We had the opportunity to hear firsthand from three federal law enforcement officers during Judiciary Committee hearing on cartels last month about the ongoing risk and dangers to law enforcement.

He further testified that he has lost several friends and fellow law enforcement officers as a result of their law enforcement duties. (06:42–06:59)
