The Mexican Army and National Guard captured Epifanio N, alias “El Pepa”, the plaza boss of La Línea, a cell affiliated with the Nuevo Cártel de Juárez, in Manuel Ojinaga, Chihuahua yesterday. This is the first major capture of a Juarez Cartel member since the U.S. designated the group a Foreign Terrorist Organization in July.
The Mexican Army and National Guard executed the operation in Manuel Ojinaga municipality bordering Presidio, Texas, using military intelligence as well as information sharing with United States authorities. Alejandro N., El Pepa's son, was also arrested, while authorities secured a property, five firearms, 16 magazines, 400 cartridges, and two vehicles.
According to the military press release, El Pepa has a provisional arrest warrant for extradition to the United States for drug trafficking-related crimes. Mexican authorities say he was responsible for the production and trafficking of drugs, as well as the trafficking of migrants from Mexico to the United States.
In July, the U.S. Department of State designated the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), bringing the total number of Mexican criminal groups on the list to eight. The Juárez Cartel, one of Mexico’s oldest drug trafficking groups, operates primarily along the Texas-Mexico border in Chihuahua, where it has long controlled major smuggling routes for cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and fentanyl into the United States.

The more I see these guys, I am sure they become part of a cartel because they are either so poor or so ugly that it's there only chance to get laid. For all they money these guys move around why are they always dressed like shit and live in shitholes? Even Chapo's house was nothing more than a dirty old ranch. All the money in the world won't pull these people out of the holes they live in. For generations.....
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you join if you looked 100% like an orangutan?
DeleteKinda reminds me of your mom's hoa, guess you never found out what happened to NY in theate 70s, through early 90s, you tunnel vision, mental healthcare challenged, pearl clutchet, ostrich offspring.
Delete@9:49am. Perhaps. But if I or anyone else grew up in the same circumstances/environment/opportunities, there is a good chance I would be one of them.
DeleteBut for the grace of God anyone could be these guys.
If you look like a bloated Neanderthal you're definitely not going to be playing a leading role in a telenovela. They need to hit the books hard, I mean really hard, become very literate, and work on licit goals. But no, the lure of fast money with all the perks is too much temptation for those who grew encapsulated in a world of childhood beatings, poverty, hunger, and want.
DeleteIt’s bullshit that all those kidnapped/missing/raped/trafficked/butchered girls from the mid 2000’s is long and forgotten by society. It’s disgusting! I live thousands of miles away from border and am White. But, I am a father, a husband, a blue collar guy, and this story back then touched my soul. And these fuckhead Juarez scumbags hunted young girls and Mexican authorities didn’t do shit. Fuck you mexcian “law enforcement!”
ReplyDeleteA bunch of unpunished mass rapist killers roaming around like nothing. And save your breath that USA this and USA that!
That was actually a cult-like group operating in Juarez then. Not the cartel.
DeleteNo, duh! Ain't y'all heard of uncle Jeef and Tramputitos fetishes? Dang, son! Can't go threw life sniveling like cerote seiz and hes carnalez

ReplyDeleteNCDJ is being more BOLD and aggressive against CDS in chihuahua and durango because they are receiving heavy duty weaponry from the mighty CJNG specifically CHito CAno CJnG forces that are in Juarez moving tons of crap to the gringos without paying a fee.
