Los Pelones Behead An Enemy In Sonora

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

A man’s eyes are bulging in shock and disbelief at the fact that his head is being violently removed. That ugly moment within his life where the realization of how his exit from this world plays out dawns on him. 

Every indication of this is clearly seen across his pained face as he lays there on the desert ground immobile to everything happening all around him. He appears to be seriously injured and there really isn’t much that he can do to defend himself at this point.

Gunmen for Omar Feliz Loaiza aka El Pelón have taken advantage of this by simply using a shovel placed against his chest to hold him in place. A small fixed blade knife is seen rushing back and forth across the fallen man’s neck. 

His vital fluids pour out just as fast as the assassin slashes through the flesh and cervical spine. 

Video translation is as follows:

Sicario #1 mockingly says: So, you were saying long live Los Pelones. Isn’t that right? Long live Los Pelones, long live Los Pelones?

Sicario #2 mockingly says: Long live Los Pelones you dick. 

Sicario #1 says to his counterpart: Ok, buddy you’re next. Is this how it’s done?

Sicario #3: Yes, that’s exactly how. 

Sicario #1 mockingly says: Go ahead and claim long live Los Pelones now. 

Sicario #4 mockingly says: Long live Los Pelones you fuck. 

Sicario #5: Take a look at how beautiful that wet work looks. 

Sicario #1: This will be the fate of every Salazares gunmen. Every Salazares operative will go through this. 

Sicario #6: You dogs, the only ones in charge here will be Los Pelones. 

Sicario #1:  Every Salazares operative will go through this.

Sicario #5: Check out how beautiful that bloods pours out. That’s exactly how it should be done doggies. Just like that sir. 

Several hitmen say: Where are the Salas (Salazares) gunmen at now?

Sicario #1: Try sticking your tongue out again you son of a bitch. Go ahead and try saying again long live Los Salas. 

Sicario #5: I’ve got the shovel here for that particular bone that we need…

Three Surfers Camping in Baja California Were Executed, Mexico Claims Case is Atypical, Denies Cartels Were Involved

"HEARST" for Borderland Beat

Three surfers - two from Australia and one from the US - went on a road trip from San Diego into Mexico, planning to hit up all the prime surf beaches in Baja California. But the surfers went missing after camping on a beach. When their camp was found, blood stains and a tooth were found, suggesting they had met with foul play. 

This week Mexican authorities have been insisting the murder of the three surfers is unrelated to the cartels which rule over the state, downplaying the fourth dead body that was found with the victims, which has its own set of unanswered questions.

Tsvia Kol Sentenced to 9 Years for Distributing Sinaloa Cartel Meth, No Murder Charges Yet

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

Based on an NBC Miami Article by Tony Pipitone

A methamphetamine distributor connected by police to the Sinaloa cartel was sentenced Thursday to nine years in federal prison, but her alleged role in luring a drug courier to his murder by a cartel-connected hitman went unmentioned in open court.

The government has not explained why it did not arrest the distributor, Tsvia Kol, in July 2021, 16 months before the murder – when she admitted distributing 15 pounds of meth to coconspirators in violation of her 2020 cooperation agreement with the feds.

A federal agent would later testify he and other agents “completely shut off communications” with Kol when she did the July 2021 “deal on her own. She lied to us and we were out of it.”

She was never charged for the 15-pound shipment and was not arrested for possessing nearly two kilos of meth in 2020 until December 2022, the day after the body of 46-year-old Julio Gonzalez was found in a Miami Springs hotel room.

Narco Tunnel Linked To Los Rusos Discovered

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

Video translation is as follows:

A drug tunnel dug by hand, measuring the right size in length, to cross drugs and undocumented immigrants under the border wall of Sonora and Arizona to the United States was discovered by agents of the Attorney General's Office in the border region of San Luis Río Colorado. 

According to the authorities, the drug tunnel was located on May 1 when agents of the state public security police in coordination with the United States border patrol were conducting a tour of the San Luis Rio Colorado border wall. 

The middle passageway is less than 5 meters in length. The approximate distance to cross under the steel border wall built in the Sonoran Desert. An area that is currently being disputed by factions of the Sinaloa Cartel for the transfer of drugs, weapons, money, and undocumented immigrants. The authorities didn’t report any arrests or drug seizures after the discovery of this clandestine passage. 

Next to the discovery site, the officers found various tools used for excavation. Among these were shovels, bars, and buckets, which were covered with stacks of wood and weeds typical of the region. After the experts processed the scene to collect evidence for the court case. The agents carried out maneuvers to disable the excavation by covering it with earth using an excavator. 

Reports from Mexican authorities record that since 1990, when the first drug tunnel was officially discovered, to date security and migration agencies have found more than 230 clandestine passages. The vast majority in the state of Sonora in the Nogales region that borders the United States. 

The border between Sonora and Arizona is currently disputed between groups linked to Los Chapitos versus the Los Rusos criminal group commanded by Mayo Zambada. Local media indicated that the drug tunnel is linked to the Los Rusos criminal cell.

DEA Agrees to Reclassify Marijuana as Schedule III Controlled Substance

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

From The Associated Press article

The DEA will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country.

The proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use.

The agency’s move, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review, clears the last significant regulatory hurdle before the agency’s biggest policy change in more than 50 years can take effect.

Cartel De Caborca Executes Secretariat Of Citizen Security (SSC) Commander In Chetumal: Quintana Roo

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

This article was translated and reposted from La Palabra Del Caribe 

April 30, 2024. 

FERMÍN CORTÉS BURGOS 

✞

The former director of the Cancun jail, Fermin Cortes Burgos, was executed this Monday in Chetumal, by hired killers who opened fire on him.

The homicide took place near the Naval Zone when the former official was riding a motorcycle.

According to the videos released, it can be seen how Cortés Burgos lost control, skidded and crashed into a cab after being wounded by the burst of gunfire.

Cortés Burgos, with a career within the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR), served as director of the Cancún prison during the six-year term of then Governor Carlos Joaquín González.

He was currently serving as an advisor to the state's Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC).

The execution was reportedly carried out by hitmen from the Caborca cartel under the orders of "Kike" alias 'LMV'. The victim had already received several threats and was accused of having a Facebook page that publishes information about criminal groups in Chetumal.

The State Attorney General's Office (FGE) informed that it had initiated an investigation to clarify the facts, while specialized experts went to the scene to gather evidence to support the investigation.

The institution confirmed that the victim was an active member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security.

The incident occurred at the same time as the arrival of an average of 200 elements of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) to Chetumal, to reinforce security in the capital, which in the last few days has seen an increase in violent acts, threats and homicides.

Along with the military, an EC225 helicopter from the Mexican Air Force was also received to strengthen operations against organized crime through ground incursions and deterrents in rural communities with high crime rates in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco.

A few days ago, a video attributed to an organized crime group announcing its arrival in Cozumel to take over the island's plaza shook the island's population.

In this regard, this morning, the Secretary of Government, Cristina Gómez, explained that it is fake material used in other places and that it has "edited" voices and images that adapt it to the local context.

"Normally, if you notice, in seasons like the one we are living now, mainly political, many videos or alert messages are used to try to confuse the population", she said, pointing out that the FGE will give a technical explanation about the images and message of this video, in which men with their faces covered and armed are observed, apparently in the jungle.

Flanked by the head of the SSC, Julio Cesar Gomez, the official pointed out in the press conference that she and other officials gave on the island, that the same situation has been detected in Chetumal; that is to say, that they begin with the dissemination of threatening messages and alerts that call on the population not to go out.

"We do not have any Code Red in Chetumal at this moment", she clarified, when interviewed after the meeting of the Security and Justice Round Table, in which "strategic actions implemented in the construction of peace and security" were announced, attended by more than 40 businessmen from the tourism industry.

There, it was said that 252 surveillance cameras will be installed, representing an increase of 510 percent and the placement of 33 new intelligent monitoring points to strengthen security.

The exact moment of the execution of Fermín Cortés Burgos

"This is the exact moment of the execution Fermín Cortés Burgos former director of the Cereso de Cancún, recorded this morning in the state capital, the police commander was shot by gunmen of the Caborca cartel with long weapons known as cuernos de chivo (AK-47). "
