FBI agents visited my home about an article I wrote, and now I can't go to Mexico
Mexico formally requested the FBI's help in seeking answers about one of my stories. Having federal agents on my doorstep sparked my own years-long effort to pry information out of the FBI to explain why it came to my house to begin with.
