FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers at a June 11 hearing that the agency has noted “quite a number” of instances of individuals deeply indebted to Mexican criminal organizations entering the United States, stating that there’s “no question” that cartel activity is “spilling over” the border.
Wray made the remarks at a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, in response to a question by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), who asked about the link between cartel activity and the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border.
