Lawmakers to Open an Inquiry on Undercover **** Operation
WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans said Monday that they would open an investigation into undercover operations by the **** Enforcement Administration in which agents have laundered and smuggled millions of dollars in **** money as part of an effort to help Mexico fight organized crime.

The operations, which **** officials said had the support and cooperation of the Mexican government, have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars across borders and moved millions more through shell accounts to help American agents identify how criminal organizations move their money, where they keep their assets and who their leaders are.
Critics said the operations blur the line between surveillance and facilitating crime, raising questions similar to those around a ***-smuggling operation known as Fast and Furious that involves agents of the Bureau of *******, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The *** operation has been under investigation for months by Representative Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In a letter on Monday to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., Mr. Issa said he would expand that investigation to include the **** agency, describing its money-laundering investigations as “dangerous schemes” and adding that “the consequences have been disastrous.”
Mr. Issa, Republican of California, asked Mr. Holder to provide a briefing on the undercover operations to his staff on Wednesday. He wrote, “It is almost unfathomable to contemplate the degree to which the United States government has made itself an accomplice to the **** trade, which has thus far left more than 40,000 people dead in Mexico.”
