mexican Government to bring these criminals to justice," said Napolitano in the statement.
