Sinaloa experienced a violent day, with up to 15 deaths reported at the start of the weekend.

José Maximiliano Insunza Ruiz, better known as "El Chochías" or "El 60," was captured by federal agents in the municipality of Navolato, Sinaloa. He is identified as an operative for Los Chapitos. At the same time, at least 15 people were reported dead in acts of violence in Sinaloa on Saturday.

Insunza Ruiz was arrested in the town of Campo Balbuena and in the municipality of Navolato. He is considered the right-hand man of Juan Carlos Bernal, alias "El 11," another operative of the criminal organization led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. This individual was captured by members of the Navy (Semar).

Upon his capture, "El Chochías" was seized from a 9mm pistol with seven magazines and 54 cartridges, as well as 95 bags of a substance similar to marijuana and 103 bags of a substance resembling crystal meth. Everything seized was turned over to the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

In another operation carried out in Navolato, Sinaloa, two other people were arrested, according to information from the Sinaloa Public Security Secretariat (SSPE). These individuals, whose identities have been withheld, were seized: an AK-47 rifle, an M4 rifle, two handguns, and 10 magazines of various calibers.

These arrests are in addition to the violent incidents reported in Sinaloa on Saturday: at least 15 bodies were found in different parts of the state, according to a report by José Luis Echegaray, a correspondent for Radio Fórmula, in a link with Juan Becerra Acosta.

The events of the violent day were concentrated in the municipalities of Ahome and Culiacán, according to a Radio Fórmula correspondent. All of these incidents occurred one year after the capture of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, one of the founders of the Sinaloa Cartel and head of the "Los Mayos" or "Los Mayitos" faction.

At least 1,632 people have died in acts of violence since July 2024; in addition, 1,500 people have been reported missing. The violence has not only disrupted the lives of residents but also business owners, who are forced to close their businesses earlier.

In this past week, authorities announced the deployment of 1,800 Army personnel to reinforce security in Sinaloa. Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch stated that criminal organizations, such as Los Chapitos, have been "reduced" by the operations.

The elite military special forces "Bats" group deploys a major operation in Guasave and Los Mochis: Sinaloa.

JULY 26, 2025

THIS INFORMATION WAS POSTED BY LUZ NOTICIAS 

In total, at least 14 Army units and 11 more from the federal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection were counted.

07/26/2025

A major operation by federal forces took place this Saturday afternoon in the municipalities of Guasave and Ahome, with the deployment of at least 14 pickup trucks from the Mexican Army's Special Forces Corps, known as "Murciélagos," in addition to 11 additional units from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), bearing the agency's characteristic black and white colors.

The convoy began its journey in Guasave, where the military personnel patrolled various parts of the city. They later moved to the municipality of Ahome and were seen in northern Los Mochis, in what is believed to be a coordinated surveillance and violence deterrent action.

To date, no clashes, arrests, or seizures have been reported as a result of this deployment. However, the presence of these elite units has raised concerns among the public due to their level of specialization and the number of units deployed.

This operation adds to a series of military actions that have been intensifying in Guasave for several weeks. The presence of the Army, the Mexican Navy, and the Interinstitutional Group has been constant in communities and neighborhoods of the municipality.

On Friday, Army paratroopers patrolled the districts of Nío, Estación Bamoa, and Unfonseca, while in Las Playitas they entered several homes, seizing a handgun and two loaded magazines.

That same night, a convoy of armored vehicles and an Ocelot-type unit patrolled areas such as San Francisco, 24 de Febrero, and surrounding areas. Their presence was also reported in communities near El Burrión.

On Saturday morning, at least three Navy units conducted patrols in various parts of the city, including the vicinity of the Municipal Cemetery, in an apparent surveillance and prevention strategy.

Although authorities have not issued official reports on the results, these operations are expected to continue as part of the increased security in the region.

One year after"El Mayo" Zambada was turned over to authorities and the death of Cuén, which sparked the war in Sinaloa.

 CHAR 

JULY 25, 2025 

INFORMATION BY LOS NOTICIERISTAS 

JULY 25, 2025 

The News

On July 25, 2024, one year ago, news of the arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada began to spread like wildfire in international, national, and Sinaloa media, as well as on social media and WhatsApp groups. But it wasn't the only news; there was also talk of the arrest of Joaquín Guzmán López, son of “El Chapo.” Both were being held by the United States government.

That same day, the Attorney General of the neighboring country, Merrick B. Garland, confirmed that “El Mayo” Zambada and “El Chapo's” son were detained in El Paso, Texas. Both were accused of multiple counts of criminal activity, as well as being part of that country's fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking network.

The hours passed, the news shook Sinaloa and the country, and no federal authority issued a statement. It was the following day, July 26, when the then President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, asked his Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), Rosa Icela Rodríguez, to provide the information they had.

The federal official stated that it was at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 25, when a call was received from the U.S. Embassy alerting them to the custody of both drug traffickers. The identities of both alleged criminals were later verified, prompting the Mexican government to request a photo and notify the secretaries of the Navy and the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena).

At the same time, Rosa Icela emphasized that "the Mexican government did not participate in this arrest or surrender, and we will continue to collaborate with the United States government," she said, leaving more questions than answers for Mexicans and unnerving the people of Sinaloa who, although they imagined what was coming, never realized the magnitude of this war fueled by drone attacks and explosive devices.

MAYO ZAMBADA

JOAQUIN GUZMAN LOPEZ

Zambada's Letter

Sixteen days after "El Mayo" was arrested, he broke his silence and shared a letter through his lawyer describing what happened on July 25 at the Huertos del Pedregal farm in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where he had supposedly been summoned to resolve the political conflict at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS).

In the letter, which was released on August 10, Ismael Zambada stated that he was the victim of an "ambush" orchestrated by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of "El Chapo" Guzmán, who allegedly kidnapped him to hand him over to the United States government.

I want to say from the outset that I did not surrender and I did not come to the United States voluntarily, nor did I have any agreement with either government. On the contrary, I was kidnapped and brought to the United States by force and against my will.

I also had no agreement with either government. On the contrary, I was kidnapped and brought to the United States by force and against my will,” he stated.

According to his account, Joaquín Guzmán López requested a meeting with Ismael Zambada to resolve some political differences in Sinaloa.

“El Mayo” shared that he arrived at the meeting place before 11:00 a.m. accompanied by four members of his security detail. Two remained outside the perimeter, while others entered with him: José Rosario Heras López, commander of the Judicial Police of the State of Sinaloa, and Rodolfo Chaidez, a longtime member of his security team.

On the way to the meeting area, he saw Cuén Ojeda and one of his aides, whom he greeted briefly. When he met Joaquín Guzmán López, the latter gestured for him to follow him, and they led him to another darkened room.

"As soon as I set foot inside that room, I was ambushed. A group of men assaulted me, threw me to the floor, and placed a dark-colored hood over my head. They tied me up and handcuffed me, and then forced me into the back of a pickup truck," recalled Zambada, who asserted that he was subjected to physical abuse that caused injuries to his back, knees, and wrists.

Later, they took him to a landing strip where they forced him onto a private plane with only the pilot, Joaquín, and himself on board. The flight lasted approximately three hours to El Paso, Texas, where US agents were already waiting for him.

"The notion that I voluntarily surrendered or cooperated is completely and unequivocally false. I was brought to this country by force and under duress, without my consent and against my will," he said.

Investigation Timeline

In August 2024, the Attorney General's Office requested the case and opened an investigation against Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López for the possible crimes of illegal flight; illegal use of air facilities; violation of immigration and customs laws; kidnapping; treason (Article 123 of the Federal Penal Code); and any other related charges.

The agency requested all relevant information from the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, which he provided to authorities and the media, demonstrating that he had not been in Sinaloa on the day of the alleged meeting at the farm. He also clarified that he was never aware of the meeting and that "El Mayo" had likely been summoned under this false pretense.

In February 2025, Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero confirmed that the Mexican government had requested Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's repatriation to Mexico from the moment he was arrested in the United States, as he has three arrest warrants against him in Mexico.

The Murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda

That same July 25, 2024, the day of the surrender of "El Mayo" along with the son of "El Chapo," but already after 9:00 p.m., Sinaloa was shaken again by the news of the attack on the leader of the Partido Sinaloense, Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda, at a gas station located on the Mexico 15 international highway, near the town of La Presita, north of Culiacán.

He was transferred to a private hospital in the city of Culiacán, but it was reported that he had arrived without vital signs. Reporters crowded outside the clinic, broadcasting live, still in disbelief at what was happening.

However, in the letter in which "El Mayo" describes how he was kidnapped, he revealed that Cuén was murdered on the same ranch and at the exact time he was taken from the farm to the United States.

I know that the official version given by the Sinaloa state authorities is that Héctor Cuén was shot on the night of July 25th at a gas station by two men on a motorcycle who wanted to steal his truck. That is not what happened. They killed him at the same time and in the same place where I was kidnapped," he stated.

Zambada García lamented the murder of someone he considered his friend, as well as the disappearance of two members of his security team: José Rosario Heras López and Rodolfo Chaidez. They remain missing to this day.

In August 2024, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) complained about inaccuracies in the investigation conducted by the Attorney General's Office of the State of Sinaloa into the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda. Among the most notable are:

The autopsy did not correctly establish the immediate cadaveric signs, temperature, thanatological signs, lividity, or the correct description and evolution of the body.

In August 2024, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) complained about inaccuracies in the investigation conducted by the Attorney General's Office of the State of Sinaloa into the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda. Among the most notable are:

The autopsy did not correctly establish the immediate cadaveric signs, temperature, thanatological signs, lividity, or the correct description and evolution of the body.

• The body has severe bruising on the head.
• The body was shot four times in the legs.
• The gas station video has sound, but only one gunshot can be heard.
• The crime scene and vehicle have not been criminally processed.
• Although there are human blood stains in the truck's bed, there are no expert reports or determinations on the matter.
• Nor have all the authorities involved complied with the body preservation measures, allowing cremation, which is contrary to criminalistic practices for homicide investigations.

For this reason, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) flatly rejected the version that Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda was murdered at a gas station in Culiacán, calling it "unacceptable" and a "set-up."

The Farm in Huertos del Pedregal

On August 21, Attorney General's Office agents located the farm named San Julián/Santa Julia, where the alleged meeting was held where Zambada García was kidnapped to be handed over to the United States government, and, it is now known, where Cuén Ojeda was murdered.

The property is located on the right side, at the end of the main avenue in the rural area, near the Bellavista police station, part of the Culiacancito municipality. It has a large wall with an electric fence at the top, security gates, a large pool, thatched roofs, grills, and beautiful gardens with palm trees.

At first glance, traces of dried blood were visible on the access ramp to the main entrance gate of the property. The Attorney General's Office began the searches on August 31.

In October 2024, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) reported that blood stains were found on the property, which federal forensic units have accurately determined correspond to the former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda. This confirms that the person was present at the scene of the kidnapping and that his bloodstains correspond to the time the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office has established as the time of his murder, which occurred many hours before the locally released video of a gas station, which has since been dismissed by the FGR itself.

It also reported that human blood was found in the bed of the vehicle, corresponding to Rodolfo "C," currently missing and referred to in Ismael Zambada's letter as his bodyguard or member of his security team.

For all of the above reasons, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) has initiated an investigation into the alleged criminal and administrative responsibilities of police officers, public prosecutors, experts, and various personnel from the Attorney General's Office of the State of Sinaloa, who have already been thoroughly investigated for their involvement in the death of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda.

Message of calm overtaken by reality

Days after Zambada's surrender, and given the context of the conditions in which it had taken place, journalists asked a Defense commander if they expected the violence in Sinaloa to escalate, and the answer was no.

I think not, but we will remain alert; we are prepared for any situation, with sufficient force to react to any eventuality. After this arrest, things have been relatively calm."

Things changed, and then a war between criminal groups would ensue, taking the streets as a battlefield and driving back the population.

September 9

Once the farm was located in August and the letter confirming the rumors was revealed: Ismael Zambada had been ambushed and handed over "by force" to the United States. On September 9, a shootout that left several soldiers wounded and one dead marked the beginning of the war between the two factions of the Sinaloa Cartel: on the one hand, the Zambadas' fury over the surrender of "El Mayo," and on the other, "Los Chapitos" defending the territory and containing the backlash attacks for having handed Ismael Zambada over to the US government.

At the end of his letter, "El Mayo" Zambada sent a message:

I also call on the people of Sinaloa to exercise restraint and maintain peace in our state. Nothing is resolved with violence. We've traveled that path, and we all lose," he concluded.

A message that was evidently not heeded by the groups that unleashed an era of shootouts fueled by explosive devices, executions, kidnappings, and bloodthirsty narco-messages accompanied by mutilated bodies, tire-punching in public spaces, attacks on homes, and assaults on the Mexican Army and police in Sinaloa. This has now lasted more than 10 months, resulting in the deaths of innocent people in the crossfire.

Today in Sinaloa, in addition to local police forces, there are federal reinforcements with more than 15,000 members of the Army, Navy, National Guard, and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection. Omar García Harfuch and President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's security cabinet are constantly visiting to restore peace and tranquility to the people of Sinaloa.

Despite the results of more than 1,500 arrests, the seizure of thousands of firearms, and even though there are less "ugly" days than at the beginning, the question for the people of Sinaloa remains the same: When will the violence end?

On Saturday, July 19, 2025, CJNG Cartel resumed its attacks against El Abuelo Farias/ Poncho La Quiringua/ El Guicho de Los Reyes/ and Los Caballeros Templarios. Simultaneously, the Jalisco Cartel New Generation armed wings, Fuerzas Especiales Mencho/ Grupo Delta, and Los Viagras Cartel (allies of CJNG) initiated an offensive attack on various flanks. The attacks of the CJNG Cartel occured in Tepalcatepec, banners were found in Los Reyes, and clashes occurred in Apatzingan. 

On Tuesday, July 23, 2025, a video surfaced of alleged townspeople in Michoacán supporting the recent attacks by the CJNG Cartel against its rivals.

Good evening to all the Michoacán citizens, federal government, and the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense. The day of a social uprising is very near. As citizens, we will protect our families and stop the murders of innocent, hardworking people committed by Wicho, Poncho, and Abuelo Farías. 

We say to the government, that if you are going to continue supporting the insults and abuses committed by these extortionists, the people will no longer allow it. Let them wage their war with other cartels. It's not fair that we, the people, have to pay for this.

Their extortion and fee collection business is lucrative. But now, they’re trying to recruit our wives and daughters to form so-called self-defense groups. Open your eyes: these self-defense groups are hitmen under the command of Wicho, Poncho, and Abuelo Farías. It's unjust to see them mess with the lives of people and hard working citizens.

We're fed up with their persecutions, the government's abuses, and their lies. The only thing they’ve ever given us was lots of empty promises. If Michoacán and Mexico need another revolution, it will be born here in Michoacán. The state of Michoacán will no longer live under the injustices of the government and the murders of the so-called self-defense groups.

As for you, Abuelo Farías, we all know that the government supports you with the weekly percentages you give them. Wicho and Poncho, we Michoacanos know that you are supported by the mayors of Los Reyes, Tingüindín, Tocimbo, and Cotija.

They’re the ones that allow them to have those scumbag public security directors who lend themselves to the disappearances of citizens and many other things. Let it be clear, government, this is our last warning. Expect us very soon.

JOSE RODRIGUEZ: While you were sleeping, 150 Mexican Army bats arrived to reinforce security here in Culiacán. They arrived at the Culiacán International Airport. Details with Sebastián Martínez. On with the report. 

SEBASTIAN MARTINEZ: Good morning. How are you, José? Good morning to you. Also, good morning to the entire Luz Noticias audience. Well, as you were saying, yesterday 150 Mexican Army special forces arrived, known as bats. These elements arrived at Military Air Base No. 10, which is located right where Culiacán International Airport is. The arrival of these elements was scheduled for 3 p.m. However, well, it was delayed. The first aircraft arrived at 5 P.M., between 5 and 5:30P.M. There were four Mexican Air Force C295 aircraft arriving, in which these 150 troops arrived. The first, as I mentioned, arrived around 5 p.m. Later, after 9 p.m., between 9 and 10 p.m., the other aircraft began to arrive, carrying the 150 troops, known as the bats of the Mexican Army's special forces. These troops are coming to reinforce security here in Culiacán after these events, which we are all aware of, and they will join the 11,000 Mexican Army troops already deployed in the different municipalities here in the state of Sinaloa. José, 

JOSE RODRIGUEZ: yes, we are seeing exclusive images there. of the arrival of these 150 bats that are coming down or were coming down from a Mexican Air Force plane, and there's the deployment. They're special elements, that's why they're classified as bats. Sebastián, 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, that's right. They're from the special forces. Uh, they call themselves bats. Even on their helmets, on their uniforms, they have bat logos plastered on them. That's how they identify themselves as members of the special forces, known as bats. And they came heavily armed with rifles, well, for the exclusive use of the Mexican army, like M4 carbines, mini rifles, and so on. José, 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, they are special elements, elements that have to carry out the mission no matter where they are sent. That's why they are called bats, and they are arriving after Omar García Harfuch's visit last Sunday. The bats come with a strategy, but they won't make it known, obviously. But these special elements are arriving, which are so needed. And there's also a lot of criticism that, oh, well, a number of elements from the Navy, the Army, the National Guard are arriving, but the clashes continue. Eh, armed people, armed civilians, continue circulating through the city of Culiacán, and the checkpoints they are setting up at some intersections are useless; they are only there to annoy people. Well, let's hope the bats work, that they arrive, that they put an end to all this. We're about to mark a year since this whole situation began between the Sinaloa cartel's organized crime groups. It's July 23rd.

Next Friday, July 25th, marks one year since the alleged kidnapping of Ismael Mayo Zambada to the United States. It hasn't been very clear what happened.  Well, these 150 bats have arrived.

We'll be keeping an eye on what their exact functions will be. I don't think they'll say it, Sebastián. 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, no, they don't usually say it. In fact, last Sunday, the federal security cabinet was meeting here in Culiacán, and General Ricardo Trevilla was announcing that they would implement new strategies. He announced that they had a force of around 11,000 troops here in Sinaloa. These 150 special forces are coming to Culiacán. However, they won't know exactly what tasks they will carry out, for their own safety and to ensure that the operations are successful, JOSE.

SEBASTIAN: Well, there are the images. Go to our Facebook page, go to our YouTube channel, Luz Noticias was there documenting the arrival of these 150 bats who are coming to join the security of Culiacán. Thank you for this report, Sebastián. Good morning.

Federal authorities captured him in Los Gavilanes

Elizabeth Ibal

Federal authorities arrested Ulises "N," alias "El 88" or "El Pinto," in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, the alleged leader of a violent criminal group in the state of Tabasco.

Members of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, the Secretariat of the Navy, in coordination with the Secretariat of National Defense and the Attorney General's Office, conducted investigative and intelligence work that led to the location of Ulises "N" in Tlajomulco.

Through collaborative work, his mobility and shelter areas were identified at different points in the state.

To capture him, fixed, mobile, and discreet surveillance was implemented, supported by technological tools, which allowed the vehicles and properties used by the alleged member of La Barredora to be identified.

Patrols were conducted in the Los Gavilanes neighborhood of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, where Ulises "N" was located. He was accompanied by another individual acting as an escort, and they were stopped.

Upon reviewing his information, his identity was confirmed, and federal agents served an arrest warrant for him for the crime of aggravated criminal association.

Both were subsequently transferred to Guadalajara International Airport for onward transfer to Mexico City to be brought before the Attorney General's Office.

Ulises is considered by federal authorities to be second-in-command of the "La Barredora" group, supported by the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel.

He is also accused of being a former member of the Security Force, where he allegedly met the former Secretary of Security of Tabasco, Hernán Bermúdez, whose security guard he also allegedly served as.

Undercover DEA Operation Takes Down Canadian Brothers Keeper Gang Leader Linked to Sinaloa & Kinahan Cartels

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

DEA announced it has largely dismantled a Canada based international drug cartel and arrested a notorious Indo-Canadian gangster, Opinder Singh Sian, better known as "Thanos," for running a global fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking ring from British Columbia, Canada.

Sian was arrested in Arizona on June 27 after his role in smuggling methamphetamine to Australia and chemicals for fentanyl production into the US via Canada. Much of the case focuses on methamphetamine shipments from Los Angeles to Australia, orchestrated by Sian, who acted as a proxy for transnational Mexican, Chinese, and Iranian networks, experts say.

The investigation which began in 2022, has revealed that Sian had operational ties with chemical suppliers linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.
