Mexican authorities are investigating the murder of 14 victims, including an infant, during a party in the coastal state of Veracruz. The murder marks the latest episode of violence in a region where cartel gunmen openly challenge Mexico’s government and appear to surpass the capabilities of police agencies.

The murders took place on Friday night in the town of Minatitla which is located in the southern part of Veracruz. According to Mexico’s Proceso, the gunmen stormed a restaurant bar called La Potra during a private party. The gunmen allegedly tried to kidnap the owner of the business. As some of the people in attendance tried to intervene, the cartel assassins began firing indiscriminately into the crowd killing 13 adults and one infant.,The gunmen wounded four others.
The murder victims included five women, seven men, and the young infant male.
After the attack, Veracruz’s Public Safety Secretary Hugo Gutierrez Maldonado announced a sear operation in an attempt to capture the cartel gunmen.

Fuerzas Federales y Estatales han desplegado un fuerte operativo de búsqueda y captura de los responsables de los sucesos ocurridos en Minatitlán.

Así mismo solicitamos la colaboración de la @FGE_Veracruz a fin de realizar el proceso de investigación correspondiente.



As Breitbart News reported last month, Mexico’s Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) declared war on the Veracruz government through a series of banners and then carried out a series of high-profile attacks that spread terror through the state. For several years, CJNG and Los Zetas have been fighting for control of Veracruz and its lucrative shipping ports that provide access to the Gulf of Mexico.

There are nearly 60,000 illegal aliens, legal immigrants, or suspected foreign-born inmates in the federal prison system, a report by the Department of Justice (DOJ) reveals.

In total, there are about 59,945 illegal aliens, legal immigrants, or suspected foreign-born inmates in federal custody by the Bureau of Prisons and United States Marshals Service, the DOJ report notes, as of 2018.
Of that total, about 41,138 were confirmed illegal aliens who have either been ordered deported from the U.S. once they are released from federal custody or who are under adjudication proceedings to be deported. Illegal aliens make up about 68 percent of the total foreign-born federal prison population.
There are 16,426 suspected foreign-born federal inmates who are under investigation to determine their immigration status, while there are nearly 1,300 legal immigrants in the federal prison system who have ongoing deportation proceedings, as of 2018. Legal immigrants account for about two percent of the total foreign-born federal prison population.

(Department of Justice)
The federal prison report only accounts for about 10 percent of the incarcerated population in the U.S. as the vast majority of inmates are in state and local custody. Foreign-born federal inmates make up about 25 percent of the total federal prison population, the report finds, although foreign-born residents account for just 13.5 percent of the total U.S. population.
The federal foreign-born inmate population includes illegal aliens like MS-13 gang member Bryan Galicia Barillas, who was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison recently after he was involved with the killing of an innocent mother of three in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Barillas also pleaded guilty to his involvement in the 2014 stabbing murder of an individual in Chelsea, as well as an attempted stabbing and conspiracy to murder in 2015.
Also in federal custody is 23-year-old illegal alien Yovanny Aroldo Mendivil-Balderama, who was recently sentenced to 50 years in prison for distributing methamphetamine across the state of Missouri and for his involvement in the murder of Oscar Adan Martinez-Gaxiola in 2016.
Of the nearly 39,000 foreign-born inmates in Bureau of Prisons custody, about 46 percent had been sentenced for drug-related and drug trafficking crimes. About 28 percent were in federal custody for immigration violations, such as illegal re-entry or human trafficking.
As Breitbart News has reported, foreign-born inmates in federal custody cost American taxpayers about $1.42 billion every year, according to the most recent data collected by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Though federal data is not compiled on the total foreign-born populations in state and local custody, a recent Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) study foundthat illegal aliens are sometimes up to 5.5 times more likely to be incarcerated than American citizens and legal immigrants.
In New Jersey, for example, illegal aliens are 440 percent more likely than American citizens and legal immigrants to be incarcerated.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority deriving from the process known as “chain migration,” where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.

Mexican Cartels Use Drones to Scout Migrant Smuggling Lanes, Say Feds

El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents witnessed what they believe to be the first use in their sector of a drone by cartel human smugglers to act as a “look-out.”

“Agents have discovered a new tactic in counter surveillance as they continue to apprehend large groups and gang members attempting to illegally enter the United States,” El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials stated. The tactic came to light as an agent monitoring the border with an infrared camera observed a small airborne object traveling north into the U.S. from Mexico. The object made its way about 100 yards into the U.S. before returning to Mexico. The agent observed this behavior three more times.

After the third penetration mission for the drone, agents observed a group of 10 migrants making their way across the border in the same area surveilled by the drone. “This is the first known time in recent history that a drone has been utilized as a ‘look-out’ in order to aid in illegal entries in the El Paso Sector,” officials stated.
The following day, El Paso Sector agents patrolling in southern New Mexico apprehended a previously deported gang member from El Salvador. The gang member was hiding within a group of Central American migrants, officials stated. In addition to the gang member, agents also apprehended a Salvadoran national with a criminal history that included a conviction in 2014 for “Contact with a Minor for Sexual Offense,” officials reported.
Earlier that day, agents patrolling in El Paso arrested Chavez-Ibarra, a 46-year-old Mexican national who illegally entered the U.S. The agents transported the Mexican national to the station where a biometric investigation uncovered a previous record of a gang affiliation and criminal convictions. Chavez has two previous convictions for felony re-entry into the U.S. He also has a conviction for burglary of a vehicle in Houston, and arrests for burglary, possession of cocaine, and felony burglary, officials reported.
Agents booked the gang members and the sex offender into local jails to await prosecution for illegal re-entry after removal.

1800 Migrants Illegally Enter El Paso Sector in One Day

El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1,800 migrants who illegally crossed the border Tuesday. More than half crossed into the El Paso Metropolitan Area.

Lordsburg Station agents patrolling near the remote Antelope Wells Port of Entry in the New Mexico boot heel region encountered a group of 230 shortly before 1 a.m. on April 16, according to El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials. The agents began the long task of medically screening, processing, and transporting the migrants to the station.
About five minutes after the apprehension of the first group, another set of agents encountered a group of 360 migrants just west of Mount Cristo Rey in Sunland Park, New Mexico, officials reported.
The agents working in the Antelope Wells Port of Entry area encountered yet another large group of 130 migrants at about 11:45 p.m. to close out their day.
In total, the El Paso Sector agents apprehended a total of more than 1,800 migrants on Tuesday — at least half entering in the El Paso Metropolitan area, officials stated.
During the first six months of Fiscal Year 2018, El Paso Sector agents apprehended less than 11,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico. So far this fiscal year, that number has skyrocketed to more than 71,000.
“It is very clear that the cartels and their smugglers know the weaknesses in our laws,” Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said during a visit to the Texas border this week. “They know that family units and unaccompanied children will be released with no consequences for their illegal entry”
During a press briefing earlier this month, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Law Enforcement Operations Director Brian Hastings expressed concern about the cartel tactic of crossing large groups of migrants in remote areas, Breitbart News reported.
“The resources that we’re pulling away from national security have a negative effect on law enforcement mission,” the operations director explained. “Currently each day we’re pulling approximately 40 percent of our agents on the Southwest border, and diverting them specifically for the humanitarian need, that is to care for, transport and process family units and UACs.”
“Not only does this divert our resources, but as we’ve seen recently, smuggling organizations are utilizing these large groups as a diversion to enable the movement of smuggling of narcotics,” Hastings stated. “Approximately 60 large groups so far this year have been encountered in remote locations which causes us particular concern because they’re generally the furthest away from our processing centers, medical services, contract transportation, and even our stations.”
Hastings blamed the problem on immigration and asylum laws and court rulings.
Hastings said one solution to the current problem would be for Congress to fix the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush in 2008.
“Specifically,” Hastings said in response to a question from The New York Times. “What we look at the biggest problem being for us appears to be TVPRA and [the Floressettlement agreement] and then just going through the system quicker in a more – adjudicating the cases quicker, if you will. We need some assistance with CIS and additional attorneys in order to expedite these cases and the credible fear claims quicker.”
Due to the massive numbers of apprehensions and laws restricting migrant detention and lack of funds and bed spaces allocated by Congress, Border Patrol officials have initiated a policy to release migrants directly into the community after medical screenings and criminal background investigations.
The overwhelming number of releases forced the mayor of Yuma, Arizona, to issue a “State of Emergency” declaration earlier this week. “Migrants being released into the community faster than they are departing, and shelters and the staff to run them are at max capacity,” a tweet on the City of Yuma Twitter page states quoting Mayor Douglas J. Nichols. “A state of emergency is declared.”
The mayor explained that when the shelters reach capacity, the City is forced to release the migrants onto the streets. “That means they are likely to be on the street and there would be a whole cascading effect of people walking around the city,” he explained.
