Hacked data reveals which US gun sellers are behind Mexican cartel violence

A massive leak of Mexican military intelligence has revealed the connection between U.S. gun shops and smugglers to over 78,000 firearms recovered south of the border. The leak, by an anonymous group called “Guacamaya,” and shared by DDoSecrets, exposes how American weapons are fueling violence in Central America and contributing to the migration crisis at the U.S. border. The leaked data includes shocking details like Texan Craig Adlong purchasing 66 firearms recovered in Mexico. The Fast and Furious scandal, where U.S. agents lost track of guns, continues to have ramifications in Mexico as the leaked information shows. The leak provides detailed insights into the types of firearms trafficked and their impact on cartel violence in Mexico.
