A Mexican drug cartel has threatened to kill ICE agents and Texas Rangers, according to a bulletin issued to law enforcement agencies.

The bulletin, revealed during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing, reported that members of the cartel discussed using AK-47 rifles to attack the agents and Rangers from across the U.S.-Mexico border.

While the threats have been described as having gone on for a while, the February 2011 murder of ICE agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico does put a new light on the threats.
