Mexican Police Arrested

The four men arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol after a man with a gunshot was found last week in Hudspeth County turned out to be Mexican law enforcement officers who inadvertently crossed the border. The Israeli-made drone was quickly returned to Mexico with U.S. officials citing trust between both nations for helping solve the situation.

On the evening of June 5, Border Patrol agents found a man with a gunshot wound to a leg near farms about two miles east of Hudspeth County line, Border Patrol spokesman Agent Ramiro Cordero said Friday. Four other men were arrested after crossing the border.

Cordero said that the four men were Chihuahua state police officers who were armed and had mistakenly crossed the border searching for the wounded man. The international boundary is at the middle of the Rio Grande, which was dry at that location.

In 2009, six Mexican federal police officers were detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in El Paso after they walked into U.S. territory while looking for a suspect vehicle on the Bridge of the Americas, according to El Paso Times archives. The uniformed officers were detained for less than four hours before they and their weapons were returned to Mexico. The border is set at the middle of the international bridge.

The Orbiter Mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle did not have permission to be in U.S. airspace, according to El Paso Times archives. Mexican officials refused to talk about the drone’s mission but said that it was on a surveillance flight. The drone developed mechanical problems and Mexican officials immediately notified the U.S. that the drone could fall on the U.S. side of the border.

World’s Most Wanted Cartel Boss

According to CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times, an unnamed senior American law enforcement official. “A Mexican security source confirmed the capture, saying it took place in Mazatlan, a seaside resort in Guzman's northwestern home state of Sinaloa.

Sinaloa drug cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been captured by U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials. He had been on the run since 2001 when he escaped from a Mexican prison. Guzman is considered to be the most powerful drug lord in Mexico and was even named on Forbes magazine’s 2009 list featuring the world’s most powerful people.

The U.S. official also told CNN that Guzman was accompanied by a female when he was arrested and that the bust was part of “a joint operation with Mexican marines and Drug Enforcement Administration authorities overnight.” He said that the operation had been in the works for four or five weeks.

This arrest is a huge coup for law enforcement on both sides of the U.S. – Mexican border. Guzman was on many Most Wanted lists and marks the 25th drug lord to be killed or captured of the 37 most-wanted organized crime leaders announced in 2010.

The city of Chicago branded him the first “Public Enemy No. 1″ since Al Capone, due to Guzman’s influence on the city’s drug market and subsequent street violence. U.S. authorities offered a $5 million reward for information that led to his capture.

Different Types Of Wolves

First up is a Timber Wolf (Gray Wolf) - The male stands 3 foot at the shoulder with the average weight being 100 lbs., but can be as much as 175 lbs. Their powerful jaws are built to crush the bones of its prey. They have the biting capacity of 1500 pounds per square inch. There are 5 subspecies of gray wolf and 7 to 12 in Eurasia, the arctic wolf is among these. 

Subspecies are often difficult to distinguish from one another because they have been known to interbreed in areas where their geographic ranges overlap. Earlier in the century these animals were labeled as troublesome livestock killers and were wiped out in Yellowstone Park. In 1995 Canadian grays were reintroduced to repopulate the park and today the reintroduction stands as a huge success.

Second, would be a Red wolf - This wolf is a much smaller wolf, standing 16 inches high at the shoulder and weighing 40 to 80 lbs. Their faces are much narrower, with larger ears and shorter coats. Their colors range from reddish to black. The red wolf was declared extinct in the wild, there were none in Canada or Mexico that could be transferred to the U.S., but there were a few in captivity that were bred and introduced onto public land with the help of the Fish and Wildlife Service, with success. Since that time the wolves have spread onto private land, and have once again come under attack by wolf protesters.

Mexican Gray Wolf - Smaller than the timber wolf, weighing 60 to 90 lbs. Until recently, the Mexican Wolf no longer resided in the wild in the United States. Hunted to near extinction here, they only survived in programs managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), until March 1997 when eleven Mexican wolves were released into the wild in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest

On August 7, 1998 Wolf #174 was found mortally wounded by a mountain lion. Wolf #174 was the first Mexican wolf to give birth in the wild in 50 years. The male wolf and pup are being monitored, in the wild, to be certain the pup is being cared for.

Coyote (prairie wolf) - This wolf is smaller and more delicately built, standing 16 to 20 inches from the shoulder. The males weigh 27 to 33 lbs. with colors ranging from gray to tan with rust. The coyote is not an endangered species, but are considered dangerous to livestock and killed by the thousands each year.

The Mexican Drug War

The New York Times reported on the deteriorating conditions in the state, with government officials promising to seize back control from the cartel on Monday (January 13). However, citizens who have taken up arms have been warring in the open with the drug gangs in the western Mexican state.

The Mexican Drug War has been raging for years and despite military intervention to quell the violence sparked by the drug cartels, the battles have torn many regions apart. Now, government officials in Mexico have to also contend with civilian vigilantes known as “self-defense” groups who have declared war on the violent Knights Templar cartel in the state of Michoacán.

The turmoil in Michoacán — where vigilantes have been battling cartel gunmen on village streets — poses one of the biggest security challenges for President Enrique Peña Nieto, whose focus since taking office a little over a year ago has been on the economy.

Mexican Cartel Prepares For War

A power struggle to fill the vacuum left in the Sinaloa region of Mexico, since the extradition of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman out of the country, has intensified over the past several weeks, and newly released photos show aspiring cartel members mobilizing to fight.

Mexican website Blog Del Narco obtained and published the photos on Monday, February 27. The images show off the grade of weaponry and the massive stock of ammunition the unidentified group is traveling with. In one photo a man with an assault rifle stands behind an airplane. Another shows scores of trucks lined up, one behind another, atop a mountain as the men position for an advantage in the lucrative drug war.

Earlier this month headlines were rocked when El Chapo's sons were attacked by gunmen aligned with an opposing faction of the Sinaloa cartel. Back in August El Chapo's boys were kidnapped by gunmen in an incident that was captured on surveillance footage that many saw, as it made its rounds in the media. The February 4 attack is said to have occurred when they arrived with long time associate Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, at a meeting called by longtime cartel member Damaso Lopez, who invited them to talk as he wished to dispel rumors that he ordered the kidnapping, according to a letter purportedly handwritten by Jesus Alfredo and Ivan Archivaldo Guzman.

There have been broad daylight gunfights since. Authorities have also stepped in amidst the chaos, leading to a shootout they had with suspected cartel members that left nine dead in the city of Reynosa last week.

El Chapo Being Extradited To U.S.

Notorious Mexican drug czar Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is being extradited from Mexico to New York to face charges. A spokesperson for the Mexican Attorney General announced that Guzman was en route to the U.S., but did not reveal the exact location of his destination.

The U.S. Justice Department has been working against Guzman's resistance to extradition to the U.S., where he will face charges for 12 murder conspiracies, drug trafficking, and money laundering. According to the NY Daily News, Guzman will not face the death penalty if extradited, per an agreement the Justice Department made with the Mexican government.

Guzman is expected to be housed in the Metropolitan Correctional Center or the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Mexican Cartel Dumps 10 Corpses Outside of the Governor's Office

 


With his sons on the run from the Mexican government and the U.S. federal government, El Chapo's drug trafficking empire appears to be up for grabs. The stakes are highest in the Northern region of Mexico because of its proximity to the United States. Thus, the governing bodies from the two neighboring countries have worked together very closely ever since Mexico declared its war on the drug cartels back in 2006.

El Chapo Says He's Broke

Requests made by the defense of notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman were batted down by the judge overseeing his second hearing at a federal court in Brooklyn on Friday, February 3. Attorneys representing Guzman argued that his prison conditions have been "too restrictive," with them citing that he has been ordered to remain locked in a cell for 23 hours out of the day. "He's only permitted out for limited members of our office and one hour of exercise a day — it's extremely restrictive," public defender Michelle Gelernt said while advocating for a lightening on the restrictions. But Judge Brian Cogan wasn't sympathetic to his plight.

"They're taking extra security measures. I think we all know the reasons for that," Cogan said. His statement was in reference to El Chapo's reputation for escaping prison, a feat he's famously pulled off from maximum security institutions twice before.

El Chapo now also faces pressure to speed up the process of acquiring the services of a private lawyer, after Cogan ordered him to disclose his financial status. The Mexican kingpin has faced questions as to why he is receiving the counsel of public defenders when his fortune has been assessed well into the billions. Prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York cited the success of his Sinaloa Cartel, a report by Forbes Magazine, and the U.S. government's $14 million suit against him as evidence that he can afford a lawyer, in a letter delivered to Cogan last week. However, Gelernt insists on his behalf, that El Chapo Guzman "has no ability to hire a lawyer" because for the time being the restrictions placed upon him prevent him from being in contact with family and associates who might be able to extend him access to funds.

For the time being Cogan has ruled that Guzman may continue to receive the services of a public defender, but must submit an affidavit making a case for why he currently needs one.

Drug Dealer Behind 79 Murders

Mexican officials say a 20-year-old man has admitted to killing 45 people, and is being investigated for 34 more. Juan Pablo Vazquez was caught earlier this month in in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey where he was allegedly selling drugs.

Vazquez, who said he was part of an unidentified local organized crime group, has already admitted being behind 45 killings and “is related to at least 79 murders, most of them committed in 2012. Mexico has suffered from a wave of drug-related violence, with about 1,000 people a month dying in gangland killings. About 80,000 people have died since 2007 in cartel violence.

Minors Not Being Accepted At US Border


Now this is backwards, if anything we should be accepting the children with their parents first. The head of Mexico's immigration agency said Monday that his country won't accept migrants younger than 18 while they await the resolution of their U.S. asylum claims.

Mexican officials had previously said the United States expressed interest in extending the "remain in Mexico" policy to other border crossings. But Guillen said Mexico will accept only asylum seekers aged 18 to 60 at El Chaparral.

Mexico will accept migrants only from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, and will give them four-month visas. Guillen said that since Dec. 1, Mexico has given 3,983 transit visas to Central Americans, most of whom hope to reach the United States.

Mexico will also extend other work-visa programs to apply to more Mexican states and more Central American countries. U.S. authorities plan to bus asylum seekers back and forth to the border for court hearings in downtown San Diego, including an initial appearance within 45 days.

The U.S. has witnessed a surge in asylum claims, especially from Central American families. Due largely to a court-imposed 20-day limit on detaining children, families are typically released with a notice to appear in immigration court. With a backlog of more than 800,000 cases, it can take years to settle cases.

Heads Found Outside Church

Just steps from the front door of a church, on plastic bags spread over paving stones, the decapitated heads of four people were discovered in the roiling Mexican state of Michoacan. Arms and legs were found elsewhere in the small town of Zacan.

The grisly scene came just days after two severed heads were left in front of a bank in Paracuaro, a nearby enclave. A message also accompanied those remains. “For all those who switched sides,” it read, an apparent warning to cartel snitches.

The decapitation discoveries occurred in the same week that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto visited the state capital of Moreila to announce he would pump more than $3 million into the local economy to help reverse “institutional weakness” in the area.

Michoacan is under siege by the meth-producing Knights Templar, a ruthless crime syndicate that demands kickbacks from local residents and traffics millions in the drug and sex trades. Vigilantes have risen up to fight the vicious cartel and the state has degenerated into anarchy in many towns and villages.

The Knights Templar also is locked in a turf war with the Jalisco New Generation cartel over meth production and smuggling routes. Thursday’s decapitations may have been a public warning about supporting the quasi-religious.

Is Trump A Dictator?

Magic Johnson gave his two cents on Donald Trump's controversial travel ban, on Sunday night [Jan. 29], saying that it is "not who we are as Americans." He also directed some sharp words at the President, with a warning that he remember he is legislating over democracy.

"It’s just not a good time. He’s gotta learn you can’t just be a dictator. We’ve never had a president like that. We’ve always had a president who brought the country together and brought all people together. That’s what we need today, right now, and we’re not getting that," Johnson told a TMZ reporter while exiting the W Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Trump Administration has moved quickly to deliver on the promises he made to his base over the course of his campaign. The executive order, which denies all refugees entry into the U.S. for a four month period, blocks citizens from seven Middle Eastern and African countries for the next 90-days and instills a ban on refugees from Syria indefinitely, which comes days after he signed an order to begin construction on a Mexican border wall. Johnson touched on each of those decisions, while also raising the plight of African-Americans and women.

166 Skulls Found In Mexico


Mexican police discovered a mass grave in the Mexico city of Veracruz, which contained the remains of 166 people. The city, located on the Eastern coast of the country, has been heavily plagued by cartel-related violence, as it's used as a pathway to transport drugs to the U.S.

Veracruz attorney general, Jorge Winckler, held a press conference, where he revealed that it's believed that the bodies have been buried for two years. He also stated, "Aside from human remains, we have found more than 200 items of clothing, 114 pieces of identification, as well as different accessories and personal items."

Last March, a mass grave containing 250 skulls was found in the same city, and it was reported that there were 30,000 murders across Mexico in 2017 - the highest in a year since 1997. According to the national register of missing people, over 37,000 people are also currently unaccounted for across the country.
