.@SecNielsen told me she hadn't seen DEA data.
Me: Do you think violence is spilling over into the US?
Nielsen: Along the border? Absolutely.
Me: That's not what the DEA says.
Nielsen: I would be happy to look at the DEA materials.

A DHS official wants me to remind you I interviewed @SecNielsen in April and we were discussing DEA's 2017 report.
It and 2018's report say same thing: spillover violence not a major threat.
I reminded DHS that Sec. Nielsen never actually followed up to say she read the report.
