Statement by ICE Deputy Director and Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director Patrick J. Lechleitner regarding the apprehension of “El Mayo” Zambada
“There is a misunderstanding of the role of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), relating to the apprehension of ‘El Mayo’ Zambada. To be clear: HSI's only role in the apprehension of ‘El Mayo’ Zambada was to help execute the arrest on US soil near El Paso, Texas on July 25.”
