This week's episode of CBS' "FBI" focused on Mexican cartel violence after a cartel leader's mistress illegally flees to New York.
The episode, "Shelter," begins like the usual left-wing fantasy of an evil white guy targeting illegal immigrants for murder.
A white male shooter kills 11 people in a shelter housing illegals. The shelter, Graceful Shepherd, is located in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, and the shooter has a history of racist behavior.
After getting the case, FBI analyst Ian Lim (James Chen) gave details to Special Agent Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) about the shelter's role in housing illegals.
At this point, one usually has to eye-roll at the predictably left-wing script.
Then the episode takes an unexpected turn. A Mexican cartel actually hired the shooter to kidnap a woman named Inés Madera, an illegal hiding in Graceful Shepherd. Madera is the former mistress of fictional cartel leader, Jorge Ortega. Ortega chose Madera when she was 16 years old. She secretly fled over the border with their 8-year-old son Miguel to keep the child from turning into a "monster" like his father. The cartel leader asked little Miguel to kill a man, but the boy refused.

Special Agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and Omar Zidan (Zeeko Zaki) argue about Madera's predicament.
While hidden from Ortega, Miguel is kidnapped by a former narco assassin named El Diablo. El Diablo wants justice because Ortega burned his wife and daughter alive in a junkyard and texted him the video. He hopes to exchange Miguel for Ortega's life.
The FBI rescues Miguel from El Diablo only to discover that the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been secretly working with Ortega the whole time and cut a deal with him in exchange for information. The DEA gives Miguel back to Ortega against the mother's wishes.
As the shady government official hands the boy back to the vicious cartel leader, you wish corrupt government leaders in cahoots with cartels could be exposed. You also wish a secure border would keep the cartels' violence out of our country in the first place.
Next week's episode of "FBI" is about rescuing a human trafficking victim. For all the virtue-signaling, has Trump's election caused some introspection in Hollywood?
