In the face of Mexico’s inability to stop cartel-connected threats from spilling over its northern border, it makes perfect sense why the US would unilaterally infiltrate some of those infamous groups and spy on their communications.
Americans whine about illegal immigration and the flow of drugs into the country without ever stopping to consider the main reason why these problems exist in the first place. Look in the mirror. It's us, the Yanquis, who bear the ultimate responsibility for the poverty and destabilization of those Latin American countries (including Mexico). If we hadn't spent a couple of centuries dominating, invading, and exploiting the people down there, things would be a lot better for everyone. Remember "Yanqui go home"? If we had, poverty-stricken immigrants wouldn't be risking their lives to cross the Rio Grande. And drug cartels wouldn't even exist.
