The House of Representatives will consider a resolution honoring the life and memory of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena on the 25th anniversary of his death.
The resolution is put forth by Congressman Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-CA) in an effort to recognize “Kiki’s”  accomplishment with the war on drugs.
Agent Camarena was first assigned to the Calexico, California, then later to the Guadalajara resident office. While there, agent Camarena was kidnapped by a group of armed men, tortured and eventually killed.
“Kiki Camarena is a national hero of the war on drugs,” said Congressman Hunter. “Throughout his career, agent Camarena demonstrated an unrelenting commitment to protect our communities from the threat of drug crime and addiction. Twenty-five years after his death, agent Camarena’s memory lives on through a nationally recognized drug prevention program while his sacrifice reminds us all about the dangers associated with the illegal drug trade.” [1] Keep reading
