GAO faults US gun smuggling curb plan to Mexico
GAO findings presented to Congress condemn lack of a coordinated U.S. strategy to curb firearms trafficking to Mexico. Investigators note agencies like ICE and ATF did not work together and only recently began cross border coordination. Over 90 percent of guns traced in Mexico came from the United States in recent years.

The U S House plans to vote to impeach U S District Judge Samuel Kent on four articles of high crimes and misdemeanors and send them to the Senate for trial. Democrats scheduled a two hour debate with timing to be announced, as Kent began a 33 month prison term after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and prosecutors dropped sexual misconduct charges.
