One of the prime suspects in the murder of a member of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Special Agent Jaime Zapata, and the attempted slaying of his partner, Special Agent

Victor Avila was extradited to the United States by the Mexican government for his part in the drug-cartel's ambush. U.S. Department of Justice officials said that although 34-year-old Jose Emanuel

Garcia Sota (a/k/a Juan Manuel Maldonado Amezcua, Zafado or Safado), of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, had been charged on May 6, 2013, he made his second U.S. court appearance on Friday more than

two years later. The case is believed to have been linked to the botched Fast and Furious operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

One count of the murder complaint is connected to the slaying of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata, who alongside Avila was attacked while on assignment in Mexico, allegedly by members of Los Zetas

drug cartel. Agent Zapata joined Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry as a murder victim linked to a U.S. government operation that ended up doing more harm than good, according to investigators and lawmakers.
