Federal immigration agents arrested 195 criminals living in the U.S. illegally during a five-day worksite enforcement operation around Los Angeles Sunday through Thursday.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers and special agents took a total of 212 people into custody during 122 notices of inspection to businesses throughout the southern California region.
ICE said 195 of the arrestees were convicted criminals, had been issued a final order of removal and failed to leave the country, or had been previously removed from the U.S. and returned illegally.
About 100 in that group have been previously convicted of violent offenses, including child sex crimes, weapons violations, and assault, as well as serious misdemeanor offenses.
ICE Director Thomas Homan defended the agency's detainment of 27 noncriminal illegal immigrants and said those people were not the target of their enforcement operations. Due to Los Angeles' sanctuary city policies, which bar federal officers from picking up individuals at the jail, ICE is forced to find them at their home or workplace or find them in other ways.
"Because sanctuary jurisdictions like Los Angeles prevent ICE from arresting criminal aliens in the secure confines of a jail, our officers are forced to conduct at-large arrests in the community, putting officers, the general public, and the aliens at greater risk and increasing the incidents of collateral arrests," Homan said in a statement . "Fewer jail arrests mean more arrests on the street, and that also requires more resources, which is why we are forced to send additional resources to those areas to meet operational needs and officer safety."
The interior enforcement agency conducted 1,360 of these I-9 audits in fiscal year 2017, and carried out notices of inspection at 77 northern California businesses in January and February.
Notices of inspection informs businesses that ICE will audit their hiring records to verify employees' hiring eligibility. Businesses receive three days to produce papers confirming its employees' eligibility to work, and if they do not, immigration agents will conduct an inspection for compliance.
"Critics argue that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would have an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien population." JOHN BINDER
"Additionally, under current legal immigration laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien population would be allowed to bring an unlimited number of their foreign relatives to the U.S. This population could boost already high legal immigration levels to an unprecedented high. An amnesty for illegal aliens would also likely triple the number of border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border." JOHN BINDER
VIDEO: ‘F*ck All of You!’ California Open Borders Activists Surround DHS Agents

A group of open borders activists blocked and surrounded federal immigration officials in downtown Los Angeles, California on Thursday, preventing the agents from accessing a nearby detention center.
Coordinated by a slew of open borders groups, about 50 illegal immigrant activists stopped a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) van of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while they were on their way to a detention center.
The open borders activists shouted, “Stop the deportations!” and other pro-illegal immigration chants, as captured by Los Angeles Times reporter Marcus Yam.
“Hey hey! Ho ho! Deportations have got to go!” the activists can be heard shouting at ICE agents. Another open borders activists shouted at Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, saying “F*ck all you n*ggas!”
Organizers with the open borders groups told the Times that the blocking of the DHS van was to protest the “machinery of deportation.”
“The original goal was to really loudly proclaim that we’re not going to stand for ICE destroying families … on Valentine’s Day of all days,” said Rabbi Aryeh Cohen, who is on the board of an organizing group.
“When the ICE/DHS van came, our group of people decided it was time to put their bodies in front of the machinery of deportation,” he said.
The “open borders” lobby has become increasingly outraged at the lack of immediate amnesty for the 12 to 30 million illegal aliens living across the United States.
Last month, for example, a group of activists with the George Soros-funded group “United We Dream” held a mock funeral where they blasted President Trump and conservatives for “killing our dreams” by not immediately giving them amnesty, as Breitbart News reported.
Critics argue that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would have an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — pecifically black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien population.
Additionally, under current legal immigration laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien population would be allowed to bring an unlimited number of their foreign relatives to the U.S. This population could boost already high legal immigration levels to an unprecedented high. An amnesty for illegal aliens would also likely triple the number of border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Jenks further noted that both parties are beholden to special interests supportive of “mass migration.”

CAN WE GET A TOWN HALL FOR THE VICTIMS OF MS-13'S 207 MURDERS?
February 22, 2018
The unimpeachable moral authority of murdered teenagers somehow doesn't extend to MS-13's murder spree.
As MSNBC's Joy Reid sneered after President Trump's State of the Union address, “He gives a speech tonight, in which he makes it sound like the biggest issue in the United States, the biggest threat is MS-13, a gang nobody that doesn't watch Fox News has ever heard of. So he makes it sound like they're the biggest threat.”
No one hears about it because the media maintains an embargo on the story. (Yes, we don't have a free press. We have fake news narrative operations controlled by a handful of major corporations.)
207 MS-13 members were charged with murder. In addition we found more than 100 accused of conspiracy/racketeering, and dozens of others for drug trafficking, sex trafficking, attempted murder, sexual assaults, and extortion.
While most of the reports of MS-13 suspects in our case set did not include information on the immigration status of the individual, we could determine that 126 of the 506 suspects (and 38 of the 207 murder suspects) were illegal aliens.
The median age of MS-13 gang members identified was 23, and suspects ranged in age from 14 to 57.
The median age of their victims was 19, and victims ranged in age from 14 to 74. Sixty of the victims were under the age of 18, including 52 of the murder victims.
120 of the 506 MS-13 suspects in our case set arrived as UACs (Unaccompanied Alien Children), including 48 of the murder suspects.
The location of these MS-13 crimes corresponds with locations of large numbers of UACs who were resettled by the federal government.
Just dreamers with a dream of beheading, torturing and mutilating teenagers. The media can't be bothered to talk about their victims because it's politically inconvenient. Many of the perps are illegal aliens or undocumented beheaders. The victims aren't people they could envision as their kids. And reporting on MS-13's crimes endangers their push for illegal alien amnesty. It also shines a harsh light on the policies of Obama Inc.
But while CNN won't have that town hall, conservatives should. Imagine President Trump hearing more from the Latino parents of MS-13 victims. The media would have to grit its teeth and cover the story.
Trump demands border wall to block vicious MS-13 gang 'killers' who flow back into the U.S. 'like water' despite deportations
President Donald Trump said Friday that MS-13 gang members are re-entering the United States as fast as the government deports them
'El Salvador just takes our money, and Mexico must help MORE with this problem. We need The Wall!' he tweeted
MS-13 is a gang with tens of thousands of members in the U.S., whose motto is 'Kill, rape, control'
Trump said earlier this month that the only way to defeat MS-13 is to change America's 'sad, weak and pathetic' immigration laws

President Donald Trump renewed his war of words against the Salvadoran gang MS-13 on Friday, saying his long-promised southern border wall would stem the tide of murderers and drug dealers streaming into the U.S.
'MS-13 gang members are being removed by our
Great ICE and Border Patrol Agents by the
thousands, but these killers come back in from
El Salvador, and through Mexico , like water,'
the president tweeted.
'El Salvador just takes our money, and Mexico must help MORE with this problem. We need The Wall!'
President Donald Trump went back on offense against MS-13 on Friday, complaining that a porous U.S. border is allowing the gang's members to enter the country at will
'[T]hese killers come back in from El Salvador, and through Mexico, like water,' the president tweeted
Trump said this month that in order to stop the gang, the government needs to change 'sad, weak and pathetic' immigration laws
Trump's harsh rhetoric comes as the government's Citizenship and Immigration Services agency has quietly changed its mission statement to remove a reference to the U.S. as a 'nation of immigrants.'
He said earlier this month in a video message that the only way to defeat MS-13 is to change America's 'sad, weak and pathetic' immigration laws.
In a nearly three minute video posted to Twitter, Trump outlined his plan on combating the gang, which has tens of thousands of members in at least 40 states and is responsible for a steady drumbeat of gruesome deaths in the U.S.
MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, was started in Los Angeles during the 1980s by Central American immigrants, mainly those from El Salvador. The gang later expanded to include Mexicans, Hondurans and other Central and South Americans.
According to the FBI, its motto is 'Kill, rape, control.' The gang's members engage in a wide range of criminal activity including murder, rape, prostitution, robbery, home invasions and kidnapping.

Trump has been using gang violence as leverage to emphasize the three planks of his immigration policy platform
MS-13 was declared a 'priority' last yer by the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, allowing prosecutors to pursue any legal avenue to target members
Two weeks ago Trump tied MS-13's rise to his demands for a major immigration policy overhaul.
'My Administration has identified three major priorities for creating a safe, modern and lawful immigration system: fully securing the border, ending chain migration, and canceling the visa lottery,' he said.
Trump said 'loopholes' in the immigration system has allowed for 'criminals and gang members to break into' the country because the laws are 'so weak, so sad and so pathetic.'
He said MS-13 and 'many other gangs' take advantage of those loopholes to not only enter the United States but find new recruits.
'The laws are bad and they have to be changed,' Trump declared.
MS-13 was designated as a 'priority' last year by the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said prosecutors are able to pursue any legal avenue to target the gang.

DOJ: Mexican National Allegedly Led ‘Significant Drug-Trafficking Organization’ in U.S.

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Justice Department says that a Mexican national allegedly led what it calls a “significant drug trafficking organization” inside the United States.
In an indictment filed last July, according to Justice , the 34-year-old Mexican national, Jose Raul Mendivil-Berrelleza, was charged in New Mexico along with seven others for trafficking methamphetamine and cocaine.
“The indictment was the result of a multi-agency investigation into a significant drug trafficking organization allegedly led by Jose Raul Mendivil-Berrelleza, 34, a Mexican national who resided in Hobbs, [N.M.] that allegedly imported methamphetamine and cocaine into Lea County from Mexico through Arizona,” the department said in a statement released yesterday .
“The 20-count indictment charged alleged ringleader Mendivil-Berrelleza and seven co-defendants with conspiracy, methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking, and money laundering offenses,” said the Justice Department.
“Count 1 of the indictment charged all eight defendants with participating in a conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine and cocaine in Lea County and elsewhere between Nov. 2016 and July 2017,” the department said. “Count 2 charged Mendivil-Berrelleza and Roberto Rendon-Duran, 70, of Yuma, Ariz., with participating in an international money-laundering conspiracy. Counts 3 through 5 charged certain defendants with methamphetamine trafficking offenses and Count 6 charges certain defendants with a cocaine trafficking offense. Counts 7 through 20 charged certain defendants with using communications devices to facilitate their drug trafficking activity.”
One of the defendants in the case, Jeremy W. Gough, was sentenced on Tuesday to 120 months in prison.
“On Dec. 13, 2017, Gough pled guilty to conspiracy and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute,” said the Department of Justice. “ In entering the guilty plea, Gough admitted that from Nov. 2016 through June 2017, he conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine in Hobbs by having methamphetamine delivered to Gough’s residence from his source of supply, which Gough would then deliver to other individuals in Hobbs through the use of couriers.”
Hobbs Man Sentenced to Ten Years for Federal Methamphetamine Trafficking Conviction
ALBUQUERQUE – Jeremy W. Gough, 41, of Hobbs, N.M., was sentenced today in federal court in Las Cruces, N.M., to 120 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for his methamphetamine trafficking conviction.
Gough and seven other residents of Lea County, N.M., including four Mexican nationals, and a resident of Yuma, Ariz., were charged in a 20-count indictment filed in July 2017, alleging federal drug trafficking and money laundering offenses. The indictment was the result of a multi-agency investigation into a significant drug trafficking organization allegedly led by Jose Raul Mendivil-Berrelleza, 34, a Mexican national who resided in Hobbs, that allegedly imported methamphetamine and cocaine into Lea County from Mexico through Arizona.
The investigation, which was led by the DEA and included HSI and the Lea County Drug Task Force of HIDTA Region 6, was designated as part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program, a Department of Justice program that combines the resources and unique expertise of federal agencies, along with their local counterparts, in a coordinated effort to disrupt and dismantle major drug trafficking organizations. During the course of the investigation, law enforcement authorities seized approximately 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) of pure methamphetamine and 1.45 kilograms (3.2 pounds) of cocaine, a firearm and $19,000 in cash.
The 20-count indictment charged alleged ringleader Mendivil-Berrelleza and seven co-defendants with conspiracy, methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking, and money laundering offenses. Count 1 of the indictment charged all eight defendants with participating in a conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine and cocaine in Lea County and elsewhere between Nov. 2016 and July 2017. Count 2 charged Mendivil-Berrelleza and Roberto Rendon-Duran, 70, of Yuma, Ariz., with participating in an international money-laundering conspiracy. Counts 3 through 5 charged certain defendants with methamphetamine trafficking offenses and Count 6 charges certain defendants with a cocaine trafficking offense. Counts 7 through 20 charged certain defendants with using communications devices to facilitate their drug trafficking activity.
On Dec. 13, 2017, Gough pled guilty to conspiracy and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. In entering the guilty plea, Gough admitted that from Nov. 2016 through June 2017, he conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine in Hobbs by having methamphetamine delivered to Gough’s residence from his source of supply, which Gough would then deliver to other individuals in Hobbs through the use of couriers. Gough further admitted that on Nov. 5, 2016, he possessed approximately 152 grams of methamphetamine which he intended to sell to other individuals in Hobbs.
Four of Gough’s co-defendants have previously entered guilty pleas and are pending sentencing hearings. Two co-defendants have entered pleas of not guilty and are pending trial. Miguel Angel Luna-Arredondo has yet to be arrested and is considered a fugitive. Charges in indictments and criminal complaints are only accusations, and defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case was investigated by the DEA and HSI offices in Las Cruces and the Lea County Drug Task Force with assistance from the Lea County Sheriff’s Office and the Hobbs Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Terri J. Abernathy and Dustin Segovia of the U.S. Attorney’s Las Cruces Branch Office are prosecuting the case.
The Lea County Drug Task Force is comprised of officers from the Lea County Sheriff’s Office, Hobbs Police Department, Lovington Police Department, Eunice Police Department the Tatum Police Department and the Jal Police Department, and is part of the NM HIDTA Region VI Drug Task Force. The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program was created by Congress with the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. HIDTA is a program of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) which provides assistance to federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug-trafficking regions of the United States and seeks to reduce drug trafficking and production by facilitating coordinated law enforcement activities and information sharing.
Mexican Army Arrives in Tijuana to Quell Cartel Violence

A total of 400 elements of the Mexican Army were dispatched to Tijuana to help crack down on the ongoing cartel violence that plagues the once-popular tourist destination.
Gabriel García Rincón, Commander of the II Military Region, stated that 400 arrived in Tijuana, Baja California, to support the local authorities responsible for security and the fight against organized crime which has been deemed responsible for the record-breaking violence. This announcement was made during a Day of the Army celebration according to local media outlets . Reports from social media indicate that military patrols have begun in the most affected areas where local law enforcement has been overwhelmed and are unable to stop daily killings between rival cartels. Helicopter surveillance patrols from the Baja California Attorney General’s office (PGR) have also been provided.
Commander Gabriel García Rincón stated during a press conference, “Our troops are working day and night to prevent drugs from reaching our children and our youth.” According to government sources, the Mexican Army will be working jointly with municipal and state police with the goal of bringing a halt to the violence that has terrorized this border city.
Francisco Rueda Gómez, the Secretary-General of Governance for the State of Baja California, emphasized the security arrangement will also include elements of the State Attorney General’s Office (PGR) and the Federal Police.
The mayor of Tijuana, Juan Manuel Gastélum Buenrostro, said during a recent press conference that they are having extreme difficulty in police recruiting for qualified candidates able to pass the required background checks. He mentioned that he was going to speak with the Secretary-General of Governance for the state to find a solution for the problem. Gastélum Buenrostro indicated that he was not going to ask for lower security standards but instead change the physical requirements which have eliminated numerous qualified candidates otherwise. The background check challenge has spread nationally.
Breitbart Texas has reported extensively about the ongoing cartel violence affecting the city. In 2017, Tijuana registered 1,734–smashing the 2016 record of 910. The murder rate continues to climb as rival drug cartels battle over control of key trafficking routes and street-level distribution, according to local media reports . The escalation can be attributed to the hostilities between the Sinaloa Cartel and their one-time ally, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).

JUDICIAL WATCH
A startling drug trafficking case out of south Florida is especially disturbing because the illegal immigrant caught with more than half a million dollars in crystal methamphetamine had been deported three times in three months shortly before the drug bust. A few months after the third deportation, the Mexican national returned to the United States with a partner and a vehicle stuffed with thousands of grams of pure crystal meth. The drugs have a street value of about $560,000, according to estimates issued by federal authorities.
The thrice deported illegal immigrant, Saul Bustos Bustos, and his partner in crime, fellow Mexican Irepan Juanchi Salgado, got arrested when they tried to sell five kilograms of crystal meth to undercover Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents in Miami. The exchange occurred in November and this week both men pled guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute drugs. “During the transaction, the defendants, who possessed a total of 3,717 grams of 98% pure crystal methamphetamine, worked together to transfer the drugs from their vehicle to the undercover officer,” according to a statement from the Department of Justice. “Bustos Bustos also pled guilty to illegal reentry after removal, after reentering the United States subsequent to removal on April 13, 2017, July 6, 2017, and July 19, 2017.”
It’s not clear how or where Bustos Bustos entered the country after getting deported, but court documents reveal he drove from Atlanta with the drugs as part of an operation based in Georgia and New York. On November 28, the two Mexican men drove to a restaurant in the Miami Dade County city of Hialeah to make the sale. The customer, an undercover DEA agent, followed the drug dealers to a warehouse to complete the transfer and the Mexican men got arrested. Bustos Bustos is scheduled to be sentenced on March 29 and faces life in prison. Salgado’s sentencing date has not been set, but he also faces a lengthy jail sentence for the narcotics conviction. Authorities say his brother, Luciano Salgado, is a renowned meth dealer.
Previously deported illegal immigrants have reentered the U.S. to commit a multitude of atrocious crimes over the years, but this one sticks out because President Donald Trump vowed to tighten border security and the violations occurred after he took office. Under the famously lax Obama rules, this type of thing was par for the course. In fact, the former president’s own uncle, Onyango Obama, an illegal immigrant from Kenya, reentered the U.S. and even got a driver’s license after getting deported. Uncle Onyango lost the license for driving drunk and was somehow able to obtain a special “hardship license” from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles even though he wasn’t even supposed to be in the United States and had been removed.
Just a few months ago a previously deported gang member was charged with attempted murder and kidnapping in the northern Colorado city of Ft. Collins. The illegal alien from El Salvador, Angel Ramos, was deported from Texas to El Salvador last year after getting arrested for domestic violence. Somehow, he reentered the U.S. and tried to kill a woman by stabbing her repeatedly with a screw driver then running her over with his car before trying to stuff her in the trunk. Ramos is a confirmed member of the violent street gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and is wanted for homicide in his native El Salvador, according to information provided to the media by the U.S. Marshals Service. In November the 36-year-old was charged with attempted murder, assault, menacing with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, domestic violence and criminal impersonation.
Back in 2014 a Judicial Watch investigation uncovered that a twice deported illegal immigrant was a key figure in a sophisticated narco-terror ring . The Mexican national, Hector Pedroza Huerta, plotted a Chicago truck bombing with two of the FBI’s “most wanted” terrorists and was deeply involved in smuggling drugs and weapons. The narco-terror ring that Huerta helped operate after being deported two times from the U.S. runs from El Paso to Chicago to New York. Though he was an illegal alien with a substantial criminal record and deportation history, Huerta lived in El Paso and planned several bomb plots targeting oil refineries in Houston and the Fort Worth Stockyards. He is also alleged to have smuggled explosives and weapons from the Fort Bliss range and exercise areas in concert with corrupt US Army soldiers and government contractors with gate passes at the El Paso base.

“Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the kidnapping, murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of ovens at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up and complicity of the Mexican government.”
“Heroin is not produced in the United States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled into the United States.

Report: Mexican Cartel Dumped Hundreds of Corpses into Texas Border-Area Lakes
Coahuila Attorney General's Office
One of Mexico’s most violent cartels dumped the bodies of hundreds, perhaps thousands of their victims into various dams and lakes throughout the northern part of Mexico and along the U.S. border.
In a new report by Mexico’s Revista Proceso , Los Zetas top leader Omar Treviño “Z-42” Morales Treviños allegedly told a state investigator to search the dams when he was asked about the mass disappearances throughout the areas where the cartel operated.
Some of those areas where Los Zetas operated include lakes in Mexico and Texas such as Falcon and Amistad–which are believed to be the untimely resting places of hundreds of victims. Mexican authorities have carried out searches for bodies in the Mexican sides.
Through brute force and with the help of some Mexican officials, members of Los Zetas Cartel were able to establish themselves in Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. It is in those areas where the cartel has been singled out as being responsible for thousands of unsolved cases. However, bureaucrats refuse to classify the cases as homicides and simply list them as missing persons.
The new revelations from the report add more weight to the working theories that many of the dams have become clandestine graveyards–similar to the Los Zetas-linked sites in other parts of Mexico.

Human remains found inside a car in Mexico have been identified as two kidnapped federal agents from the organized crime unit.
The Mexican attorney general's office said Sunday that the remains found last week were of Octavio Martinez and Alfonso Hernandez, who were last seen in an online video earlier this month tied up and surrounded by cartel members.
Martinez and Hernandez disappeared on February 5 after attending a family event in the Pacific state of Nayarit, one of the regions hit hardest by an increase in gang-related killings.

A video posted online the following weekend appeared to show the two agents kneeling and with their hands tied.
The description of the video on YouTube said the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was behind the kidnapping, but this could not be confirmed.
The attorney general's office said it returned the remains to the families of the agents after running DNA tests to confirm their identities, and would keep working to find the murderers.

Mexico is experiencing its worst-ever surge in
violent crime, with more than 25,000 killings in
2017, a rate of nearly 21 per 100,000 people.
Mexican officials said last month the government would deploy more federal police troopers to crack down on criminal groups in affected regions. Violence has increased as rival drug gangs splinter into smaller groups and dispute territory.
The United States regards the cartel as one of Mexico's most powerful drug gangs.
Last year, Nayarit's then attorney general, Edgar Veytia, was arrested in San Diego on U.S. narcotics trafficking conspiracy charges.

A drug cartel claimed responsibility for an explosion that ripped through a passenger ferry last week in Playa del Carmen. The explosion on the Barcos Caribe, which has been running a Playa del Carmen-Cozumel route since 2015, experienced a violent blast as passengers were disembarking.
Currently, 25 were reported injured–including seven Americans. None were life threatening, as reported by local
media .
The responsibility for the blast was discovered during the early morning hours of February 27 when police in Cozumel received a call that three armed men were attaching an unknown object to a church fence. When police arrived, they discovered a narco-banner in the form of a tarp with a threatening message addressed to the mayor of Cozumel, Perla Tun Pech, claiming responsibility for the blast.
The narco-banner was signed by the Cártel de “El Pumba” y “Tata” and warned the same will happen to the mayor’s home. Besides the signature of “El Pumba” y “Tata,” there was also a “Z,” indicating that the authors of the banner are aligned with Los Zetas drug cartel. Possession of the banner was assumed by the local police who transported it to the state attorney general’s office, according to
a local report .
Breitbart Texas has
reported extensively on the ongoing cartel violence in the once tranquil tourist hotspots of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. According to authorities and Breitbart Texas law enforcement sources, deadly cartel violence has been attributed to the fight over the lucrative drug markets by CJNG, Los Zetas, Gulf, and independent groups loyal to the Sinaloa Cartel. Quintana Roo
experienced a 118% increase in homicides in 2017.
The fiery explosion of the Barcos Caribe, which was originally captured by surveillance video, was initially attributed to a possible mechanical failure.

Barcos Caribe is associated with former Quintana Roo Governor Roberto Borge Angulo who, along with two business associates, acquired the ferry line while still in office. After leaving, Borge became a fugitive and was later captured in Panama attempting to board a flight to Paris. He is currently in custody facing corruption charges,

The hospital released a statement saying: 'At the request of the family, we have been asked not to release any more information.'
When Hall learned of the incident, he says he was hit with emotions of shock and disbelief.
'It was hard to sort of comprehend that something like this could happen to someone I know so it was pretty devastating,' Hall said.
He said O'Byrne 'exemplified the best humanistic characters of a physician'.

'Like he was to so many medical students and residents before me, he was my mentor and friend,' Hall told AL.com. 'He was a gifted physician trained both in medicine and anesthesiology with fellowship training in critical care. He showed kindness and genuine concern for his patients above and beyond that of other physicians.'
The U.S. State Department is currently advising citizens not to travel to several parts of Mexico due to crime.
While Puerto Vallarta itself is considered safe, the State Department says citizens should 'reconsider travel' to elsewhere in the state of Jalisco.
The neighboring states of Colima and Michoacán are under 'do not travel' warnings.
