Report: U.S. Deploys Drones in Mexico

HeadlineMar 16, 2011

The New York Times is reporting the U.S. government has begun sending drones into Mexican territory in an effort to monitor the drug trade. The secret program began with a formal agreement between President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón last month. Administration officials say drones helped capture suspects in the recent killing of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Mexico.
