How Mexican Cartels are Leading to the Vaquita’s Extinction

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Geo.co.uk
                               Rare and endemic Vaquita Porpoise caught in an illegal gill net

BY: Matthew Podolsky, who is a filmmaker at Wild Lens Inc. and producer of Souls of the Vermillion Sea, directed by Sean Bogle, and filmed in San Felipe, Gulf of California, Mexico

The vaquita is a species of porpoise endemic to the northern Gulf of California in Mexico, but illegal fishing means this fascinating creature is doomed to extinction, says Matthew Podolsky.

Three years ago, when I began working on a documentary focused on the vaquita’s extinction crisis, the species was a complete unknown. Even experts in the field of conservation had never heard the name when I pitched them the idea of making a film about the plight of this animal, the world’s smallest species of cetacean (the group that includes all whales, dolphins and porpoises). The situation was dire then, but there was still hope. We began shooting for our film right as the Mexican government imposed a ban on the use of gill nets throughout the vaquita’s range in the northernmost corner of the Gulf of California – it is the use of gillnets that is responsible for the species’ dramatic decline because the vaquita become entangled and drown in the nets.

By: Ioan Grillo

Mexico City:  In the first months of this year, the word “huachicolero” — once a rarely used term — has been on the lips of people all around the country. Car owners particularly have cursed it, but I’ve even heard schoolchildren shouting it. Etymologists debate the word’s origins and whether its root comes from a Mayan term for thief or a French word for watered-down paint. But today, it’s used almost solely to refer to people who steal gasoline, diesel and even some crude oil, usually directly from pipelines, so they can sell it. This has become an extremely lucrative illegal business in Mexico.

The term was brought to national attention by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has made a crackdown on these huachicoleros a cornerstone of his administration, which began in December. Soldiers have been securing pipelines, the police have raided the thieves’ mansions, and the authorities have recaptured tanks of stolen gasoline.

It’s been a messy operation. When Mr. López Obrador shut down some pipelines in January, to stop the huachicoleros stealing from them, it caused shortages of gasoline in swaths of the country. The fuel thieves have fought back against the police and soldiers, blocking roads with burning cars and ambushing convoys. In January, they hung a banner with a message threatening to kill innocent people if Mr. López Obrador didn’t end the offensive.

    For the first time in four years, fishermen are back on the water in the Upper Gulf of California fishing inside the Vaquita Marina Sanctuary, the only place in the world where the smallest marine mammal can be found.

In 2015, the Mexican government prohibited commercial fishing in what is also known as Sea of Cortez. On March 21, the government announced that it will place buoys to set boundaries around the reserve, where it is believed fewer than 10 vaquita porpoises remain.

The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources promised to provide social programs and jobs for fishing communities, but during an assembly, fishermen refused the initiative, arguing that it does not give an immediate solution for their people who are facing hunger.

El Chapo Trial: Defense files motion for a new trial based on jury misconduct

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat 

Comment from defense:  “We believe that juror misconduct deprived Joaquin of a fair trial in a case in which the defense was extremely restricted to begin with.  We look forward to vindicating his rights in a new trial before a jury that will abide by its oath.”



The motion is based on alleged jury misconduct.

A juror contacted a VICE reporter a day after the verdict to volunteer that jurors had violated their oath and rejected the Court’s incessant instructions by actively following and discussing the blizzard of media coverage, and falsely denying it upon judicial inquiry, throughout the three-month trial.

Of special note was Keegan Hamilton’s play by play coverage via social media.  In this forum many people, journalists, attorneys and the public became a part of the court news discussions.  Including myself.  

The juror’s accusation, if true, exposed the jury to a mountain of prejudices information that was not allowed to be entered into evidence.


Why there won't be another Chapo--The end of the big cartels

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat by Steve Dudley for Foreign Affairs


Earlier this month, a federal jury in New York convicted Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, the former kingpin of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel, on ten charges related to drug trafficking. El Chapo was stunned, his wife cried, and U.S. authorities crowed.

For some, the verdict offered finality: “The reign of Joaquín Guzmán Loera’s crime and violence has come to an end,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray.

For others, vindication: “There are those who say the war on drugs is not worth fighting,” said Richard P. Donoghue, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “Those people are wrong.”

Some spoke of heroism: “Today’s verdict,” said U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, “sends an unmistakable message to transnational criminals: You cannot hide, you are not beyond our reach, and we will find you and bring you to face justice.”

Note: The cartel northeast, continues to attack and advance in the area of  area of Miguel Aleman Tamaulipas, which is  controlled by the " Gulf Cartel ".

It is rumored that CJNG is financing the CDN advancement and warring.   This is something I wrote about and predicted a year ago.   This is also their MO; enter into short term agreements or limited alliances to achieve a goal, then cutting ties and turning on those who allied. 

And this would be a tremendous achievement for the cartel, having good control on both coasts, with the star “Nuevo Laredo’ on the gulf or east side of Mexico. It made sense to me that they advance to control TJ, then some of the interior states, then Tamaulipas especially NL. If that occurs they will then attempt to advance in key places on the frontera and Veracruz.  I hope I am wrong.  [Chivis]


Shortly after 11 o'clock last night and approximately until 6 o'clock today, there was a fierce confrontation in the town of Los Guerra de Miguel Alemán Tamaulipas, with unknown groups that clashed but left several trucks burnt, in the streets of the city.

The residents of the town of Los Guerra could not sleep last night and had to lie on the floor for hours, even until dawn, due to the bursts of bullets that seemed to be endless, as loud detonations were heard. The buzz of projectiles that were shot, came from different directions.
