Killed for refusing to work for Sinaloa Cartel...

Posted by Lucio R for Borderland Beat Republished from VICE

Note:  BB readers will recall those people displaced, shot at and homes destroyed by helicopter fire during the hunt for Chapo...these are those people.  BB has long reported about Sinaloa forcing these people into organized crime activities. In 2014 BB reported a story of 5 killed for refusing to work for Sinaloa. Read that story at this link

This is the first story in a three-part series on the impact Mexico's drug wars is having on indigenous people — a project by Dromómanos, VICE News, and Periodísmo CIDE with the support of the W.K. Kelloggs Foundation.

By Dromómanos, CIDE, and VICE News

S
inaloa cartel hitmen killed 18-year-old Benjamín Sánchez on February 26 2015, after he refused to work for them.

A month later Cruz Sánchez, Benjamín's father, was on his way back from visiting the authorities in the nearest big city to their village in the mountains. As he made his way home he received a call from a friend, warning him that the same men who had killed his son were waiting for him on the road.

Cruz left his pickup and continued his journey by foot in order to avoid the gunmen. It took him eight hours walking along mountain trails to get to his community of El Manzano.

Three days later, the gunmen were back. This time two of Sanchez's children heard a voice screaming "finish them off" as they walked to a local shop in the village to buy food. They ran to the house of a relative and grabbed the rifles most families keep in order to scare away the coyotes that roam the area.

The shootout lasted for seven hours. A cartel hitman died and one of Sánchez's sons received three bullets. The military arrived after nightfall. The family decided it was time to leave.


El Manzano lies in the southern part of the Tarahumara mountain range in the northern state of Chihuahua. It is a vast area of enormous natural beauty famed for its ravines deeper than the Grand Canyon, the vibrant culture of the indigenous Rarámuri communities that pepper the mountainsides, as well as a long tradition of cultivating marijuana and opium poppy.

There used to be 34 families living in El Manzano, almost all of them Rarámuri. According to two former residents, the drug business didn't used to interfere with the community. They said that the cartels pretty much left them to work in their fields and tend to their animals in peace. There was nothing to stop them gathering together in their ceremonial centers and performing rituals during fiestas they believe help heal, restore order, and keep chaos at bay.

But these locals say things changed abruptly two years ago when some community leaders were recruited by organized crime. Corn made way for poppies, and residents stopped their communal gatherings, opting instead to keep a low profile hidden away in their farms.

"They wanted the locals to work for them and join their group," said Sánchez, who claimed the gunmen came from the neighboring state of Sinaloa. "Almost everyone is put to work [growing poppy] on their own land. That group controls several municipalities."

After the Sánchez family left El Manzano fearful for their lives, others soon followed until there was almost nobody left.

Two months ago a group of armed men rolled into the community to strip the few who remained of their land. The last family in town had to hide in the pine forests around the village for three days. They watched their community disappear from a distance. Their cattle, clothes, and food were stolen. Their farms were razed to the ground.

The gunmen gave the family three options: they could grow poppy, run away, or die. Once they left there were no more families to threaten.
El Manzano's pain is just one of many tragedies in the Tarahumara where the indigenous population has become increasingly trapped since president Felipe Calderón launched a military-led offensive against the cartels almost a decade ago, triggering the country's vicious drug wars.

Today, groups of armed men are visible at road intersections, where paved and dirt roads come together. There's a self-imposed six o'clock curfew in several communities.

The remains of burnt vehicles lie along the path that leads to the community of Samachique where locals say a massive confrontation involving more than 50 gunmen took place last year and was never investigated. The locals do not speak much. They are silenced by fear.

One of the few Rarámuris who dared to speak, as long as his name was not published, said that the day prior to our conversation an acquaintance knocked on his door in very bad shape and said he had escaped from a poppy plantation.

"Right now they are harvesting their stuff, so they need a lot of people. They search the community and abduct them," the man said. "They never pay them."
The man said that the cartel had tried to recruit him last year, but he had managed to slip away and had gone to work picking apples elsewhere in the state instead.

"What's happening is that the cartels are multiplying. There are two [the Sinaloa and Juárez cartels] but they have split and now they are everywhere," said Isela González, director of Sierra Madre, a NGO that defends the land rights of indigenous people. "There are more guns, more drugs, and nonstop drug farming."

González has worked for almost two decades with Rarámuri communities, but death threats mean she has not been able to set foot in the mountains since 2013. At that time the municipality where she was working had a homicide rate of 164 per 100,000 residents, according to the Citizen Observatory of Violence, about four times higher than the rate for the entire state that year.

"What fight against drug cartels? Everything is done in broad daylight, under the noses of the police and the military," González said. "With that much impunity there has to be collusion from the authorities."

    2. @9:47 zetas have killed way more innocent people than any other cartels in mexico. But I'm hundred percent sure that every cartel has those guys that respect innocents and are only in to make easy money and those guys that want to terrorize society for power, growth, and warnings

      Delete
    3. I don't think we have the numbers to say which Mexican terrorist-drug cartel has killed more innocent people. The thing is that there was/is more media coverage when the zetas killed innocent people. The media was not censored during the Calderon era & the zetas were not discrete with their killings. The sinaloa cartel was either discrete with their killings of innocent people or the government simply covered it up. I believe Calderon was pro CDS.

  2. People in Juarez know very well that CDS causes more harm than it claims to cause. If they don't, now they do! The only reason more stories like this one don't come out in newspapers much is because these people that get killed lived in very remote villages and such where there are hardly any reporters and those that are there are threatened with death if they report the truth! Fuckin CDS can't hide this shit in bigger cities anymore though!

    1. The CDS are falling apart but what about the femecide that happens in cuidad Juarez?

      If you are the plaza boss you know who is killing of females and you control your city ! So don't say CDJ are angels, there are good people that do bad things and bad people that do bad things in any group.

      I just saw a news report of some zeta crying in a abulance stretcher after getting shot. I'm sure when he kidnapped the people he had hostage that he was not very nice to them. An example of a bad guy doing bad things.

    2. @1:21 Juarez cartel has never claimed to be saints unlike CDS. They have also lost many past leaders killed or imprisoned as well as learning from past mistakes. Past mistakes like disapearing and killing innocent women and girls leads to poor recruitment for CDJ hence this kind of practice has nearly if not entirely disappeared from the city. Women are still killed in Juarez (just like all over Mexico or the world), on occasion but this time it is because they are either involved in drugs themselves or because their husbands kill them or for whatever reasons women are killed in any city in the world!

    9. The guy that mentions that the narco corridos are PR for the CDS is right on the money. In LA the three major Spanish radio stations mainly play Sinaloa corridos and that plays big role on why there is so much support for el Chapo. People forget that CDS kidnapped indigenous people at the Tijuana boarder to build tunnels and then executed them after months of slave labor. Keep on singing to el Chapo he is honorable man just like the corridos say he is.

    5. Lucio and Chivis are correct! Sinaloa used to run Jalisco and more specifically Puerto Vallarta. This city is world reknown for child prostitution much like Taiwan. Sinaloenses are or were all over the trade over there. Feast your eyes on this also. Guadalajara has the largest population of retired Americans living abroad in Mexico than any other city in the country. Puerto Vallarta is also a place where white collar Americans by the thousands run to conduct "business" meetings every year as well as for leisure! So if people think that Americans themselves do no harm in Mexico - think again!

  24. If you are not in "the business" you never think it could affect you or your family. My son goes to a University in Monterrey. The last words I said to him when he left for college last year was "use your head and be careful. Monterrey can be a dangerous place just like any big city".

    He called late one night this week and said he had been robbed. He had taken his novia out for a birthday dinner and taken her home in a taxi. When he left her house he started walking to the Metro station to go home. (Walking alone late at night is not using your head or being careful).
    A taxi pulled up beside him, 2 "fat guys" got out and then the taxi driver joined them. They stuck a gun in his face and asked him what he had in his mochilla (back pack). He told them he had a laptop, his credentials, some school things and some personal things. They went through it, searched him, and said give us your cell phone. Then they left him and drove away.

    Maybe because I started out with the premise it was a mugging or robbery because that is what he thought had happened. But it didn't make sense. If it was street thugs our to rob him they would have just taken his mochilla, cell phone, what little cash he had etc.

    Reading these stories everyday on BB, I really felt stupid when it finally dawned on me what had happened. Some drug gang or cartel saw a young (20 yo) male, nicely dressed wearing a backpack walking on the street late at night and they wanted to make sure someone was not encroaching on their turf. They weren't interested in stealing his cell phone, they were checking him to see if he had a stash of drugs on him. If he had they would probably have put him in the taxi and taken him somewhere to "interrogate" him and it scares me to think what else.

    I don't think he uses any drugs, even pot. I have shown him the photos here on BB of corpses and decapitations over the years in an attempt to discourage him from using. Maybe it worked. If he had even had a couple of baggies or a few pills in his mochilla they might (likely would have) wanted to know who he bought them from and who he might have sold to.

    I wasn't terribly upset when he told me he had been robbed. Of course my wife went ballistic, but I told her all that had happened was he lost his cell phone and we should just be grateful he wasn't hurt.

    When I finally put 2+2 together and figure out what I think really happened, it scared the hell out of me to realize how close it could have been to the last time I ever talked to him. He could have been one of the "innocent" statistics.

    1. OMG DD.Scary shit.They didn't take his laptop?Why only the cell?So they could use it for a throwaway after a few uses.It sounds like you were on the money about them checking him out as a possible rival but Monterrey is a big city.He can't be the only lone male out at night and I'm sure being a student and on a date he didn't look like any of those stoned out bloated thugs we see here in the arrest photos.Is there a kind of self imposed curfew in that city at night?

    2. Those innocent statistics could happen anywhere in the world and danger is everywhere. Out of all the hundreds of childhood friends and the many relatives I have in Mexico only 2 were killed by criminals, one was involved in the drug trade and the other one was a robbery, he refused to give his wallet and was shot in the neck. At 43 years old I have had more friends and family killed by accidents, drug abuse and illnesses than by organized crime. Mexico is as dangerous as the police happens to be to black people in the USA.

    3. As a parent myself, that's a scary thought of what could of happened. I feel for you dd!

    4. Only taking the cell is what threw me off at first, but then it dawned on me that if they thought he might be dealing drugs, they would want to check his cell for contacts and text messages.

      Three guys with a gun confronting a kid to steal his cell phone just didn't make sense. Cell phones are too accessible and they could have bought 2 or 3 smart phones with what they could have sold the lap top for. They didn't want the cell phone - they wanted to see what was on his cell phone. Their intent was not robbery but protecting their turf.

    5. Remember blogger Felina @Miut3 from Valor Por Tamaulipas?Her cell phone was logged in to social media accounts and her blogger identity was found out,then she was killed.When cell phones are taken or stolen from people,it's not for just the phone,but for pictures,text messages,emails,social media accounts,etc.I would worry about it as you DD do not know what was within the cell phone 100%.Keep an open mind about the situation and be very cautious as to what occurred as it probably was not random.Maybe even have your son move and switch colleges?Safety for immediate family always should come first no matter how safe you may feel.I just keep remembering the Facebook page for Valor Por Tamaulipas when it was active.People would post images of people asking who they were and most of the time, they would get responses with names,locations which was scary sh!t.Just be careful DD and keep the faith.Much respect from DaGo

    6. 10:44 You refer to and compare this to the treatment of black people in the USA . I do believe there have been abuses of power against black people by police in the usa . There is also abuses against non blacks probably at the same rate .
      Here is a YouTube video of the original poster child before a policeman killed him claiming self defense . This is Michael Brown .

    8. It's weird innit when you realise All of a sudden the significance of an event. A few weeks ago someone was raped near my house, I didn't hear anything, but it wasn't until I was walking home late at night a few days later I realised that I'd put myself in the same position. It was terrifying. Still I guess there's theres the fact that if you unwittingly put yourself in harms way, 99% of the time it won't result in the worst possible outcome. Despite that, I hope your son is ok.

    10. 10:44 First of all I am black and second of all if you aren't black yourself you can't speak on how blacks are treated or mistreated in the US. Unless you are black yourself you couldn't possibly understand what it means to be black in America. I can tell you this and that is...there is absolutely no comparison to blacks being killed by the police in the US to innocents being killed in Mexico. Police kill blacks in the US because the police fear us. They fear that a black person will kill them not knowing there is a higher likelihood they will be actually killed by a white person. Specifically a white male. Statistics show Police officers are killed by a white male way more than any other demographic. So why are more unarmed blacks being killed by police???? Simple it's called FEAR. In Mexico you aren't kill out of fear you are killed in Mexico because you resist the status quo. All my life I was taught how to conduct myself while dealing with the police by my mother. In turn I teach my kids especially my son how to deal with the police because I feel it's important. I teach them to not fear the police or not to show any type of aggression when dealing with the police. I teach them out of experience as a black man and also as former law enforcement. In my opinion some blacks who were killed by the police recently would be alive today if they had just complied with the police officers instruction. Not all but some would be still alive today. Now are blacks killed by the police distportionately compared to whites? Yes. Can that change? Yes I believe it can. I'm not too sure if the status quo in Mexico could ever change because I am not Mexican living in Mexico. The Mexicans I know say nothing will ever change in Mexico because the people are just so use to the status quo. Those same individuals say that it was much easier to pick up and move to the US then it is to change their own country. Some came here legally and some came here in a not so legal way. I love Mexico and I think it's a wonderful country as a whole. After all it is part of my children's heritage and bloodline.

      There are more white males in America .
      Most of the crimes are committed by black males or latinos(I'm not talking white collar kind)
      I'm Latino and every fucking time I'm pulled over its all good till they read my license name and low and behold we got a white guy that has a beaner name! Let's pull him out the car and interrogate the shit out of him and illegal search hi and his car for drugs and weapons.
      Its not justblack people but as you said blavk people dont comply as they should with cops. They need to understand the radio and badge changes the dynamics fully.

      I would completely engage in a fire fight if the radio didn't work or was jammed. But that is never the case so just comply record the abuse and take them to court settle out of court easy solution.
      But I think with all the integration of racea in America the black man will no longer exist not from being killed off but from having mixed children less and less Africans will exist.

    13. More likely danger to DD but how many other young men in Monterrey are accosted the same way.Probably way too many and they would have to be reading on here too in English to connect it.

    14. Duh 9:11 we all know there are more white males in the US. The reality is that a police officer will be killed by a white male not a black male. Knowing this info why is a unarmed white male not killed as often as a unarmed black male. In my opinion it's because the black male appears to be the bigger threat.

    2. Chihuahua is one of those gray zones. It's an interesting story but you really can't determine who was behind the killings. It could've been sinaloa, la linea or beltranes for all we know. This isn't like michoacan where the ruling cartels are the ones also terrorizing the towns. This is just a story to feed all the sinaloa haters (mostly michoanos) what they've been so eagerly waiti g to read... prove it was sinaloa and not la linea or BLO.
