ldefonso Ortiz is an award-winning journalist with Breitbart Texas who has reported on Mexican drug cartels and public corruption along the U.S.-Mexico border and in Mexico itself for over 15 years. He is a regular guest on radio and television newscasts including on Telemundo, Univision, CNN and the BBC.
