Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton released a statement Wednesday evening on the arrest of several people who are suspected of killing an agent last week.
"The announcement today by Mexican authorities of an arrest in the shooting of ICE Special Agents Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila is a welcome development. We are encouraged by this action and appreciate the efforts by Mexico to bring Special Agent Zapata's killers to justice," Morton said.
The two agents were shot while driving from Mexico City to Monterrey.
The funeral of Zapata was held Tuesday in Brownsville, TX and was attended by hundreds of law enforcement officials.
"It is important to remember that this is an ongoing investigation, and we will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners in Mexico and in the United States as it unfolds. We continue to hold the Zapata family in our thoughts and prayers, and look forward to a swift resolution of this case," said Morton.
