CNN reports on a troubling story from Mexico.  Yesterday, gunmen opened fire on two U.S. immigration agents in Mexico, killing one and injuring the other. The two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were attacked while driving between Mexico City and Monterey.  U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano released a statement on the killing.  The shooting took place about 23 miles north of downtown Mexico City. The agents reportedly were doing “routine work” on a well-traveled highway in an armored car with diplomatic plates. They were forced off the road and surrounded by a group of more than 10 people.
