Border Patrol Agent Assaulted by Drug Smuggler at Canadian Border
An alleged drug smuggler reportedly assaulted a U.S. Border Patrol agent as he attempted to arrest the man who illegally crossed the Canadian border into Washington. Two suspects fled back into Canada but were arrested by police in that country.
Blaine Sector Border Patrol agents observed multiple people crossing the Canadian border into the U.S. east of the Sumas Port of Entry on Thursday night. As agents arrived on the scene, they observed two subjects carrying large backpacks, according to information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
As the agents encountered the two people carrying the backpacks, one of the men became combative and struck the agent in the chest. A struggle ensued and the two men were able to escape and flee back into Canada. The agents found two backpacks reported to be stuffed with 83 pounds of what they believe to be methamphetamine. Officials estimated the value of the drugs at nearly $800,000, officials reported.

Mexican Judge Tried to Free Cartel Boss Before U.S. Could Get Him
A Mexican state judge in Yucatan ordered the release of a recently captured cartel leader who is wanted in the U.S. He is wanted in the U.S. in connection to a large criminal indictment targeting the leadership of Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel. Mexican federal authorities received notice that an extradition request was in the works and rearrested him under federal law.
Yucatan State Judge Luis Edwin Mugarte Guerrero ordered the release of Eleazar “El Chelelo” Medina Rojas, a long-time member of Los Zetas. Yucatan state police in Merida arrested him as he attempted to escape from federal authorities. Documents from the case point to Medina Rojas using fake documents that identified him as Maximo Tomas Roberto to avoid being captured.
The Nuevo Leon’s State Investigation’s Agency led the intelligence-based operation targeting Medina Rojas. The fugitive cartel boss is singled out as being behind the recent escalation of violence in the Monterrey metropolitan area, Breitbart News reported. Over the weekend, Mugarte Guerrero, the 2nd Control Judge in the 1st Judicial District in Merida, ruled that the arrest was illegal in nature and ordered Medina Rojas be released.
Moments after the ruling, federal authorities and Interpol agents moved in to re-arrest the man known as Chelelo in connection with a U.S. federal indictment. The federal authorities took Medina Rojas to the Altiplano federal prison where he will be held until U.S and Mexican authorities complete the extradition process.
