They denounced that members of the National Guard and the Navy Secretariat have links with organized crime.The first reports began to circulate around 05:00 this Friday, August 13. Through social networks, neighbors reported that several blankets lay tied with bottles. All with the same message.The 'narco messages' state that allegedly a Navy lieutenant and inspector of the Guardia Nacional, as well as a corporal, have links with a criminal group in Sonora.It is detailed that they received money and a vehicle from organized crime in exchange for providing information about the anti-drug operations that are carried out.So far, it has been reported that the 'narco messages' appeared in a church in the Casa Blanca neighborhood, in Ciudad Obregón; on the 300 bridge and the International Highway.After these were reported, elements of the Municipal Police arrived at the place, who cordoned off the area to begin the corresponding proceedings.Narco message reads as follows:Marine Lieutenant Immer Garcia de La Cruz, the inspector of the National Guard, and the Marine corporal Ramon de La Rosa León are colluded with organized crime.They pass information on all future operations that are to be carried out in the towns of Obregón, Navojoa, Guaymas, and Empalme to the criminal group of Los Salazars.They gifted Lieutenant Immer a recent model grey Honda Civic. On behalf of corporal De la Rosa León aka El Guante . He s the point of contact for the money that s delivered to the Guardia Nacional inspector, currently based in the Yaqui valley located in Obregón, Sonora.Sonora Presente"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatThe Brooklyn Federal Court issued six full statements of Edgar Veytia in the period from March 2017 to March 2018General Salvador Cienfuergos, former head of the Ministry of National Defense, was protector of drug trafficker Juan Francisco Patrón Sánchez, "El H-2," the former attorney general of Nayarit, Edgar Veytia, told a Federal Court of the United States.As published by the Brooklyn Federal Court, corresponding to six full statements by Veytia between March 2017 and March 2018, Cienfuegos was the protector of the boss."Veytia began to hear that "El H-2" had a godfather long before. In November 2016, Veytia saw "El H-2" and "H-2" said that person had to be Cienfuegos," says a statement of March 14, 2018.In addition to this point, Veytia confirmed to prosecutors and agents of the DEA and the FBI that both he and former governor Roberto Sandoval collaborated with Patrón Sánchez in exchange for bribes.Another character involved with the drug trafficker according to Veytia was the current governor of Sinaloa, Quirino Ordaz.WHO WAS "EL H-2"?Juan Francisco Patrón Sánchez was one of those particular individuals who took control of what was left of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel, after the capture of Héctor M, "El H", the last of the brothers who remained active.Since 2011, the Attorney General's Office of Nayarit (PGJE) placed "El H-2" or "El Chico" among the seven alleged members of cells of the Beltrán Leyva brothers' cartel, which operated in the north and south of the state."El H-2" died in February 2017, in an alleged confrontation with the Navy.10 MONTHS AFTER THE DETENTION OF CIENFUEGOSGeneral Cienfuegos, head of the Mexican Army during Enrique Peña Nieto's term (2012-2018) was arrested on October 15 in Los Angeles, United States, after an investigation by the DEA, which accused him of links with organized crime and money laundering, but after an unprecedented diplomatic exercise, he was returned to Mexico to be investigated by local authorities.On January 14, the Attorney General's Office of the Republic reported in a bulletin that no criminal action would be brought against Salvador Cienfuegos because "no evidence was found" that related him to criminal groups or detected irregularities in his patrimony, among other points.Following the FGR's decision, López Obrador remarked on more than one occasion at the press conference that the "evidence" presented by the DEA "has no probative value" to prosecute Cienfuegos. Furthermore, he saw a certain relationship between the date of Cienfuegos's arrest and the US elections."All this needs to be clarified," he stressed. "We maintain that impunity must end, of course corruption. But also that there can be no reprisals, revenge, and that crimes cannot be invented, that no one should act that way," he stressed.The president remarked that there would be "full transparency" in the case to avoid criticism, and as he assured, the case file was disclosed.La Silla Rota"Socalj" for Borderland BeatThe leaked email stated Also, we need to now avoid saying Mexican cartel or discussing the Mexican government or LE cooperation with Mexico. Please continue using drug cartel, TCO, DTO, etc. Officials at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been directed by their headquarters to stop using the term Mexican cartel when speaking with the media, according to an email exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation from a government official.A portion of the email sent mid-July stated: Also, we need to now avoid saying Mexican cartel or discussing the Mexican government or LE cooperation with Mexico. Please continue using drug cartel, TCO, DTO, etc. The DEA is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ) tasked with enforcing the country s drug laws. Anne Milgram, who was sworn in June 28 by Attorney General Merrick Garland, heads the agency. The DEA and DOJ did not respond to the DCNF s requests for comment. Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo interviewed former acting administrator of the DEA Timothy Shea on May 9 about the cartels trafficking drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border. Bartiromo stated that Shea was supposed to be joined by a DEA official, but that the DOJ last minute canceled his appearance. We actually invited an official from the Drug Enforcement Administration to come on with you, Bartiromo said. And we thought we would have a conversation, the three of us. But Biden s DOJ squashed it. She added, They did not want the DEA official to be on to discuss this. So, there is also a media ban on this. Isn t this information that the public needs to understand, that these wide-open borders, it s not just about illegals coming into this country and sucking up resources and taking getting in front of the line for those who are trying to do it legally? she explained. The DEA s 2020 Drug Threat Assessment found that Mexican cartels are increasingly responsible for producing and supplying fentanyl to the U.S. market and that they remain the greatest criminal drug threat in the United States. A senior DEA official in May told NPR that Mexican agencies have become less transparent with the U.S., making it more difficult to combat the threat.Source Daily Caller"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatAmong the victims is a woman who was killed along with a man in AcatzingoAccording to police sources, the facts could be related to a settling of scores.In less than 24 hours, the bodies of six people who showed signs of violence and some bullet wounds were found in the municipalities of Tecamachalco, Tepeaca, Acatzingo and Puebla; three of the municipalities belong to the so-called "Red Triangle".According to police sources, the events could be related to a settling of scores; the six victims, until press time, remained unknown; the authorities integrated the respective investigation folders.The first case was registered on Thursday afternoon; a citizen reported that the body of a man was floating in theValsequillo Water Channel,near Santiago Alseseca, in the municipality of Tecamachalco, a fact that mobilized the authorities of that municipality.The deceased, approximately 25 years old, was in an advanced state of decomposition, whose body was transferred by personnel from the Semefo to the municipal amphitheater for the autopsy of law.In the second case, in the early hours of Friday, residents of San Pablo Actipan, in the municipality of Tepeaca, reported to the authorities that an armed group, aboard a pickup, had thrown two human bodies, next to the auxiliary presidency of the community itself.Municipal Public Security elements arrived at the site, who found the bodies of two men of approximately 25 years old, they were wrapped in plastic and had traces of torture produced from a knife.Next to the bodies a warning message was found. The victims were registered as unknown 15 and 16 in the amphitheater of the same city.In the third fact, already at dawn yesterday, but in the municipality of Acatzingo, a double homicide was recorded on agricultural land in the town of Actipan de Morelos; it was a man and a woman, whose ages ranged from 20 to 25 years; both bodies were tied up and had been shot in the head; also in this case, the victims remain unknown.Finally, in the capital of Puebla, the body of a man wrapped in a blanket was found, with traces of torture, below the bridge of the Ecological Bypass, near the housing unit La Guadalupana, in the Lomas de Santa Catarina neighborhood, in the auxiliary board of San Francisco Totimehuacán, yesterday shortly after noon.People who passed by the site realized that it was a corpse because his head was covered with brown tape, his hands tied with a rope and his feet were sticking out with red tennis shoes, wrapped in a red blanket.The citizens reported it to the emergency number 9-1-1. Shortly after state police arrived who confirmed what was said.The area was cordoned off and later experts and ministerial agents of the Attorney General's Office arrived to carry out the steps of the removal of the body.During these works it was confirmed that he was a man of about 35 years old, whose body showed traces of torture; the victim was listed as an unknown person.El Sol de Puebla"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatA body wrapped - apparently a woman - in plastic bags was 'left' on Himno Nacional Street and State Highway 22, specifically in the community of La Sauceda, she was left as a gift to the politician JM Carreras, who today delivers the sixth government report.Two green cards were left next to the body, in which a criminal group allegedly claims this act.Municipal elements of Villa de Zaragoza were the first to arrive at the place, as well as elements of the Investigation Police and the Expert Services of the State Prosecutor's Office.Agencia de Noticias SLP"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatThey used sophisticated devices to open the new model trucks and turn on the vehicles without making noiseThe Attorney General's Office announced that a criminal gang dedicated to the theft of pick up vehicles was arrested in the city of Chihuahua; work that was achieved through investigative work in which the Municipal Public Security Directorate also participated.The authorities detailed that the criminal gang whose modus operandi was to commit the robberies during the early hours of the morning, used sophisticated devices to open the new model trucks and turn on the vehicles without making noise, so that victims noticed the robbery hours later.It was through the coordinated work between agents of the Specialized Unit in Investigation of Vehicle Theft, police of the State Investigation Agency and UARC Special Groups of the Municipal Public Security Directorate that evidence such as video recordings of the Chihuahua Shield Platform and various devices that were used and obtained.Arrest warrants were fulfilled against Jordi Rogelio C. R, Enrique M. J. alias "El Oso", Jorge Alberto G. Fr. alias "El Tecas", Edgar Iván G. T. alias "El Gori" and Víctor Enrique C. A. alias "El Pelón."After being brought before a control judge, it was decided to initiate criminal proceedings against the accused, for the crime of vehicle theft without violence, 4 of them under the precautionary measure of preventive detention.It is worth mentioning that on August 5, El Heraldo de Chihuahua revealed that in a period of seven months 522 vehicles were stolen in the city of Chihuahua, with or without violence, according to reports obtained from the Attorney General's Office itself.It was also reported that within a monthly average it was established that between 70 and 80 vehicle thefts are generated every 30 days, of which 80 to 90 percent correspond to robberies without violence and the rest, between 10 and 20 percent correspond to reports of vehicles that are stolen with luxury of violence, such as through threats with firearms, armed attacks and other mechanisms where the alleged assailants exert pressure.El Heraldo de Chihuahua"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatOn the afternoon of Friday, August 13, three people were shot dead in various criminal acts, in addition to seven alleged perpetrators were arrested and one person who was kidnapped was released.The first event was recorded minutes before 6:00 p.m. on San Antonio Street, a few meters from the stone church, where a guy entered a seafood business and shot a man with several bullets.According to Eyewitnesses, he ran out into a van and fled to May 5th Street at full speed.Paramedics arrived at the scene; but they could do nothing to save his life, because he no longer had vital signs.Elements of the Directorate of Public Security of Guadalupe immediately cordoned off the street to make way for the first proceedings by investigative police and experts from the Zacatecan Institute of Forensic Sciences.As a result of this shooting attack, in the central area of Guadalupe, the alleged aggressors were located by police elements, who undertook a chase towards the road to Sauceda de la Borda.This action was perpetrated thanks to the lines of investigation generated by the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) and the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination (CONASE).It was meters before reaching the bridge at the intersection with the 21st Century road, over that area towards Sauceda, where metropolitan police were shot at and one of them was injured.When the police elements repelled the aggression, they opened fire on the armed civilians, leaving two of them dead in a blue Ford vehicle.Also, thanks to a strong operational deployment of various security corporations, as well as the National Guard, seven male and female aggressors were arrested.In addition, several firearms and a vehicle were secured, in addition to the release of a person who was deprived of his liberty.The Public Security Spokesperson of Zacatecas, detailed that "because various proceedings are still being carried out and preserving the secrecy of the investigation, at the moment it is not possible to provide more data."Testigo Ocular"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatThe lawsuit over drug cartel violence could be part of a bigger change on guns.Assault rifles are displayed for sale at Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly, Virginia, on Oct. 6, 2017.Researching a book on gun trafficking, I asked an export broker in the legal part of the arms trade if he was concerned that his assault rifles could end up in the hands of murderers.He said he wasn t worried about getting in trouble; his sales, he assured me, followed national and international laws. I asked again: Even if he wasn t nervous about legal consequences, was he bothered ethically if his weapons ended up on the wrong trigger fingers? He was silent for a moment before answering with a confident no. I ll give him credit for his honesty. But this same attitude, perhaps expressed with less vehemence, can be found among many in the weapons industry.The argument is that if producers, importers, and sellers obey the law, then it is not their responsibility what is ultimately done with their pistols, rifles, or bullets.This concept, however, has just been challenged by an unprecedented lawsuit filed by the Mexican government on Aug. 4 in a U.S. federal court in Massachusetts.The complaint names key companies in the U.S. firearms industry and argues they are complicit in a vast iron river of guns flowing over the southern U.S. border and wielded by Mexican cartel gunmen to commit mass murder there.The companies, the lawsuit argues, deliberately marketed and distributed their products to meet the gangsters preferences for certain types and specifications of guns.The Mexican government estimates more than two million firearms have been trafficked over the Rio Grande in the last decade. In that time, there have been more than 250,000 murders in Mexico, with more than two-thirds of them involving guns.The violence also includes firefights between hundreds of cartel thugs and soldiers, resulting in mass graves with hundreds of corpses. Thousands have fled the bloodshed to seek asylum in the United States.The lawsuit names defendants including Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, whose .50-caliber rifles are used by cartel gunmen against Mexican security forces, and Century Arms, a U.S. importer of Kalashnikovs, which have been traced to Mexican crime scenes.(Full disclosure: My work on gun trafficking is cited in the lawsuit.) For decades, the [Mexican] government and its citizens have been victimized by a deadly flood of military-style and other particularly lethal guns, it says in the suit. This flood is not a natural phenomenon. The lawsuit shines a much-needed spotlight on gun trafficking and legal weapons sales from the United States to Mexico.The lawsuit demands the companies take action to stop the trafficking, including to monitor and discipline their distribution systems and pay compensation to Mexico.While the amount is not specified in the suit, an official said that the cost to Mexico, including for added security, funerals, and wider economic damage, could be $10 billion. The cost of a human life is invaluable, said Alejandro Celorio Alcántara, a legal advisor at the Mexican Foreign Ministry.The U.S. National Shooting Sport Foundation quickly called the suit baseless, and said it was a threat to rights enshrined in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1791. The Mexican government is responsible for the rampant crime and corruption within their own borders, said Lawrence Keane, the organization s senior vice president and general counsel. The 2005 U.S. Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act also shields gun companies from being held liable for crimes committed with their products.The lawsuit is certainly a difficult case to pursue. But it is a solid strategy by the Mexican government that could help move the dial on this contentious issue.It coincides with various suits filed in the United States against gun companies. In another case, families of the children murdered in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut sued the maker of the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack. In July, lawyers for the now bankrupt Remington Arms Company offered $33 million to settle the suit.This shows that such legal actions can succeed. They could also have a cumulative effect on practices in the gun industry and help stop firearms reaching the wrong hands.Legal actions have a history of forcing other U.S. industries to change their practices, from the 1998 agreement with tobacco companies to the ongoing cases against pharmaceutical companies for their role in the opioid crisis.Latin American criminal gangs have embraced social media and messaging platforms to spread narco culture and sell drugs.Furthermore, the lawsuit shines a much-needed spotlight on gun trafficking and legal weapons sales from the United States to Mexico, and how it fuels fighting that often resembles armed conflict.Since it was filed, it has already generated a large amount of media coverage, and this could continue as the case makes its way through court. This could also help put pressure on the White House and the Congress to move on the issue.U.S. President Joe Biden has promised action on gun violence amid a worrying rise in homicides committed with firearms in the United States. Congress could pass a law requiring universal background checks for gun purchases, which would close a loophole often used by cross-border gun runners.The U.S. government could crack down on straw buyers people with clean records who are paid to buy firearms for criminals. Such actions could reduce the trafficking of guns into U.S. cities as well as over the southern border.Other actions could include extended background checks on buying .50-caliber rifles or on buying larger quantities of Kalashnikovs or AR-15s. If the gun companies say they are against trafficking, they should support such measures.The Mexican government is not challenging Americans right to bear arms but only how guns can go to criminals who are destabilizing a country.Obviously, Mexico also needs to urgently battle the corruption and poverty that fuels the violence.On both sides of the border, the issue of the drug trade itself and how it generates billions of dollars for criminals needs to be addressed. But this doesn t take away the responsibility of the United States and its firearms industry to take basic measures to stop such large-scale gun running.I also talked to a U.S. gun seller who was genuinely concerned that the firearms he sells may be going to cartels. He said he vigilantly contacted the authorities when he noticed something suspicious and was frustrated by the lack of response. Hopefully, such voices in the industry can prevail.The Mexican government is not challenging Americans right to bear arms but only how guns can go to criminals who are destabilizing a country. If no action is taken, it is terrifying to think of millions of more guns flowing south over the next decade, hundreds of thousands of additional victims, and their weeping families.Foreign Policy"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatThe head of the Mexican state seems to give a blank check to impunityThe signs of Joe Biden's government seem to be a reflection of the dominant discussions not only in the highest levels of government, but also in certain American academic circles which, as a result of the expansion of transnational organized crime during the last decade, raise the need to resignify its importance and impact on bilateral daily life and for hemispheric security.While in Mexico and particularly in this administration, the more absent the State is, the more susceptible communities are to depend on criminal organizations, other illegal economies and become its supporters.There are plenty of examples in recent months, there. This phenomenon is not new in the national x-ray, what amazes has been the rapid and exponential growth of control of entire territories in the face of President López Obrador's foolish strategy of embracing criminals.The notion of these criminals of promoting support among the masses is associated with the concept of competitive state building, which is translating into a "governmental entity" with a degree of legitimacy and political capital as several documented in this past electoral process.The cartels are actively challenging the authority of the State and, it must be said, represent a risk to national sovereignty, since they exceed the State's response capacity through violence by challenging its legitimacy, acting as alternative governments, controlling informal economies and infiltrating the police forces or our armed forces.The passivity of the Fourth Transformation campaign promise boasting photographs of security cabinets causes genuine doubt of the result of its effectiveness: it is very evident that the negotiation with the CJNG - which has not been denied but socialized among senior officials - has empowered its leader who dared to attack the Secretary of Citizen Security of the CDMX, Omar García Harfuch, and now to threaten the media and the journalist of the newspaper Milenio, Azucena Uresti.All this should be a turning point in the road map in the national security strategy.Both events, among a long list of affronts, did not merit a strong condemnation or forceful action by the Executive. The Mexican head of state seems to give a blank check to the impunity of these criminals who confidently defy him and whose violence is already probable.Wrapped in his morning from where he shoots adjectives and criticisms against the media and his journalists, he has built a very dangerous narrative that will reach him over time. To ignore the signs of growing discomfort, both domestically and within the United States government due to the escalation in criminal belligerence, is to administer a crisis that grows exponentially and will have a dynamic not favorable for the Fourth Transformation campaign pledge.The frequent visits of senior officials of the Joe Biden government and the relaunch with pressure of a strategy against cartels and containing out-of-control migratory flows are not accidental.However, 2024 is still far away, the Executive sows every day in the only field that interests it: the electoral one.For the same reason, he should be aware that a transexenal continuation of his policy of hugs, his negotiations with criminal organizations that carry out acts of domestic terrorism, the active demobilization of our armed forces and the serious omissions in migration matters, have been terrible letters of introduction of the vaunted transformation that yes, according to certain figures who will shout "exaggerated" of the CONEVAL (National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy) has managed to transform the poor ... into being exceedingly poorer. Such a particular tragedy.THROUGH THE PEEPHOLEThe third out-of-control rally between the lawsuit over the color of the epidemiological traffic light. Followed by a slow and centralized vaccination program, that is currently without sufficient evidence along with a school cycle in suspense. Worse, and absurd.El Universal"Sol Prendido" for Borderland BeatThe dead bodies of five men were thrown on Federal Highway 49, near the junction with the Altamira community, on the Rancho Grande-Fresnillo highway .The finding was reported to the 911 Emergency System, around 07:00 hours, when eyewitnesses observed the bodies on the treadmill.As a result of the report, a security operation of the Metropolitan Police (Metropol) was deployed, who confirmed the presence of the five bodies lying on the road.The bodies were wrapped in blankets and tied with clear tape; two were together and a few meters away the other three.Therefore, the road was closed towards the Las Palmas cruise ship, since the bodies were scattered in approximately 200 meters along the federal road.To that site that is located approximately 30 kilometers north of this municipality, the Investigation elements of the Attorney General's Office (FGJE) arrived to begin with the first investigations and protect the area for the police protocol to be carried out.The identity of the five deceased men has not been revealed, for the moment they remain unidentified.Police of the Caminos National Guard division took charge of closing the road while the investigation processes were being executed and the experts of the Zacatecan Institute of Forensic Sciences (IZCF) carried out the lifting of the bodies to practice the autopsy of law on each of them and achieve their identification.NTR Zacatecas
