In Mexico, the Los Angeles Times is reporting the Mexican government has expanded its surveillance of telephone calls and emails using money from the U.S. government. The State Department has paid for a new $3 million surveillance system designed by the New York-based company Verint Systems. The funding has raised concerns the monitoring could be shared with U.S. law enforcement. Both U.S. and Mexican officials declined comment on whether intelligence sharing could take place.
