Report: DHS Turned Blind Eye to Drug Smuggling in Exchange for Millions in Bribes


Buried deep beneath the fearmongering feature stories about Russian subterfuge was a story that should shake every American to their core. According to a report carried out by The New York Times, the Department of Homeland Security allowed Mexican drug cartel operatives to bring drugs into the United States in exchange for bribes. The scandal is said to have involved hundreds of DHS employees, with millions of dollars being given to them in return for their lenience:

“It was not an isolated case. A review by The New York Times of thousands of court records and internal agency documents showed that over the last 10 years almost 200 employees and contract workers of the Department of Homeland Security have taken nearly $15 million in bribes while being paid to protect the nation’s borders and enforce immigration laws.

No wonder our immigration system is so broken.

In order to address the internal issues, the department has hired more investigators, offered ethics training and is administering polygraph tests to new applicants, The Times reports.

The Times report does not include the gifts, trips or money that DHS employees have stolen, the editors note.”
