MEXICO CITY (AP) — Suspected drug cartel members abducted seven Mexican immigration agents in Cancun at gunpoint Wednesday, beat them and threatened to kill them before they were freed, authorities said.The brazen mass kidnapping occurred near Cancun’s bustling airport and illustrates the degree to which Mexico’s cartels and criminal gangs have become involved in migrant smuggling and kidnapping.Federal forces later located the house where the agents were being held in the Caribbean resort city.

It was the first such mass abduction of immigration agents in Mexico, and the National Immigr...
