Violence in the border city of Ciudad Juárez continues at an
alarming rate this year with a 74.6 percent increase in homicides during the
first three months of this year over last.
During
the first three months of this year, officials reported a 74.6 percent increase
in homicides compared to the same three-month period of 2018. January of 2019
saw an increase of 33 percent, February — 118.6 percent, and March — 58.1
percent more homicides than the previous year, according to local
media reports.
From
2008 to 2011 a cartel war broke out making Ciudad Juárez the most violent city
in the world. Cartels fought a bloody war over dominance of the valuable city
which sits just across the border from El Paso, Texas. The violence
engulfing the city today is attributed to an ongoing turf war between rival
drug cartels. Those factions are the Juarez cartel—La Linea against the Sinaloa
cartel’s La Gente Nueva. The cartel factions are fighting for control over
smuggling routes into the United States.
Local
gangs aligned with the major cartels carry on the fight for the lucrative
street-level markets. The bitter turf battle is not only occurring in Ciudad
Juárez but also throughout the state of Chihuahua.
The
new criminal justice system implemented nationwide in 2016 is also blamed as
many street-level dealers and users are in and out of custody rather quickly—
only to become involved in homicide cases over drug disputes. Several governors
and state attorneys general admitted to Breitbart News that the new justice
system is 10 to 15 years from being properly functional due to the drastic
procedural overhauls.
During
the first three months of this year, the following homicides have been
registered:
January 108,
February 95,
March 113
After
a downward trend in 2015, homicides in Ciudad Juarez have been on a steady
uptick.

5 Federal
Courts on Mexican Border Lead Nation in Criminal Convictions
The five
federal court districts that sit along the U.S.-Mexico border were the top five
districts in the country for the number of defendants they convicted and
sentenced to imprisonment in fiscal 2018, according to data published by the
Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Texas ranked No. 1. It convicted
8,179 criminal defendants and sentenced 7,126 of them to imprisonment in the
last fiscal year.
It was
followed by the Southern District of Texas (6,140/5,939), the Southern District
of California (5,723/5,470), the District of Arizona (4,731/4,378) and the
District of New Mexico (3,979/3,923).
The
combined jurisdictions of these five federal district courts cover the
U.S.-Mexico border from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico.
The other
five U.S. District Courts that rounded out the top 10 were the Southern
District of Florida (2,279/2,104), the Northern District of Texas
(1,504/1,431), the Middle District of Florida (1,568/1,388), the Southern
District of New York (1,369/1,283) and the Central District of California
(1,141/946).
The 7,126
criminals convicted and sentenced to imprisonment by the Western District of
Texas in fiscal 2018 were more than five times the 1,283 convicted and
sentenced to imprisonment by the Southern District of New York.
In fiscal
2018, according to Table D-7-1 published by the Administrative Office of the
U.S. Courts, a total of 79,704 criminal defendants had their cases disposed of
by U.S. District Courts.
Of these,
only 6,595 -- or 8.3 percent -- were not convicted. That included 6,275 whose
cases were dismissed, 237 who were acquitted in a jury trial and 83 who were
acquitted in a bench trial.
The other
73,109 criminal defendants were convicted and sentenced to some type of
penalty. Of these, 1,330 were only fined, and 6,437 were released under
supervision and 65,342 were sentenced to imprisonment.
In the
nation-leading Western District of Texas, the court disposed of the cases of
8,470 defendants. Of these, only 291 -- or 3.4 percent -- were not convicted.
These included 273 whose cases were dismissed, 14 who were acquitted in a jury
trial and 4 who were acquitted in a bench trial.
The 8,179
defendants who were convicted and sentenced in the Western District of Texas
included 10 who were only fined, 1,043 who were released under supervision and
7,126 who were sentenced to imprisonment.
The most
common alleged offenses in the Western District of Texas, not surprisingly,
were immigration-related, according to Table D-9-1 published by the
Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Of the 8,470 defendants whose cases
the court disposed of in fiscal 2018, 4,995 were categorized as "improper
reentry by an alien." Another 860 were described as "other
immigration offenses."
Other
defendants whose cases were disposed of by the Western District of Texas,
however, included 772 cases involving alleged non-marijuana-related drug
offenses; 727 alleged marijuana-related offenses; 337 alleged offenses
involving firearms or explosives; 306 alleged cases of fraud; 82 alleged sex
offenses; 47 alleged assaults; 46 alleged cases of burglary, larceny or theft;
and 17 alleged robberies.
There is
a historical lesson to be learned from this data.
In fiscal
year 2000, according to Table 2 in the United States Attorneys' Annual
Statistical Report for that year, U.S. district courts found 57,746 criminal
defendants convicted of crimes. The five top districts that year for defendants
found guilty were the Western District of Texas (4,129), the Southern District
of Texas (3,984), the Southern District of California (3,960), Arizona (3,177)
and the Southern District of Florida (2,047).
New
Mexico finished sixth (1,689).
In fiscal
2010, according to Table 2 in that year's U.S. Attorneys' report, U.S. district
courts found 81,934 defendants were convicted of crimes. The top five districts
that year were the Southern District of Texas (8,406), the Western District of
Texas (8,218), Arizona (5,715), the Southern District of California (4,773) and
New Mexico (3,905).
Southern
Florida dropped to sixth (2,570).
The
lesson: The political leaders of this nation have known for years that the sort
of criminal activity that is prosecuted in federal courts -- as demonstrated by
the government's own data on federal court convictions -- is disproportionately
focused along the nation's southern border.
And they
have not fixed it.

“Part of the problem, Santorum said, has
been the arrival of millions of unskilled immigrants — legal and illegal — in
the United States. "American workers deserve a shot at [good] jobs,"
Santorum said. "Over the last 20 years, we have brought into this country,
legally and illegally, 35 MILLION mostly unskilled workers. And the
result, over that same period of time, workers' wages and family incomes have

General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of
migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per
year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials
only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two
