Mexico vows to stop "vigilante" expansion

Borderland Beat by DD
Villagers dance as they gathered to block the road in response to army soldiers aggedly confiscating a few weapons from the community's self defense group in the town of Los Colonias.   After forming self defense group, they say they are free of Templars
Note DD;  In September Colombian Gen. Oscar Naranjo, adviser to President Enrique Pena Nieto on security issues, warned that armed civilian groups are the gateway to the emergence of "para-states" or parallel state,  and they usurp the powers attributed to the government.

During his presentation at the seminar on violence organized by the Colegio de Mexico, Naranjo made a strong critique of the emergence of these groups, and called it "unacceptable" that they are armed as if they were real cops, as the use of force is monopoly of the state.

 When I posted the story  significance of the story was not that he held such views, but that a high profile figure associated with security in the EPN administration was making his views known in such a public manner.  I further commented that I hoped it was not a prelude to a govt. effort to eliminate or disband the citizen groups.

On the Forum on Sept. 17, (link provided below) I added a comment to the story that the Mexican military killed three vigilantes in a shootout that the military says was initiated when the citizen groups fired on the military.

I don't know the truth of what happened  that day, but the very use of the word "vigilantes" in describing those killed carries a more negative connotation than the description "community police" or "self-defense" group.


The story mentions that concerns have arisen that the self-defense groups may be working with the cartels.  It doesn't mention that the community groups have accused the military of protecting the cartels.

In the earlier article I expressed my concern that Naranjo's comments were a prelude to an effort to eliminate the citizen self-defense groups.  I hope the killing of the these 3 "vigilantes" is not the beginning of that effort.

Mexico vows to stop vigilante expansion

Attorney General Murillo Karam
Morelia (Mexico) (AFP) - Mexican authorities warned Thursday that they would not allow vigilante "self-defense" groups to take over more towns in a western state where civilians are arming themselves to combat drug gangs.

Vigilantes are now providing security in six Michoacan state towns after self-defense forces seized the municipality of Tancitaro last weekend following clashes that left three people dead.

Self-defense leaders say they next plan to take over another town, Los Reyes, with about 40,000 
residents, as part of their drive to chase the Knights Templar drug cartel out of the region.

But Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam insisted that the self-defense groups "will not spread. I assure you."

"The Mexican state will guarantee this," he told reporters in Mexico City.

Michoacan Governor Fausto Vallejo told AFP on Wednesday that state and federal authorities 

would arrest the vigilantes if they try to seize more towns.

Several vigilante groups have emerged in Michoacan and the neighboring state of Guerrero this year, saying that local police are either unable or unwilling to stop the murders, kidnappings and extortion committed by gangs.

Officials have accused some Michoacan vigilantes of working for another gang, the Jalisco New Generation drug cartel, which is locked in turf wars with the Knights Templar.

The federal government deployed thousands of troops to Michoacan in May in a bid to stem the violence and ensure that businesses can operate safely again in a state that is a major producer of lime and avocado.

But violence has continued.

Murillo Karam said the number of bodies found in 16 clandestine graves recently at the border between the states of Jalisco and Michoacan had risen to 31.

The pits were found after authorities detained and interrogated 22 municipal police officers from Michoacan accused of handing over two federal police officers to the Jalisco cartel.

The federal agents were not found in the pits.

DD Note; If my concerns about the Mexican government moving toward disarming and disbanding the "self-defense" groups, it will be increasingly important to understand the distinctions between "self defense" groups and  "community police".   Many stories use the term "vigilantes" in describing the self-defense groups, but I don't think that is a fair representation.   

The Mexican Constitution, in Articles 2, 27, and 39,  guarantees certain rights of indigenous people to autonomy in self government.  In my opinion, just the right of every human to defend himself also gives authority to what the self defense groups are doing.  The fact that the citizens are joining together for security to do that doesn't change their right to self-defense.

Proceso magazine published the following article on the history and variations of self-defense groups and community police.

Mexico's Community Police and Self-defense Groups: History of Their Variations
Proceso: José Gil Olmos
translated by Thomas Mosley

Insecurity and attacks from organized crime since 1995 have caused various self-defense groups to emerge in at least a dozen states in several regions in the country, mainly in the south. Although they have the same origin, the community police are substantially different from the citizen self-defense groups that emerged earlier this year and have had a key role since then in the Tierra Caliente [Hot Country] of Michoacán.

Some have confused this phenomenon with the United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia without considering their differing contexts, goals, and backgrounds. In that country these groups were created by politicians, soldiers, ranchers, business owners, and citizens to fight the guerrillas, but later they turned into another player within the drug trade business, even becoming terrorists and militiamen.

That has nothing to do with the community policing in Guerrero or the citizen self-defense groups of Michoacán, though some have accused the former of having ties to the guerrillas and the latter to the Jalisco Cartel.

The Community Police arose in the Montaña region of Guerrero in 1995, and over time it has grown and evolved, making way for the Regional Coordinator of Community Authorities (CRAC) of Montaña and Costa Chica [Little Coast, south of Acapulco] of Guerrero, which comprises its own system of security, justice, and a community reeducation program for criminals they detain.

According to their own account,     "in the 80’s and early 90’s the great wave of violence that appeared on the roads of Montaña (now known as the Tlapa-Marquelia highway) and Costa Chica (San Luis Acatlán-Marquelia) in Guerrero drove some of the communities’ residents to join forces against it. At this time, organizations and production companies, mainly in the coffee industry, were also affected because they could not safely distribute their products and economic resources."

That is to say that the origin of the community police is in protecting themselves and  their land. It is part of their [indigenous] conception of collective justice, self-organization, and even self-government. They don’t hide their faces, and they are chosen at assembly elections for merits such as honesty and respect for their community and family. The community maintains them, even though they receive support from their respective governments.

These same causes also gave rise to the Community Police of Cherán, Michoacan, and groups in other indigenous populations of the Purépecha plateau in 2011. That year, the indigenous communities of this area got organized, took up arms, and fought the illegal loggers who were backed by The Michoacán Family and Knights Templar cartels.

Earlier this year in towns of Tierra Caliente, Michoacán, citizen self-defense groups  emerged to defend themselves against the Knights Templar that subdued them, taxing them on business and food consumption and exploiting them for their houses, cars, and even their women. In some ways, they are more urban groups with interests that are more personal than collective, though under the banner of safety they are brought together to defend themselves, their families, and their businesses.

Similar groups also emerged elsewhere in Michoacan, and in Morelos, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and another region of Guerrero where they are called the Union of Peoples and Organizations of the State of Guerrero (Upoeg), an organization led by Bruno Plácido Valerio, who was previously in the CRAC, but is now funded by the government of Angel Aguirre Rivero.

Other communities have expressed themselves with "community patrols" that have not yet reached the organization of community policing or citizen self-defense groups. But just like these groups, they are an expression of utter social dissatisfaction towards the inability of the government and the Mexican state to provide security where it is due.

The differences between these organizations are vast because they have different compositions, structures and objectives, but they all share the common goal of safety.


They are also drastically different from the United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia, whose purpose was never community protection but counterinsurgency and, ultimately, terrorism and drug trafficking.

  1. This is so ridiculous. The government does nothing to protect the people. The cartels control everything. The people stand up, protect the towns on their own, and the government doesn't like that? Off with their fucking heads! The officials, the cartel leaders, need to be lined up and executed publicly. No one is ever held accountable for their actions. Nothing will change unless citizens band together. Mexico needs a real revolution , a new government. - J

  4. I think the problem with the self defense groups is they need better weaponry . I think every law abiding citizen should have the right to own weapons that are sufficient for self defense . Sure there would be a unjustified homicide now and then . Probably be some accidental deaths of innocent people . That is something that would be sure to happen . It is a terrible thing when innocents suffer and die . What we have now is the alternative . If we put it on the scale and weigh it we all know how it would tip.

  7. This is what is going to end up happening if/when the US decides to disarm us. There is NO reason every police dept needs a tank and an IED proof vehicle, automatic weapons and the 3 billion dollars worth of ammo they have ordered in the last year alone. The IRS, EPA, and even the Agricultural Dept now have billions of rounds of ammo. Scary as hell. In the US we have that right in our constitution, despite what any liberal anti gun fool has to say. Look to Mexico to see what happens when regular people can't defend themselves, the leaders are crooked and the criminals are armed to the teeth. In the US, the scariest thing is the people who vote for people like Obama and look to the government for protection, healthcare, food stamps, and everything else. That is slavery. And FYI, the Police have ZERO mandate to protect you. NONE. "To protect and serve" is just a motto, not a law. The US Supreme Court has sided with law enforcement when sued because they failed to protect over and over again. THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO PROTECT YOU BECAUSE SELF PRESERVATION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. These assholes who are against the Stand Your Ground laws are fools, especially when it's blacks trying to get rid of it. Blacks successfully use the Stand Your Ground law 4 times more than any other race, and the poor are the ones who need it the most. I swear, sometimes I think people forget that bad guys follow no rules and have enough guns to last ten lifetimes.

  31. there was a comment asking why Dr Manuel could be taking over surrounding areas. first, I don't know him personally so I have not verified his movement. so far his autodefensa movement looks genuine. how do I know? because if they were corrupt, the authorities wouldn;t be trying to disarm them. sad, but true. but here's the thing. The Doctor only has a communty of a few hundred people. how can they defend that with limited support? not easily. perhaps not at all. so unless they get other commuity groups to join them and they expand the terrirotry of the autodefensas, they are very vulnerable. therefore, do not necessarily read bad intentions into their actions. certainly not yet.

  32. "Why doesn't Mexico vow to stop cartel expansion?" Dude, the Mexican government (as well as the military) is bought and paid for by the cartels.

  40. "Very true, these armed civilians should respect local state and federal laws just like the drug cartels do."

    Hahahahaha! Good one, amigo. :-)

    The emergence of these auodefensas poses a real policy headache - not only for Mexico - but also for the USA. It is clear that the Mexican and US Gov'ts are cooperating at some high level in the takedown of top figures of the cartels. But Mexico appears to totally ignore the plight of its ordinary citizens. And the US Gov't does not have any policies that help the establishment of law and order in local neighborhoods.

    Hence the arrival on the scene of the "autodefensas" poses a growing challenge - or question - to the Mexican and US policies in the region. If these autodefensas are genuine citizens groups trying to protect themselves (only), then they represent a form of grass-roots democracy. It should be encouraged - not opposed. To oppose the autodefensas would be to align policies so that they support the corruption and favor the cartels.

    Hence the big question remains - who really leads the autodefensas, are they honest, and what are their real goals??

  42. General naranjas,what IS UNACCEPTABLE IS,that the federal state and municipal governments have become so thoroughly corrupt,that they send federal police there to be killed,and soldiers to be kidnapped and tortured.
    So Mister giniral naranjas we know you must kiss ass,the ass that pays you so good,but don't mess with the communitary police,chances are that will be your Waterloo..

  43. I have a great idea....instead of vowing to stop the spread of auto defenses and disarming them, why not stop the spread of cartels and their violence instead ?
    Seems logical to me.

    1. 11:59 PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU OR YOUR GUNS...
      you really are a good example of a brainwashed fool who does not respect the president of the US nor the office he represents.
      Do you know who is the commander in chief of the armed forces of the US?
      Do you know what a well regulated militia is?
      If you can not mention any laws that the president has proposed to take any Guns from any law abiding citizen,then you must be a crazy brainwashed robot,poor little you! See a psychiatrist, fool
