“A former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Investigator has been accused of running guns to Mexico, and the ATF has been accused of trying to cover it up.
Jose Luis Meneses, a Mexican national, was hired by the ATF as an investigator working out of the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana. His job was to help the ATF stop gun running from the United States to Mexico, but instead of trying to solve the problem, Meneses admitted to running gun parts across the border to three men, including his brother, who is a police officer, a state judicial official, and a former member of Mexico’s military…
ATF cut ties with Meneses and drafted a memo of notice for the Mexican government. The agency then purposely chose not to send the information and intentionally left the Mexican government in the dark. Senator Grassley wrote to the ATF over concerns the Bureau was actively ignoring criminal actions committed by its employees.”
