When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

PELOSI'S OPEN BORDERS - ILLEGALS WALK RIGHT OVER TEXAS ' UNDEFENDED BORDER
CBP: Illegal Families Crossing Border at a Rate That Will ‘More Than Double Last Year’s Record Number’
(CNSNews.com) – Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said Tuesday that at the rate that illegal immigrant family units have entered the U.S. in the last 30 days, they will more than double last year’s record number of family units.
“At the border, we face changing trends in illegal crossings that impact security, exploit our laws and challenge our resources and personnel. To put this aspect of our mission in context, one day of crossings, last Monday, December 3rd highlights the trends that we are confronting,” McAleenan said in his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“On that day, we saw the highest numbers of arrivals at our southwest border in years – 3,029 illegal entries in inadmissible persons arrived at our border last Monday. Eighty-five percent of them crossed illegally. CBP apprehended or encountered 1,731 members of family groups and 350 unaccompanied children,” he said.
“This means that the illegal crossings and inadmissibles last Monday included over 1,100 children in a single day. This snapshot is emblematic of the steady trends that we’ve been seeing for many months - increasing crossings overall with a dramatic surge in a percentage of family units and a growing proportion of central Americans coming to our border,” McAleenan added.
“More broadly for the last 30 days, we’ve seen over 2,000 unlawful entries between ports and undocumented arrivals at ports of entry each day. Over 1,070 family members are arriving on a consistent basis. To put this in perspective, we’ll more than double last year’s record number of family units at this rate,” he said.
McAleenan also addressed the notion that the current numbers are lower than historical peaks and that some have concluded that there is no crisis. On the contrary, he said, “it is indeed both a border security and a humanitarian crisis.”
“I’ve heard a number of commentators observe that even at these levels, the numbers we are seeing are lower than historical peaks and as a result, there suggests that we are seeing at the borders today is not a crisis. I fundamentally disagree with this assessment. From the experience of our agents and officers on the ground, it is indeed both a border security and a humanitarian crisis,” he said.
“What many looking at the total numbers fail to understand is the difference in what is happening now in terms of who is crossing, the risks that they are facing in the journey and the consequences for our system,” the commissioner said.
“First, up until this decade, most of those crossing the border illegally were single adult males. Now the majority crossing are family units and unaccompanied children. This was fewer than 10 percent up until the year 2012 – 59 percent of crossings last month were families and unaccompanied children,” he said.
The commissioner said illegal immigrants from Central America crossing the border have surpassed those from Mexico.
“Second, migration from Mexico remains at historically low levels while the majority of illegal border crossings now come from three countries in Central America: Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Central America has now exceeded Mexican migration four out of the last five years and reached 70 percent of crossings last month,” he said.
“November was the first month in recorded history where more people arrived from another country than Mexico, with Guatemala exceeding Mexico by 3,000. The third major trend is a dramatic increase in claims of fears of return or asylum claims. Between 2000 and 2013, fewer than one percent of those encountered at our border claimed asylum,” McAleenan said.
“Last year at ports of entry, the number of asylum claims more than doubled to 38,269. Nearly 31 percent of those deemed inadmissible at ports of entry claimed asylum,” he added.
The commissioner credited the “increases in demographic changes in crossings” to vulnerabilities in immigration law which are “well-known to smugglers and migrants.”
“These weaknesses in our laws now represent the most significant factors impacting border security, and they include the asylum gap where approximately 80 percent of individuals meet the initial credible fear bar in the asylum process while only 10 to 20 percent are found to have valid asylum claims at the end of their immigration court proceedings,” McAleenan added.
Government reports indicate that more than 1,100 Central American migrants cross illegally per day into the U.S. along the southwest border with Mexico. Breitbart News traveled to the Rio Grande Valley Sector in South Texas where hundreds of migrants cross daily.
Breitbart News’ Border/Cartel Chronicles Editor-in-Chief Brandon Darby and journalist Ildefonso Ortiz traveled to the Texas-Mexico border to film groups of Central American migrants as they crossed from Reynosa, Mexico, and entered the U.S. The trip followed reports of hundreds of migrants crossing the border in this sector on a daily basis. Darby and Ortiz interviewed some of the families to learn why they are making the hazardous and costly journey to the U.S.
Following the interviews, Darby and Ortiz discussed the impact these migrants have on keeping wages down for Americans seeking lower-skilled employment. The migrants are currently able to exploit loopholes in U.S. immigration and human trafficking laws by attempting to claim asylum. They also discussed the revenue stream these migrants represent to the Mexican cartels.
“You think about U.S. workers,” Darby said, “and especially low-income U.S. workers — you think about U.S. sovereignty — and you think ‘This is messed up.'”
“And then, on the other hand,” Darby continued, “you think, ‘well, you can’t really blame them. We have policies that allow it.'”
One of the women said she came to the U.S. because of domestic violence and the inability to see justice in her own country. She did not explain why she did not seek asylum in Mexico or some other country along her route.
“That woman we just spoke with,” Ortiz injected, “she said she’s requesting asylum because of a domestic situation at home. She’s claiming that there is no justice in her home country and that her husband was not going to be held accountable because he had money and power.”
About these types of crossings, Darby continued, “We’re going to see more and more of these groups come all evening long, and we’re going to see it tomorrow, and we’re going to see it the next day. And every day this is going to happen in a steady stream — right here, on this road, and these people are going to come and turn themselves in.”
While the nation currently focuses its attention on the caravan largely camped in Tijuana, more than 1,000 migrants per day cross the border from the Rio Grande Valley to the Yuma Sectors. A large percentage of these are Central American migrants who are not part of the infamous group.
In the Rio Grande Valley Sector alone, 41,470 crossed the border during the first two months of Fiscal Year 2019, which began on October 1. Of those, more than 30,000 were family units and nearly 8,000 were unaccompanied minors, according to the November Southwest Border Migration Report published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The largest number of these family units and unaccompanied minors came to the U.S. from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
In this single southern Texas border sector, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 700 mostly Central American migrants during this two-month period, the report indicates. Nationally, Border Patrol agents apprehended an average of more than 1,100 per day.
“These people had to go through the Gulf Cartel to get here,” Darby said about the migrants they encountered. “And, the Gulf Cartel made a lot of money off of every one of those people.”
Border Patrol officials have previously told Breitbart News that the cartels charge between $5,000 and $10,000 per person to be smuggled from Central America to the U.S. Looking at one group of migrants being processed by Border Patrol agents, Darby said, “That’s at least $100,000 for the Gulf Cartel.”

Rep. Scalise: Pro-Border Security Democrats ‘Being Held Hostage by Extreme
“Extreme radicals on the left,” like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are preventing mainstream Democrats from cooperating with efforts to secure the nation’s southern border, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) said Monday.
Appearing on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. Scalise was asked to comment on a video of Rep. Pelosi saying she would not support funding for President Donald Trump’s “immoral” border wall – even if it meant getting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which would allow illegal alien minors to remain in the U.S.
Scalise said that there are mainstream Democrats who, otherwise, would be willing to secure the border – but, they’re “being held hostage” by extremist leftwing radicals, like Pelosi, who don’t want any border security at all:
“To say that it’s immoral to protect this country – obviously, where Nancy Pelosi is right now is with the open borders crowd, the people that don’t want any borders, that don’t want ICE agents. She’s been for abolishing ICE.
“And, so, I think what’s happening is, right now, the Democrats in the House are being held hostage by the extreme radicals on the left.
“This isn’t mainstream, by the way. Most of this country, wherever they are on DACA, believes that we ought to secure the border. You know, let’s deal with immigration.”
radical element to even consider them:
“The president, by the way, was willing to put a lot of things on the table to negotiate with Democrats in exchange for wall funding. And, they walked away and they said they don’t want to do anything, because the extreme left doesn’t want to do anything because they want open borders.
“And, that’s dilemma where Nancy Pelosi is right now.”
Scalise: ‘Every Single Day’ at Least 10 Known Terrorists Are Captured Trying to Cross Our Border
During an interview with “Life, Liberty and Levin” host Mark Levin, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) discussed the importance of securing the United States borders.
Scalise noted the large number of criminals in the migrant caravans that are attempting to come into the country, applauding President Donald Trump’s efforts to strengthen border security.
“It’s incredibly important that we secure our border, ” Scalise told Fox News Channel’s Levin. “I applaud President Trump for being willing to do it.”
He continued, “[E]very single day in this country, at least ten known terrorists are captured trying to cross into America through our border. Why are we trying to secure the border? To keep America safe.”
A Mexican state judge in Yucatan ordered the release of a recently captured cartel leader who is wanted in the U.S. He is wanted in the U.S. in connection to a large criminal indictment targeting the leadership of Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel. Mexican federal authorities received notice that an extradition request was in the works and rearrested him under federal law.
Yucatan State Judge Luis Edwin Mugarte Guerrero ordered the release of Eleazar “El Chelelo” Medina Rojas, a long-time member of Los Zetas. Yucatan state police in Merida arrested him as he attempted to escape from federal authorities. Documents from the case point to Medina Rojas using fake documents that identified him as Maximo Tomas Roberto to avoid being captured.
Moments after the ruling, federal authorities and Interpol agents moved in to re-arrest the man known as Chelelo in connection with a U.S. federal indictment. The federal authorities took Medina Rojas to the Altiplano federal prison where he will be held until U.S and Mexican authorities complete the extradition process.

Mexican Presidents Deny They Took Bribes from El Chapo
Two former Mexican presidents publicly denied taking bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel. The statements came after the legal defense for JoaquÃn “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera made contrary claims this week.
The drug lord is facing several money laundering and drug trafficking charges at a federal trial in New York. In his opening statement, defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman spoke of bribes “including the very top, the current president of Mexico and the former.”
Soon after the statements became public, Mexico’s government issued a statement denying the allegations. Eduardo Sanchez, the spokesman for current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said the statements were false and “defamatory.”
El gobierno de @EPN persiguió, capturó y extraditó al criminal JoaquÃn Guzmán Loera. Las afirmaciones atribuidas a su abogado son completamente falsas y difamatorias
Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon took to social media to personally deny the allegations, claiming that neither El Chapo or the Sinaloa Cartel paid him bribes.
Under Guzman’s leadership, the Sinaloa Cartel became the largest drug trafficking organization in the world with influence in every major U.S. city.
The allegations against Pena Nieto are not new. In 2016, Breitbart News reported on an investigation by Mexican journalists which revealed how Juarez Cartel operators funneled money into the 2012 presidential campaign. The investigation was carried out by Mexican award-winning journalist Carmen Aristegui and her team. The subsequent scandal became known as “Monexgate” for the cash cards that were given out during Peña Nieto’s campaign. The allegations against Pena Nieto went largely unreported by U.S. news outlets.

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers assigned to the Arizona border with Mexico seized nearly $2.5 million in drugs, including 43 pounds of heroin, during five separate inspections this week. In addition to the heroin, officers seized 240 pounds of methamphetamine, 23 pounds of cocaine, and a quarter-pound of fentanyl for a total value of $2,419,940.
The incidents began on Wednesday, November 5 when CBP officers at Arizona’s Port of Nogales at the Dennis DeConcini Crossing came in contact with a 52-year-old Green Valley, Arizona man. The officers referred the man to a secondary inspection station to carry out a search of his Dodge pick-up truck. A narcotics detection canine alerted to a scent it was trained to detect within the truck’s bed, according to information obtained from CBP officials.
Officers found approximately 70 packages of drugs. The haul included more than 49 pounds of meth worth an estimated $148,000; almost 43 pounds of heroin, worth more than $1.15M; and a quarter-pound of fentanyl, worth more than $3,400. Officers seized the drugs and turned the man over to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
That same day, Border Patrol agents assigned to the Yuma Sector’s Welton Station working the Interstate 8 Immigration Checkpoint came in contact with a U.S. citizen 28-year-old female and her nine-year-old daughter in a Ford Explorer. The agents referred her to a secondary station for further secondary inspection, officials stated.
A narcotics detection canine alerted to a scent and agents found 52 cellophane-wrapped packages concealed inside the vehicle. The packages tested positive for methamphetamine. The drugs weighed 59.18 pounds and were valued at $177,540. Agents arrested the driver on smuggling charges and turned her nine-year-old daughter over to Child Protective Services.
The next seizure occurred on Thursday, when CBP officers assigned to the Port of San Luis, Arizona, came in contact with a 31-year-old male from San Luis driving a Ford truck. The officers referred the man to a secondary inspection station. A drug canine alerted to a scent inside the truck’s spare tire. A search of the tire resulted in the discovery of nearly 60 packages of methamphetamine worth almost $199,000. Officers turned the man over to Homeland Security Investigators.
The next incident also occurred on Thursday, when CBP officers assigned to Arizona’s Port of Nogales at the Dennis DeConcini Crossing came in contact with a 35-year-old male from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. The man was driving a Nissan SUV. Officers referred him to a secondary inspection where a narcotics canine alerted to the vehicle’s dashboard. Officers searched the area and subsequently found nearly 23 pounds of cocaine valued at almost $546,000. Officers seized the drugs and vehicle and handed the man over to investigators.
The most recent seizure occurred on December 7 when Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to Wellton station stopped a suspicious vehicle in Dome Valley. A lawful permanent resident alien from Mexico drove the vehicle. Border Patrol agents deployed a canine which led to the discovery of 90 concealed packages of methamphetamine inside the vehicle. The drugs weighed 65.34 pounds and have a street value of $196,020, officials stated.

MEXICANS ARE THE CULTURE OF THIEVERY. THEY NOT ONLY STEAL MILLIONS OF JOBS WITH STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY, THEY STEAL ANYTHING THEY CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON.
"Mexicans cheat, distribute drugs, lie, forge documents, STEAL and kill a s if it’s a normal way of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to America’s culture.: FROSTY WOOLDRIDGE
One of the most serious of those crimes involves the theft of the identities of millions of United States citizens and lawfully-admitted immigrants whose citizenship, lawful immigrant status and good names are valued commodities that provide millions of illegal aliens with a sort of “camouflage.” MICHAEL CUTLER
With crime soaring, rampant homelessness, sanctuary state status attracting the highest illegal immigrant population in the country and its “worst state in the U.S. to do business” ranking for more than a decade, California and its expansive, debt-ridden, progressive government is devolving into a third-world country. JANET LEVY
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
"Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become." FAIR President Dan Stein
It needs U.S. support for its war on cartels. Instead of insulting American citizens, Mexico should confront directly the reasons why its people are so desperate to leave, and do all in its power to destroy the cartels that are slowly killing the nation. That includes defunding the murderous gangs by halting illegal immigration.
“Concern over immigrant welfare use is justified, as households headed by non-citizens use means-tested welfare at high rates. Non-citizens in the data include illegal immigrants, long-term temporary visitors like guest workers, and permanent residents who have not naturalized. While barriers to welfare use exist for these groups, it has not prevented them from making extensive use of the welfare system, often receiving benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children,” added the Washington-based immigration think tank.

THE DEVASTATING COST OF MEXICO’S WELFARE STATE IN AMERICA’S OPEN BORDERS
“The Democrats had abandoned their working-class base to chase what they pretended was a racial group when what they were actually chasing was the momentum of unlimited migration”. DANIEL GREENFIELD / FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE
MONTERREY, Nuevo León — Gulf Cartel hitmen tracked down and murdered a woman who is believed to be one of their former members who had gone into hiding in this border state. The cartel gunmen left the woman’s body on a dirt road and used a knife to stab a posterboard riddled with numerous threats.
A Nuevo León law enforcement source revealed to Breitbart Texas that a team of gunmen from Mexico’s Gulf Cartel (CDG) drove a pickup to the Bosques de La Silla in the suburb of Juarez to dump the woman’s body and flee the area. The posterboard identified the woman as “Luna” or “La Luna”.
The woman whose name has not yet been confirmed was found facing down on a dirt road. She had been tortured and is believed to have been murdered in another place and was dumped in the area. She had a tattoo with the name Renata in her right hand.
The message on the posterboard stated: “The world is small traitorous Luna this will happen to those who stand against the Metros from Reynosa wether its mafia or government, a betrayal is not forgiven. Atte Jefe Primito (Boss Little Cousin) and Comandante Mono (Commander Monkey)”.
Also over the weekend, a group of gunmen, also from the Gulf Cartel, under the leadership of Commander 23 placed several banners in the state of San Luis Potosi warning about upcoming murders targeting robbers and extortionists pointing to a shift in strategy by the Gulf Cartel in the region.
MIGUEL ALEMAN, Tamaulipas — A series of fierce gun battles between the Mexican Army and Gulf Cartel spread terror among residents of two border towns.
The battles took place recently in Ciudad Mier, directly south of Starr County, Texas. According to information obtained by Breitbart Texas, a military squad spotted a convoy of about 10 SUVs with cartel gunmen near the town square.
When the Mexican military tried to stop the approaching gunmen, they came under fire–leading to a fierce battle where the soldiers killed one cartel shooter as the rest managed an escape. Authorities called for reinforcements and sent a large contingent aimed at tracking down the remainders.
Military forces and cartel gunmen clashed once more near the town of Guerrero, also immediately south of Starr County. The large-scale gun battle killed at least four cartel men, however, residents reported finding numerous puddles of blood throughout the area and several SUVs damaged by gunfire.

The Mexican military, in coordination with the Baja California Norte State Preventive Police (PEP), discovered a narco-tunnel leading into California late last week.
The tunnel was discovered on September 20 in the rural farming community of Ejido Jacume, located in the outskirts of Tecate–across the border from Jacumba Hot Springs, California. The tunnel was discovered after security forces received an anonymous report about the location. Authorities found the remote property with a residential structure containing the tunnel. The illicit infrastructure was operational for at least two years, according to local media reports. Officials said two weapons were located inside the residence: one rifle, and one handgun. No arrests were reported.
The cross-border tunnel was the fifth discovered during the current administration of Governor Francisco Arturo Vega de Lamadrid as part of the “Cruzada por la Seguridad, Tarea de Todos” (“Crusade for Security, everyone’s task”), according to the governor’s office.
Breitbart Texas reported on several incidents in the northern border region of Baja California and the United States. Police discovered a major drug lab on August 25, resulting in the seizure of four tons of methamphetamine. A fentanyl drug lab was also recently found in nearby Mexicali, where 20,000 tablets were seized along with precursor chemicals. In April 2018, a sophisticated tunnel measuring approximately 740 yards from Mexicali to Calexico, California, was discovered by the Mexican Army and Federal Police.

GRAPHIC — Mexican Cartel Kills 10 Victims in 11 Hours
The murders took place on Saturday in a rural region of Michoacan with a growing number of crime scenes reported in the cities Nueva Italia, Apatzingan, Uruapan, and Sahuayo. While authorities did not release any formal information, intelligence sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that Los Viagras Cartel is the responsible group.
Los Viagras continues its Michoacan dominance while receiving protection from top state officials. The growing number of murder victims comes at a time when the head of Mexico’s National Security Commission Renato Sales Heredia made statements aboutpolice being a national example to follow despite their cartel collusion.

Police discovered seven heads abandoned in an ice cooler Friday morning in the rural community of Bácum, Sonora–sparking fears of an escalation in an ongoing territorial cartel war.
Security elements of the State Public Security Police (PESP) and investigators assigned to the State Attorney General’s Office responded to a report of heads in a cooler at approximately 4 am, according to local media. Authorities determined that all victims were males between the ages of 25 and 40 and were believed kidnapped several hours earlier in the town of Francisco Javier Mina.
According to authorities and Breitbart Texas law enforcement contacts, the Friday morning executions and the general escalation in violence in the region can be attributed to a territorial dispute between “Los Salazar,” aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, and Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). This dispute began in 2017 as CJNG moved into southern Sonora to challenge the Sinaloa Cartel’s dominance over routes to the U.S. drug markets.
According to local media reports, the small community of Bácum has registered 150 homicides.

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — Cartel gunmen escalated the number of executions in capital city of this Mexican border state. Hitmen began a new tactic where they are now raiding homes early in the morning. The raids are designed to surprise their sleeping victims and kill them at point-blank range.
This week, Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas, witnessed a series of executions where a group of assassins arrived at the houses of their victims at dawn and used assault rifles to kill them. The first execution took place in the Horacio Terán neighborhood in the southern part of the city where 52-year-old Hortencia “N” and an unidentified man died after being shot three times in the head.
According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by state authorities, neighbors reported hearing several gunshots at 6 a.m. so they called the authorities. By the time authorities and emergency personnel arrived, the victims were already dead and the gunmen escaped from the scene.
The double murder occurred at about the same time that another group of hit men killed an ex-convict named Ricardo “El Riki” Gonzalez Villanueva. According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by authorities, the gunmen also caught the victim by surprise at his home when two cartel hitmen entered and shot him multiple times in the head.
Also this week, a group of hitmen executed two men outside a house in the Luis Echeverria neighborhood. The gunmen shot their victims with machine guns at close range before fleeing. According to police sources, the executions are related to the territorial disputes between rival factions of Los Zetas cartel called Northeastern Cartel or Cartel Del Noreste and Old School Zetas or Zetas Vieja Escuela.

Prescriptions for opioids such as Percocet, Oxycontin and Vicodin skyrocketed from 76 million in 1991 to nearly 259 million in 2012. What are the numbers and profits now?
OPIOID AMERICA: CHINA AND MEXICO PARTNER TO ADDICT AMERICA
American middle-class is addicted, poor, jobless and suicidal…. Thank the corrupt government for surrendering our borders to 40 million looting Mexicans and then handing the bills to middle America?
“While drug distributors have paid a total of $400 million in fines over the past 10 years, their combined revenue during this same period was over $5 trillion.”
“Opioids have ravaged families and devastated communities across the country. Encouraging their open use undermines the rule of law and will do nothing to quell their continued abuse, let alone the problems underlying mass addiction.”
MCALLEN, Texas -- The capture of three top Mexican drug cartel bosses on the U.S. side of the Texas border helps to illustrate the irony of how even narco's seek refuge from the violence in Mexico.
LOS ANGELES – GATEWAY FOR THE LA RAZA MEX DRUG CARTELS
NARCOMEX in LA RAZA-OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES – Western gateway for the MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS and MEXICO’S SECOND LARGEST CITY.
Federal agents raided Q.T Fashion and numerous other businesses in the downtown fashion district Wednesday, cracking down on a scheme that cartels are increasingly relying on to get their profits — from drug sales, kidnappings and other illegal activities — back to Mexico, authorities said.
Nine people were arrested in raids targeting 75 locations, and $90 million was seized — $70 million in cash. In one condo, agents found $35 million stuffed in banker boxes. At a mansion in Bel-Air, they discovered $10 million in duffel bags.
"Los Angeles has become the epicenter of narco-dollar money laundering with couriers regularly bringing duffel bags and suitcases full of cash to many businesses," said Robert E. Dugdale, the assistant U.S. attorney in charge of federal criminal prosecutions in Los Angeles.
The cartel war raging Tijuana continues with 1,789 homicides registered as of September 19, now breaking the 2017 record of 1,781.
The record-breaking year persists despite Mexico City’s deployment of military assets to the region in February to quell cartel violence. The bloodshed is generally rated to turf wars involving Cártel Tijuana Nueva Generación (CTNG), aligned with El Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, against the Sinaloa Cartel. In some areas, rival factions within the Sinaloa Cartel are fighting for control of the lucrative street-level markets and smuggling routes into the United States. Those involved in the killings are primarily low-level dealers, lookouts, customers, and enforcers. Many of the street-level dealers are targets of rip-crews looking for cash and drugs.
One of the factors blamed in Tijuana is that only 8% of homicide suspects are detained, according to the president of Fundación EduPaz, Francisco GarcÃa Burgos. He said that the number of unsolved homicides, combined with the responsible parties still on the streets, created an environment where citizens are fearful of reporting crimes due to reprisals. Breitbart Texas previously reported on this problem when 132 of the first homicides registered only produced 11 suspects detained. The 11 were from only five registered homicides, according to local media.
Cartels fighting in the city do so with almost total impunity as demonstrated early Thursday morning when alleged gunmen opened fire from two vehicles against buildings housing the state attorney general’s homicide and forensics units. No injuries were reported, but the gunfire caused damage to windows, according to local media. Ministerial police were inside the facilities at the time of the drive-by shooting.
A recent photo captured by photojournalist Gustavo Suárez of Frontera has been used among Mexican social media accounts to demonstrate the indifference some citizens apparently feel due to the constant cartel bloodshed. The photograph was captured at a taco stand in colonia Murúa MartÃnez where a smiling family can be see dining in the foreground amid an active homicide scene.
