</p><p>Las carpas bloquean una importante calle comercial en el centro hist&#243;rico de la Ciudad de M&#233;xico, junto a una barricada met&#225;lica y una fila de polic&#237;as resguardados bajo lonas de pl&#225;stico para protegerse de la lluvia torrencial. Cerca de all&#237;, maestros fr&#237;en tacos de cerdo bajo una lona, &#8203;&#8203;tras haber sido desalojados de la plaza del Z&#243;calo el mes pasado para que el gobierno pudiera construir una zona de &#8220;fan fest&#8221; para el inicio del Mundial el jueves. Dos turistas ingleses con camisetas verdes de la selecci&#243;n mexicana deambulan confundidos desde el metro, plagado de obras, hasta la barricada met&#225;lica, y luego se sientan en un restaurante al aire libre para tomar cervezas de un litro a media tarde.</p><p>En otro lado de la extensa capital, madres de hijos desaparecidos cuelgan mantas de un puente con los rostros de sus seres queridos. Mientras tanto, en la autopista sur que conduce a la ciudad, la polic&#237;a detiene autobuses de estudiantes de la escuela de formaci&#243;n de maestros de Ayotzinapa, famosa por la desaparici&#243;n de 43 estudiantes en 2014. La polic&#237;a afirma que el lunes encontraron 59 explosivos caseros en los autobuses (aunque se asemejan m&#225;s a c&#243;cteles molotov que a bombas) y culpan a dos estudiantes a quienes apodan &#8220;El Coquillo&#8221; y &#8220;El Mamado&#8221;.</p><p>Para colmo de la euforia, manifestantes, entre ellos anarquistas, pintaron grafitis contra el Mundial. Mientras tanto, los due&#241;os de bares expresaron su indignaci&#243;n porque la FIFA exige una licencia especial para transmitir los partidos al p&#250;blico.</p><div

Aun as&#237;, la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum y la alcaldesa Clara Brugada esperaban menos caos cuando el silbato d&#233; inicio a la Copa Mundial a la 1 p. m. del jueves en el Estadio Azteca (que un banco renombr&#243; como Estadio Banorte y luego la FIFA renombr&#243; como Estadio Ciudad de M&#233;xico).</p><p>Para aliviar el caos vehicular y despejar las calles para los aficionados extranjeros que salen del aeropuerto, el gobierno ha declarado el jueves d&#237;a festivo escolar y ha pedido a los empleados que trabajen desde casa esta semana. Sin embargo, los manifestantes han anunciado m&#225;s marchas, incluso para la ma&#241;ana del jueves, con maestros, trabajadores petroleros, agricultores, camioneros, trabajadores de salud y madres  buscadoras de sus hijos planeando partir desde diferentes puntos para dirigirse al estadio.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Close by, school teachers fry pork tacos under a tarp, after being pushed out of the central Zocalo square last month so the government can build a fan fest zone for the kick off of the World Cup on Thursday.

Police say that on Monday they found 59 homemade explosives on the buses (although they are more on the level of Molotov cocktails than bombs) and <a href="https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/nacion/el-coquillo-detras-del-traslado-de-explosivos-en-autobus-de-ayotzinapa-autoridades-identifican-tambien-a-el-mamado/">they blame them</a> on two students they say are nicknamed &#8220;El Coquillo&#8221; and &#8220;El Mamado.&#8221; </p><p>Adding to the fiesta, protesters including anarchists spray anti World Cup graffiti.

Still, President Claudia Sheinbaum and Mayor Clara Brugada hoped for less chaos as the whistle will start the World Cup at 1 pm on Thursday at the Azteca Stadium (which a bank renamed the Banorte Stadium and then FIFA has renamed the Mexico City Stadium). </p><p>To alleviate grid-lock and clear streets for foreign football fans pouring out the airport, the government has made Thursday a school holiday and called on employees to do home office this week. But protesters have announced more marches, including on Thursday morning itself, with teachers, oil workers, farmers, truckers, health workers, and searching mothers planning to set off from different points to descend on the stadium. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

</p><p><em>Me entusiasma presentarles a Stephen Woodman, nuevo colaborador de CrashOut, un compatriota brit&#225;nico que vive en Guadalajara desde 2012 y que est&#225; en una posici&#243;n ideal para escribir este revelador informe sobre las alegr&#237;as y las penas de la capital del mariachi a medida que nos acercamos al Mundial.</em></p><p><strong>Por Stephen Woodman</strong></p><p>Ubicado en el extremo noroeste de Guadalajara, el Estadio Akron es una impresionante obra de arquitectura de estilo &#8220;high-tech&#8221; y cuenta con un ambiente vibrante como sede de Chivas, conocido como el Equipo del Pueblo. El club, singularmente, solo emplea futbolistas mexicanos y, como resultado, posee la mayor cantidad de jugadores en la reci&#233;n anunciada selecci&#243;n nacional de M&#233;xico, o El Tri.</p><p>El estadio albergar&#225; cuatro partidos del Mundial, que comienza la pr&#243;xima semana. Para el torneo, ha sido rebautizado como Estadio Guadalajara, destacando su ubicaci&#243;n en la capital del estado de Jalisco, famoso por ser la cuna del tequila y el mariachi. Vivo en esta extensa ciudad de cinco millones de habitantes desde 2012, y tambi&#233;n cuenta con lujosos complejos residenciales, restaurantes con estrellas Michelin, vibrantes clubes nocturnos e importantes eventos culturales, incluido el festival literario m&#225;s grande de Latinoam&#233;rica.</p><p>Sin embargo, tiene un lado oscuro muy serio.</p><p>A poca distancia del estadio se encontraba una casa de seguridad del c&#225;rtel, que las fuerzas federales mexicanas allanaron en enero, deteniendo a cinco presuntos secuestradores. El grupo supuestamente hab&#237;a secuestrado y encarcelado a seis hombres, quienes fueron liberados de otro edificio.</p><p>La tragedia radica en que los habitantes locales ni siquiera se sorprendieron, ya que la ciudad es el basti&#243;n del temido C&#225;rtel Jalisco Nueva Generaci&#243;n, la organizaci&#243;n criminal m&#225;s poderosa de M&#233;xico. En febrero, este suceso acapar&#243; la atenci&#243;n mundial despu&#233;s de que soldados mexicanos abatieran a tiros al l&#237;der del C&#225;rtel Jalisco, Nemesio &#8220;El Mencho&#8221; Oseguera, y sus sicarios asesinaran a soldados, incendiaran edificios y bloquearan carreteras en todo M&#233;xico.</p><p>En Guadalajara, el gobierno activ&#243; la alerta roja, suspendiendo las actividades p&#250;blicas y obligando a los negocios a cerrar. La ciudad qued&#243; en silencio mientras los residentes se refugiaban en sus casas, y las escuelas permanecieron cerradas durante dos d&#237;as, lo que oblig&#243; a muchos padres (entre los que me incluyo) a intentar explicar a sus hijos peque&#241;os lo que estaba sucediendo afuera.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Sin embargo, a&#250;n se encuentra inmerso en la implacable guerra entre c&#225;rteles, que podr&#237;a haber causado m&#225;s de 300.000 homicidios desde 2006, mientras que el gobierno mantiene una

revealing report on the joys and pains of the capital of mariachi as we head into the World Cup.</em></p><p><strong>By Stephen Woodman</strong></p><p>Carved into the northwestern edge of Guadalajara, the Akron Stadium is an impressive work of high-tech architecture and has a roaring atmosphere as the home of Chivas, known as the <em>Equipo del Pueblo, </em>or &#8220;team of the people.&#8221; Uniquely, the club only employs Mexican footballers, and as a result has the most players in Mexico&#8217;s just-announced national squad, or <em>El Tri</em>. </p><p>The stadium will host four games in the World Cup, which is kicking off next week. For the tournament, it has been rebranded as the Estadio Guadalajara, underlining its location in the capital of Jalisco state, famed as the birthplace of tequila and mariachi. I&#8217;ve been living in the sprawling city of five million since 2012, and it also boasts glitzy housing complexes, Michelin star restaurants, booming night clubs, and major cultural events including the biggest book festival in Latin America. </p><p>Yet, it has a serious dark side.  </p><p>A short walk from the stadium was a cartel safe house, which Mexican federal forces stormed in January, detaining five suspected kidnappers. The group had allegedly seized and imprisoned six men, who were freed from another building.</p><p>The tragedy is that local people were not even shocked as the city is the bastion of the feared Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the most powerful crime mob in Mexico. In February, this grabbed global attention after Mexican soldiers shot dead the Jalisco Cartel boss Nemesio &#8220;El Mencho&#8221; Oseguera and his thugs assassinated soldiers, burned buildings and blockaded roads across Mexico. </p><p>In Guadalajara, the government activated a code-red alert, suspending public activities and prompting businesses to shutter. The city fell silent as residents sheltered indoors, and schools were closed for two days, leaving parents (including myself) to struggle to explain to their young children what was happening outside.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

There are 16,000 missing people in the state according to the official count, while collectives of family members estimate there could be up to 26,000 disappeared.</p><p>&#8220;We could be watching the match around the stadium&#8230; and they could have [victims] in safe houses, shackled, handcuffed, literally chained like in the age of the Inquisition,&#8221; said Isabel Velarde, whose own son was seized by an armed group in 2018. </p><p>Cleaning streets and painting buildings for the World Cup is an attempt to &#8220;sportswash&#8221; the problems, activists say. &#8220;It&#8217;s like when someone comes to your house unexpectedly and you tidy up as best you can,&#8221; Velarde said. </p><p>This clash of culture and progress with violence and pain reflects a bigger paradox in Mexico, the co-host of the 2026 World Cup along with the United States and Canada. The opening game of Mexico versus South Africa will be played at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on June 11 and the government has been frantically painting and decorating the unruly metropolis. In total, 13 games will be played between Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, close to the border with Texas. </p><p>Over the last decade, Mexico has seen <a href="https://www.bbvaresearch.com/en/publicaciones/mexico-notable-progress-poverty-at-its-lowest-level-of-296-but-inequalities-persist/">a reduction in extreme poverty</a>, a big boost in the number university students, and<a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-visited-countries"> is the sixth </a>most visited country for tourists.

than 300,000 murders since 2006, while the government has <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/28/mexico-disappeared-numbers-00849379">a list of more than 130,000 disappeared.</a>   </p><div

Generaci&#243;n, que es activo en el narcotr&#225;fico y otras actividades delictivas en todo el hemisferio. Por otro lado, Monterrey, capital econ&#243;mica de M&#233;xico y sede de selecciones como Suecia, Jap&#243;n y Corea del Sur, es escenario de disputas entre el C&#225;rtel del Noreste y el C&#225;rtel del Golfo, que trafican drogas, personas y petr&#243;leo robado a trav&#233;s de la frontera con Estados Unidos hacia Texas.</p><p>Entre los incidentes recientes, el c&#225;rtel de Jalisco llev&#243; a cabo en febrero m&#225;s de 250 ataques en todo M&#233;xico, bloqueando calles con camiones e incendiando comercios despu&#233;s de que soldados mexicanos abatieran a tiros a su l&#237;der supremo, El Mencho. Luego, en abril, en la ciudad fronteriza de Reynosa, el C&#225;rtel del Golfo incendi&#243; edificios tras la detenci&#243;n de un capo conocido como Metro 9. Los tres c&#225;rteles han perpetrado asesinatos en masa a lo largo de los a&#241;os, provocando tiroteos en las calles y enterrando cad&#225;veres en fosas comunes (incluida una a tan solo 13 km del Estadio Akron de Guadalajara).</p><p>Sin embargo, seg&#250;n dos funcionarios de seguridad mexicanos y dos afiliados a c&#225;rteles entrevistados por CrashOut, los c&#225;rteles de estas zonas han ordenado a sus operativos que no molesten a los turistas, a los equipos de f&#250;tbol ni a los funcionarios de la FIFA durante el Mundial.</p><p>&#8220;No quieren meterse en m&#225;s problemas&#8221;, dijo un comandante de polic&#237;a del estado de Jalisco, donde se encuentra Guadalajara. &#8220;Son inteligentes en su forma de actuar. Van a ser prudentes&#8221;.</p><p>Seg&#250;n explic&#243;, la polic&#237;a de Jalisco est&#225; m&#225;s atenta a los disturbios protagonizados por delincuentes comunes que, al no pertenecer a estos c&#225;rteles, podr&#237;an intentar robar a los turistas. A&#241;adi&#243; que contrarrestar&#225;n esta amenaza con una fuerte presencia policial, incluyendo un importante despliegue de agentes de civil, as&#237; como unidades de la Guardia Nacional y del ej&#233;rcito cerca del estadio.</p><p>El Departamento de Seguridad de Nuevo Le&#243;n, ciudad donde se ubica Monterrey, inform&#243; por escrito a CrashOut que m&#225;s de 15,000 agentes de agencias municipales, estatales y federales se encargar&#225;n de la seguridad en los partidos. &#8220;Fuerza Civil [polic&#237;a de Nuevo Le&#243;n] y polic&#237;as municipales han recibido formaci&#243;n en &#8220;Control de Multitudes&#8221; y &#8220;Atenci&#243;n T&#225;ctica en Eventos Masivos&#8221;, con apoyo de autoridades de Estados Unidos y FIFA&#8221;, indic&#243;.</p><p>Ciudad de M&#233;xico, que albergar&#225; cinco partidos del Mundial, incluyendo el partido inaugural el 11 de junio, no sufre la extrema violencia de los c&#225;rteles. Si bien las mafias del crimen organizado tienen presencia en la capital, no desatan el nivel de asesinatos y caos que se vive en unas otras partes de M&#233;xico, y su tasa de homicidios es menor que la de decenas de ciudades estadounidenses. Sin embargo, son frecuentes las protestas, como la actual acampada de un sindicato de maestros.</p><p>En Guadalajara, un miembro del C&#225;rtel de Jalisco afirm&#243; que se hab&#237;an dado &#243;rdenes estrictas de no da&#241;ar a los extranjeros que&#8230;</p><p><em>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer esta historia.

Generation Cartel, which runs narco trafficking and other rackets across the hemisphere. Mexico&#8217;s business capital of Monterrey, meanwhile, which will host teams including Sweden, Japan and South Korea, is fought over by the Northeast Cartel and Gulf Cartel, who run drugs, human smuggling and stolen oil over the U.S. border into Texas.   </p><p>Among recent incidents, the Jalisco mob in February <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/the-menchazo-leaves-more-than-60?utm_source=publication-search">carried out more than</a> 250 attacks across Mexico, blocking streets with trucks and burning stores after Mexican soldiers shot dead its supreme leader El Mencho. Then in the border city of Reynosa in April, the Gulf Cartel torched buildings following the arrest of a boss <a href="https://www.infobae.com/mexico/2026/04/27/captura-de-metro-9-exhibe-estructura-de-mando-de-los-metros-en-reynosa/">known as Metro 9</a>. All three cartels have unleashed mass murder over the years, lighting up streets with firefights and burying bodies in mass graves (<a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/the-killing-fields-of-el-mencho">including one</a> just 13 km from Guadalajara&#8217;s Akron Stadium).</p><p>However, cartels in these areas have ordered their operatives not to mess with tourists, football teams or FIFA officials during the World Cup, according to two Mexican security officials and two cartel affiliates interviewed by CrashOut. </p><p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t want to bring more trouble on themselves,&#8221; said a police commander in Jalisco state, home to Guadalajara. &#8220;They are intelligent in how they operate. They are going to be prudent.&#8221;</p><p>Police in Jalisco, he said, are instead watching out more for trouble from regular criminals who are not part of these cartels but could try to steal from tourists. They will be countering this threat with a huge police presence, he said, including a major deployment of plainclothes officers, as well National Guard and army units near the stadium. </p><p>The Security Department in Nuevo Le&#243;n, home to Monterrey, said in a written response to CrashOut that more than 15,000 officers, from city, state and federal agencies, will secure games there. &#8220;Officers of the Fuerza Civil [Nuevo Le&#243;n police] and municipal police have received training in Crowd Control and Tactical Attention to Mass Events with support from U.S. authorities and FIFA,&#8221; it said. </p><p>Mexico City, which will host five World Cup games including the opening match on June 11, does not suffer from extreme cartel violence. While the crime mafias have operatives in the capital they do not unleash the level of murder and mayhem suffered in various other parts of Mexico, <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/mexico-citys-murder-rate-is-lower?utm_source=publication-search">and it has a homicide rate</a> lower than dozens of U.S. cities. However, it often has protests, including a current encampment by a teacher trade union. </p><p>In Guadalajara, a Jalisco Cartel operative said that strict orders had been given not to hurt foreigners who&#8230; </p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read this story.

here.</a></p><p>En los 12 meses que terminaron en junio de 2023, Estados Unidos registr&#243; su mayor n&#250;mero de muertes por sobredosis, con 111.466 v&#237;ctimas reportadas y estimaciones de incluso m&#225;s. Este podr&#237;a ser el punto &#225;lgido de la crisis de drogas m&#225;s letal de la historia mundial, aunque no contamos con cifras fiables sobre las muertes por sobredosis en China durante las Guerras del Opio. Desde el a&#241;o 2000, m&#225;s de 1,3 millones de estadounidenses han muerto por sobredosis, una cifra similar a la suma de las bajas militares estadounidenses en todas las guerras desde la independencia.</p><p>En el pico de 2023, se encontraron opioides sint&#233;ticos, principalmente fentanilo, en los cuerpos de aproximadamente el 70 por ciento de las v&#237;ctimas. Los c&#225;rteles mexicanos fabrican gran parte de este narc&#243;tico, que es conocido por ser unas 50 veces m&#225;s potente que la hero&#237;na, utilizando precursores que compran en China y otros pa&#237;ses de Asia.</p><p>El a&#241;o fiscal 2023 tambi&#233;n registr&#243; un r&#233;cord de incautaciones de fentanilo en la frontera estadounidense, con agentes que confiscaron 27 000 libras de la droga. Es un clich&#233; en las declaraciones de las fuerzas del orden, pero realmente ser&#237;a suficiente para acabar con toda la poblaci&#243;n de Estados Unidos.</p><p>Desde entonces, sin embargo, la situaci&#243;n ha cambiado notablemente. Tras ese pico, las muertes por sobredosis han disminuido de forma constante hasta alcanzar las 68.632 notificadas (y casi 70.000 estimadas) en el a&#241;o que finaliz&#243; en diciembre pasado (el mes m&#225;s reciente del que disponemos de cifras), lo que supone un descenso del 38 por ciento. Si bien el n&#250;mero de v&#237;ctimas mortales sigue siendo elevado, se trata de una mejora significativa. Existen diversas teor&#237;as sobre las causas de este descenso, que abordar&#233; m&#225;s adelante, pero la oferta parece ser uno de los factores, dado que ahora se encuentran drogas en la calle con ingredientes menos letales.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

This might be the peak of the most lethal drug crisis in world history, although we don&#8217;t have solid numbers for overdose deaths in China at the time of the Opium Wars. Since the year 2000, more than 1.3 million Americans have died of OD&#8217;s, about as many as <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1009819/total-us-military-fatalities-in-american-wars-1775-present/?srsltid=AfmBOor0KeMWV-0Met_IzawnIhsY5aiz0MW8soFtjZhdkgWoElCo-iWT">the combined </a>U.S. military deaths in all wars since independence.   </p><p>In that high of 2023, synthetic opioids, mostly fentanyl, were found in the bodies of about 70 percent of victims. Cartels in Mexico cook up much of the narcotic, which is famously about 50 times stronger than heroin, using precursors they buy in China and elsewhere in Asia. </p><p>The fiscal year 2023 also had a record for fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border with agents nabbing 27,000 pounds of the drug. It&#8217;s a clich&#233; in law enforcement claims but that really would be enough to kill the entire population of the United States.  </p><p>Since then, however, the situation has changed markedly. Following that peak, overdose deaths have gone down steadily to 68,632 reported (and almost 70,000 estimated) in the year to last December (the most recent month we have figures for), a fall of 38 percent. While the number of casualties is still high, it&#8217;s a significant improvement. There are various theories about what caused this drop, which I will get into, but supply appears to be one of various factors with street dope <a href="https://www.phillyvoice.com/overdose-deaths-fentanyl-drought-drug-addiction/">being found </a>with less lethal ingredients. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png" width="400" height="227.1978021978022" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:827,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:400,&quot;bytes&quot;:249750,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/197387888?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uQI7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae1b345b-12b8-40d6-a68d-3df17c5e18ec_2230x1266.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>At the same time, the amount of fentanyl being seized at the border has gone down more sharply still. When less drugs are being seized this usually means less are being smuggled, and the Trump administration has actually put more agents on the border. The seizures fell most acutely after President Claudia Sheinbaum came to office in October 2024 and have been consistently lower since. </p><p>This April, U.S. agents seized 463 pounds of fentanyl at the border compared to an all-time high of 3,200 pounds in the same month in 2023. That is a drop of a stunning 86 percent - although the comparison of the last 12 months compared to the peak year is down about 60 percent.</p><p>&#8220;The numbers have dropped tremendously,&#8221; Victor Avila, the Assistant Director at the Office of The Drug Czar tells CrashOut. &#8220;Mexico is feeling the pressure from this [Trump] administration saying, &#8216;You got to act. You got to do more than what you have been doing.&#8221; And they have.&#8221; </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png" width="416" height="344.57142857142856" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1206,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:416,&quot;bytes&quot;:361604,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/197387888?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wk0a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffc13e0fe-dadc-44ee-8bf3-7036a59cb2d2_1804x1494.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>A way that Sheinbaum&#8217;s government, with security secretary Omar Garc&#237;a Harfuch, has managed to reduce fentanyl is by&#8230;

here.</a></p><p>Al amanecer de hoy, los automovilistas que circulaban por la carretera a Escuinapa, Sinaloa, presenciaron la escalofriante imagen de una cabeza humana clavada en un puente junto a una narcomanta con un mensaje amenazante. Poco despu&#233;s, se difundi&#243; un video macabro en grupos de WhatsApp de Sinaloa que mostraba una pila de cad&#225;veres y cinco cabezas cercenadas alineadas en el suelo.</p><p>En el video, un pistolero empuja una cabeza con el pie y dice: &#8220;Voy a llevar al G&#252;ero Pin ese&#8221;, refiri&#233;ndose a un comandante en Escuinapa de la facci&#243;n de los Chapitos del C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa. La cabeza que aparece en el video parece ser la que est&#225; en el puente, y la masacre parece ser de operativos de El G&#252;ero Pin, lo que representa un golpe estrat&#233;gico para las fuerzas de los Chapitos en la zona.</p><p>Este es uno de los muchos ataques perpetrados este mes contra los Chapitos, liderados por los hijos del narco encarcelado Joaqu&#237;n &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzm&#225;n. Hombres armados irrumpieron en la colonia El Palmito de Culiac&#225;n, capital del estado, conocido desde hace tiempo como basti&#243;n de los Chapitos, incendiando edificios y acribill&#225;ndolos a balazos. Se han encontrado cad&#225;veres en toda la zona urbana de Culiac&#225;n, varios de ellos con mensajes escritos a mano que los identifican como miembros de los Chapitos.</p><p>Desde que los fiscales estadounidenses revelaron en abril que hab&#237;an imputado al gobernador de Sinaloa, Rub&#233;n Rocha, por presunta colaboraci&#243;n con los Chapitos, la facci&#243;n rival de los Mayos ha estado atacando duramente a los Chapitos y ganando terreno considerable. Con esta nueva ofensiva, los Mayos podr&#237;an lograr una victoria inminente que pondr&#237;a fin a una batalla entre el c&#225;rtel que ha devastado el estado durante 20 meses. Sin embargo, esto ilustra el viejo problema de la guerra contra las drogas: cuando el gobierno ataca a un clan de narcos, inevitablemente ayuda a sus enemigos.</p><p>Seg&#250;n un exinvestigador federal mexicano y un empresario de Culiac&#225;n que ha trabajado con el c&#225;rtel, los Mayos se han adentrado en colonias de Culiac&#225;n como La Pemex, Barrancos, Vallado Viejo y Rafael Buelna. &#8220;Los Chapos ya no cuentan con la protecci&#243;n del gobierno en estos lugares&#8221;, afirm&#243; el empresario. &#8220;Son muy vulnerables en este momento&#8221;.</p><p>Los Mayos est&#225;n difundiendo en redes sociales la afirmaci&#243;n de que la p&#233;rdida de Rocha ha debilitado a los Chapitos. En uno de ellos, un hombre con pasamonta&#241;as y gafas de sol habla de la ca&#237;da de los Chapitos, mostrando una foto de su l&#237;der, Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, e im&#225;genes de pizzas, s&#237;mbolo de la facci&#243;n.</p><p>&#8220;Los Chapitos han perdido totalmente el control de Culiac&#225;n&#8230; Se han quedado sin apoyo pol&#237;tico, sin protecci&#243;n desde arriba&#8221;, afirma. &#8220;Quienes antes eran intocables ahora est&#225;n escondidos&#8221;.</p><p>La acusaci&#243;n estadounidense tambi&#233;n imputa a otros nueve funcionarios, actuales y antiguos, del C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa, entre ellos un senador, el alcalde de Culiac&#225;n y polic&#237;as y fiscales estatales, afectando a toda la red de presunta protecci&#243;n del c&#225;rtel.

aqu&#237;.</a></p><p><em>Updated at 1:20 pm Friday, May 15, with self surrender of M&#233;rida S&#225;nchez.</em></p><p>At dawn this morning, motorists on the road to Escuinapa, Sinaloa, saw the chilling sight of a human head stuck on a bridge along with a blanket, or <em>narco manta</em>, with a threatening message. Soon after, a gruesome video was sent around Sinaloa WhatsApp groups showing a pile of corpses and five severed heads in a row on the dirt. </p><p>In the video, a gunman pushes one head with his foot and says, &#8220;We&#8217;ll show this to <em>El Guero Pin</em>,&#8221; referring to a commander in Escuinapa for the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The head from the video appears to be the one on the bridge, and the massacre looks like it is of Guero Pin operatives, which is a strategic blow to Chapitos forces in the area. </p><p>It&#8217;s one of many hits this month on the Chapitos, who are headed by sons of the imprisoned drug lord Joaqu&#237;n &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzm&#225;n. Gunmen stormed the Palmito neighborhood of state capital Culiac&#225;n, long known as a Chapitos stronghold, <a href="https://losnoticieristas.com/policiaca/2026/05/hay-una-gondola-y-una-camioneta-quemadas-vandalizan-un-local-y-una-vivienda-en-distintos-puntos-de-el-palmito-en-culiacan-1052962/">burning buildings</a> and spraying them with bullets. Corpses have been dumped across the Culiac&#225;n urban area, several along with scrawled messages claiming them as Chapitos members. </p><p>Since U.S. prosecutors in April <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/bomb-drop-us-indicts-sinaloa-governor">revealed they had</a> indicted Sinaloa governor Rub&#233;n Rocha for allegedly working with the Chapitos, the rival Mayos faction has been hitting the Chapitos hard and gaining substantial turf. With the new offensive, the Mayos could score an imminent victory finally ending a cartel battle that has devastated the state for 20 months. Yet it illustrates the old drug war problem that when the government hits one clan of narcos it inevitably helps its enemies.  </p><p>The Mayos have pushed into neighborhoods in Culiac&#225;n including La Pemex, Barrancos, Vallado Viejo, and Rafael Buelna, according to a former Mexican federal investigator and a Culiac&#225;n businessman who has worked with the cartel. &#8220;The Chapos haven&#8217;t got the government protecting them in these places anymore,&#8221; said the businessman. &#8220;They are really vulnerable right now.&#8221;    </p><p>The Mayos are broadcasting the claim that the loss of Rocha has weakened the Chapitos in videos that circulate on social media. In one, a man in a ski mask and sun glasses talks of the downfall of the Chapitos, showing a photo of their boss, Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, and pictures of pizzas, a symbols of the faction.  </p><p>&#8220;The Chapitos have totally lost control of Culiac&#225;n&#8230;They are left without political support, without protection from above,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Those who before were untouchable are now in hiding.&#8221; </p><p>The U.S. indictment also charges nine other current and former Sinaloa officials, including a senator, Culiac&#225;n mayor, and state police and prosecutors, hitting the whole network of alleged cartel protection. Both Rocha and the senator are in Mexico&#8217;s governing Morena party. While President Claudia Sheinbaum has asked U.S. prosecutors for more evidence before ordering arrests, Rocha has taken leave and the officials are lying low. </p><p>On Friday, it was announced that one of the accused, former Sinaloa public security chief Gerardo M&#233;rida S&#225;nchez, had crossed into Arizona on Monday and handed himself in. Prison records show he is now being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, along with El Mayo and former Venezuelan President Nicol&#225;s Maduro.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png" width="484" height="159.22802197802199" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:479,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:484,&quot;bytes&quot;:281735,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/197562650?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gXR!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9fea3cb-f287-4457-b11b-d6ca89775352_1720x566.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>As well being beaten back in the state capital, the Chapitos are losing control of their <em>plazas</em>, or turfs, in small towns and villages, the sources said, including&#8230;</p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read this story.

To read the lastest version in English, <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/did-cia-hit-a-sinaloa-narco-with">click here. </a></p><p>A finales de marzo, una camioneta que sal&#237;a del aeropuerto AIFA, en las afueras de la Ciudad de M&#233;xico, explot&#243; en la carretera, cruz&#243; varios carriles y se estrell&#243;, causando la muerte de sus dos ocupantes. El conductor y el pasajero eran ambos de Sinaloa; el segundo fue identificado como Francisco Beltr&#225;n, alias &#8220;El Pay&#237;n&#8221;, presunto miembro influyente del C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa y lugarteniente de un capo conocido como El Me&#241;o.</p><p>Si bien la prensa mexicana inform&#243; inicialmente que un coche bomba hab&#237;a provocado la explosi&#243;n, la fiscal&#237;a del Estado de M&#233;xico, donde ocurrieron las muertes, ofreci&#243; informaci&#243;n limitada y sugiri&#243; que podr&#237;a tratarse de una falla mec&#225;nica. La historia qued&#243; sin resolver.</p><p>Sin embargo, este martes, CNN inform&#243; sobre la explosiva acusaci&#243;n de que la CIA estuvo involucrada en el ataque en el marco de una guerra encubierta contra objetivos del narco al sur de la frontera. &#8220;La operaci&#243;n Beltr&#225;n fue parte de una campa&#241;a ampliada, y hasta ahora desconocida, de la CIA dentro de M&#233;xico, liderada por la &#233;lite y secreta Rama Terrestre de la agencia, para desmantelar las arraigadas redes de los c&#225;rteles&#8221;, afirma.</p><p>Adem&#225;s, el martes por la tarde, el New York Times inform&#243; que agentes de la CIA no estuvieron presentes en el lugar del atentado con coche bomba, pero s&#237; participaron en &#233;l. &#171;La CIA proporcion&#243; inteligencia y apoyo para la planificaci&#243;n de una operaci&#243;n reciente contra un miembro de un c&#225;rtel dentro de M&#233;xico&#187;, afirm&#243;.</p><p>El secretario de Seguridad de M&#233;xico, Omar Garc&#237;a Harfuch, y la CIA lo negaron r&#225;pidamente, y una cuenta de la CIA en X calific&#243; la historia de CNN como &#8220;informaci&#243;n falsa y sensacionalista que no sirve para nada m&#225;s que como campa&#241;a de relaciones p&#250;blicas para los c&#225;rteles y pone en riesgo vidas estadounidenses&#8221;.</p><p>Pero las acusaciones aumentaron la presi&#243;n sobre la ya fr&#225;gil alianza de seguridad entre Trump y Sheinbaum. El hecho de que los cargos se filtraran a periodistas en Estados Unidos debilita la posici&#243;n de Garc&#237;a Harfuch en M&#233;xico.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n plantearon m&#225;s interrogantes sobre el papel de la CIA en las operaciones mexicanas, un tema que ha estado en el punto de mira desde la muerte de dos agentes de la CIA en Chihuahua en abril. Si la CIA proporcion&#243; informaci&#243;n para el atentado con coche bomba, &#191;a qui&#233;n se la entreg&#243;? &#191;Est&#225;n los agentes de la CIA colaborando con agentes federales mexicanos o con el ej&#233;rcito mexicano en asesinatos? &#191;Han estado involucrados en otros asesinatos premeditados y podr&#237;a incluirse el de El Mencho?</p><p>Sin embargo, surge una cuesti&#243;n fundamental: &#191;son ciertas estas afirmaciones? Las historias presentan ciertas lagunas que generan dudas. La primera es&#8230;</p><p><em>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer esta historia. Pero solo cuesta lo mismo que una taza de caf&#233; y obtienen el archivo completo, que incluye <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/carlos-lehders-vida-loca-in-the-medellin">entrevistas exclusivas</a> con los mejores jugadores y <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/mexicos-cartel-map-2024">mapas del territorio del c&#225;rtel</a>.

</a></p><p>UPDATES throughout at 9:10 am on May 13</p><p>In late March, a pick up truck leaving the AIFA airport on the outskirts of Mexico City exploded on the highway, rolled across multiple lanes of traffic and crashed, leaving the two occupants dead. The driver and passenger were both from Sinaloa, the latter being identified as Francisco Beltr&#225;n, alias &#8216;El Pay&#237;n,&#8217; alleged to be a powerful member of the Sinaloa Cartel and lieutenant of a kingpin called El Me&#241;o. </p><p>While the Mexican press originally reported that a car bomb caused the explosion, prosecutors from Mexico State, where the deaths took place, gave limited information and threw out suggestions that it could have been a mechanical failure. The story was left with loose ends. </p><p>This Tuesday, however, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/12/politics/cia-drug-cartels-deadly-operations-mexico">CNN reported</a> the explosive charge that the CIA was involved in the attack in a covert war against narco targets south of the border. &#8220;The Beltran operation was part of an expanded, and previously unreported, CIA campaign inside Mexico &#8212; spearheaded by the agency&#8217;s elite and secretive Ground Branch &#8212; to dismantle the entrenched cartel networks,&#8221; <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/12/politics/cia-drug-cartels-deadly-operations-mexico">it says.</a></p><p>Furthermore, later Tuesday the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/world/americas/mexico-cia-cartels.html">reported</a> that CIA agents were not on the ground for the car bomb attack but they were involved in it. &#8220;The C.I.A. provided intelligence and planning support for a recent operation against a cartel operative inside Mexico,&#8221; it said. </p><p>Mexico&#8217;s security secretary Omar Garc&#237;a Harfuch and the CIA quickly denied it, with a CIA X account calling the CNN story, &#8220;false and salacious reporting that serves as nothing more than a PR campaign for the cartels and puts American lives at risk.&#8221; </p><p>But the claims ratcheted up pressure on the already fragile Trump-Sheinbaum security partnership. The fact the charges were leaked to reporters in the United States undermines Garc&#237;a Harfuch&#8217;s position in Mexico. </p><p>They also raised more questions about the CIA role in Mexican operations, which has been under the spotlight since two CIA agents died in Chihuahua in April. If the CIA provided information for the car bomb attack then who did they give that to? Are CIA operatives working with Mexican federal agents or the Mexican military in assassinations? Have they been involved in other deliberate killings and could that could include that of El Mencho?  </p><p>However, there is a central question of whether the claims are true. The stories have certain holes that raise questions. The first is&#8230;</p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read this story.

Los asaltantes pertenec&#237;an a un grupo guerrillero comunista que quer&#237;a secuestrar a Garza para pedir un rescate; Garza, que entonces ten&#237;a 81 a&#241;os, dirig&#237;a un imperio de cervecer&#237;as y f&#225;bricas y fund&#243; la prestigiosa universidad Tec de Monterrey.</p><p>Sin embargo, cuando un guerrillero se acerc&#243; a la ventanilla del Galaxie con un rifle, el conductor, Bernardo Chapa P&#233;rez, sac&#243; una pistola y dispar&#243;. En el forcejeo que sigui&#243;, murieron dos guerrilleros, Chapa, un guardaespaldas llamado Modesto Torres y el propio Garza. M&#225;s de 150.000 personas asistieron al funeral del magnate, considerado el empresario m&#225;s importante de Monterrey del siglo XX.</p><p>En exclusiva para CrashOut, publicamos aqu&#237; por primera vez informaci&#243;n de 55 p&#225;ginas de una investigaci&#243;n del FBI sobre el asesinato de Garza, obtenida mediante una solicitud de acceso a la informaci&#243;n p&#250;blica. Agentes del FBI han operado en M&#233;xico durante d&#233;cadas, junto con oficiales de la CIA, la DEA y otras agencias, y estaban interesados &#8203;&#8203;en un suceso tan importante como el asesinato del hombre al que describieron como un &#8220;multimillonario empresario mexicano&#8221;, y del grupo guerrillero responsable. El trabajo de las agencias estadounidenses al sur de la frontera reviste especial inter&#233;s tras la muerte de dos agentes de la CIA en M&#233;xico el mes pasado.</p><div

aqu&#237;.</a></p><p>By Juan Alberto Cedillo and Ioan Grillo</p><p>On the morning of Sept. 17, 1973, one of Mexico&#8217;s top businessmen, Eugenio Garza Sada, was riding to work in Monterrey in a black Ford Galaxie when a pick-up packed with gunmen cut in. The assailants were in a communist guerrilla group who wanted to kidnap Garza for ransom; Garza, then 81, ran an empire of breweries and factories and founded the prestigious Tec de Monterrey university.</p><p>However, when a guerilla came up to the Galaxie window with a rifle, the driver, Bernardo Chapa P&#233;rez, pulled out a pistol and fired. In the ensuing struggle, two guerillas, Chapa, a bodyguard called Modesto Torres, and Garza himself died. More than 150,000 people attended the funeral of the magnate, considered Monterrey&#8217;s foremost businessman of the twentieth century. </p><p>In a CrashOut exclusive, we publish here for the first time information from 55 pages of an FBI probe into Garza&#8217;s murder obtained through a freedom of information request. FBI agents have operated in Mexico <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/us-agent-on-mexico-ops-we-have-always">going back many decades</a>, along with officers from the CIA, DEA and other agencies, and were interested in such a major event as the killing of the man they described as a &#8220;Mexican multimillionaire industrialist,&#8221; and of the guerilla group behind it. The work of U.S. agencies south of the border is of particular interest following <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/cia-deaths-part-of-wider-push-into">the death of two CIA operatives</a> here last month. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

</a></p><p>Como ocurre con muchos pol&#237;ticos, existe una brecha entre lo que dice la presidenta mexicana Claudia Sheinbaum y lo que hace, especialmente en lo que respecta a la relaci&#243;n con Estados Unidos. En sus ruedas de prensa matutinas, dirigidas al p&#250;blico mexicano que lee las noticias y a la base de su partido Morena, adopta una postura nacionalista, defendiendo la soberan&#237;a mexicana frente al coloso intervencionista al norte del R&#237;o Bravo.</p><p>&#8220;No somos un protectorado de los Estados Unidos. No somos una colonia de los Estados Unidos&#8221;, dijo el lunes Sheinbaum, el ex cient&#237;fico de 63 a&#241;os.</p><p>Sin embargo, en la pr&#225;ctica, Sheinbaum ha cumplido con varias demandas clave del presidente Donald Trump desde que este regres&#243; al cargo el a&#241;o pasado. Su gobierno ayud&#243; a detener el flujo de migrantes indocumentados a trav&#233;s de M&#233;xico hacia la frontera con Estados Unidos, reduciendo los encuentros con la Patrulla Fronteriza al nivel m&#225;s bajo en d&#233;cadas (esto tambi&#233;n se debe a que Trump pr&#225;cticamente elimin&#243; el asilo en la frontera). Ha combatido el tr&#225;fico de fentanilo, por lo que las incautaciones de esta droga t&#243;xica en la frontera estadounidense disminuyeron un 72 por ciento el mes pasado en comparaci&#243;n con cuando asumi&#243; el cargo en octubre de 2024. Adem&#225;s, su gobierno ignor&#243; los procedimientos de extradici&#243;n para transferir a 92 presuntos altos mandos de c&#225;rteles a custodia estadounidense, incluido Rafael Caro Quintero, a quien la DEA busca desde 1985.</p><p>&#191;Se extender&#225; esta cooperaci&#243;n, sin embargo, a la extradici&#243;n de Rub&#233;n Rocha, miembro de Morena y gobernador de Sinaloa (hasta el fin de semana), a Nueva York, donde est&#225; acusado de trabajar con los Chapitos para traficar fentanilo, hero&#237;na, metanfetamina y coca&#237;na? La acusaci&#243;n contra Rocha, <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/bomb-drop-us-indicts-sinaloa-governor">que fue presentado el mi&#233;rcoles</a>, plantea el mayor desaf&#237;o de su presidencia hasta el momento, poni&#233;ndola en una posici&#243;n dif&#237;cil para mantener buenas relaciones tanto con Trump como con la c&#250;pula de Morena.</p><p>Entre los altos mandos de Morena, el partido nacionalista de izquierda fundado por Andr&#233;s Manuel L&#243;pez Obrador, o AMLO, se encuentra&#8230;</p><p><em>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer esta historia.

aqu&#237;.</a></p><p>As with many politicians, there is gap between what Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says and what she does, especially when it comes to the relationship with the United States. In her morning press briefings, which speak to the news-reading Mexican public and base of her Morena party, she takes a nationalist line, championing Mexican sovereignty against the interventionist colossus north of the Rio Grande. </p><p>&#8220;We are not a protectorate of the United States. We are not a colony of the United States,&#8221; Sheinbaum, the 63-year old former scientist, said Monday. </p><p>However, in actions, Sheinbaum has delivered to President Donald Trump on several key demands since he returned to office last year. Her government helped halt the flow of undocumented migrants though Mexico to the U.S. border, slashing Border Patrol encounters to the lowest in decades (this is also due to Trump largely killing asylum at the border).

Sin embargo, la materializaci&#243;n de estas acusaciones ha causado gran conmoci&#243;n en M&#233;xico y coloca a la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum en una posici&#243;n sumamente delicada.</p><p>Rocha y el senador Inzunza son miembros del partido gobernante Morena, al que pertenece Sheinbaum y que fue fundado por su predecesor y mentor Andr&#233;s Manuel L&#243;pez Obrador, o AMLO.

However, the reality of these charges is an earthquake in Mexico and puts Sheinbaum into a very challenging position.    </p><p>Rocha and Senator Inzunza are members of Sheinbaum&#8217;s governing Morena party, founded by her predecessor and mentor Andr&#233;s Manuel L&#243;pez Obrador, or AMLO. Amid accusations in Mexico that Rocha was corrupt, AMLO and Sheinbaum had stood by the governor. </p><p>Shortly after the charges were unveiled, Rocha wrote on X that the charges were false and without evidence, saying that he would demonstrate his innocence. Moreover, he claimed the United States was not only targeting him but the whole &#8220;Fourth Transformation,&#8221; as Morena calls its movement to reform Mexico. </p><p>&#8220;This attack is not only against my person, but the movement of the Fourth Transformation, and its emblematic leaders,&#8221; he wrote.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

un uniforme de la polic&#237;a mexicana y sali&#243; a arrestar a presuntos traficantes sobre quienes hab&#237;a recabado informaci&#243;n. En teor&#237;a, estaba all&#237; como &#8220;asesor t&#233;cnico&#8221;, pero su funci&#243;n se extendi&#243; a formar parte del escuadr&#243;n que derrib&#243; la puerta y a ayudar en el interrogatorio de los sospechosos.</p><p>&#8220;No solo estaba asesorando en la oficina de Ciudad de M&#233;xico donde est&#225;bamos organizando la operaci&#243;n. Tambi&#233;n estaba asesorando sobre el terreno cuando &#237;bamos a esposar a los tipos&#8221;, dice el agente, que todav&#237;a trabaja para el gobierno federal de Estados Unidos. &#8220;T&#233;cnicamente no est&#225;s mintiendo. Est&#225;s asesorando. Pero est&#225;s aconsejando: &#8216;&#191;Pueden separar a los dos acusados &#8203;&#8203;e interrogar a uno en una habitaci&#243;n y al otro en la otra, por favor?&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>La muerte de dos agentes de la CIA en Chihuahua el 19 de abril ha puesto de relieve las actividades estadounidenses al sur de la frontera. Ante la fuerte reacci&#243;n en M&#233;xico, la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum orden&#243; una investigaci&#243;n y el fiscal general de Chihuahua renunci&#243;.</p><p>Sin embargo, el agente describe c&#243;mo oficiales estadounidenses de agencias como la DEA, ICE, el FBI y la CIA han estado colaborando con las fuerzas del orden mexicanas en operativos desde la d&#233;cada de 1970, y especialmente en las &#250;ltimas dos d&#233;cadas. El principal motivo, explica, es asegurarse de que los polic&#237;as y soldados mexicanos realicen el arresto o la incautaci&#243;n y no acepten sobornos para eludir la responsabilidad.</p><p>&#8220;En M&#233;xico, la corrupci&#243;n est&#225; tan descontrolada que es necesario estar presente en la incautaci&#243;n. Es necesario estar presente en la detenci&#243;n, en el arresto&#8221;, afirma. &#8220;El gobierno estadounidense no se va a fiar de la palabra de ning&#250;n funcionario mexicano. Van a querer que el gobierno estadounidense lo presencie personalmente&#8221;.</p><p>Los dos agentes de la CIA fallecieron cuando su veh&#237;culo se sali&#243; de la carretera, cay&#243; a un barranco y explot&#243;.

aqu&#237;.</a></p><p>During the administration of Mexican President Felipe Calder&#243;n, an officer from one of the three-letter agencies stationed at the U.S. embassy describes how he put on a Mexican police uniform and rode out to arrest suspected traffickers who he had gathered intelligence on. He was in theory there as a &#8220;technical adviser,&#8221; but that stretched to being with the squad that kicked down the door and helping with the interrogation of the suspects. </p><p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t only advising in the office in Mexico City where we were setting up the op. I was advising on the ground when we were going to go put handcuffs on the guys,&#8221; says the agent, who still works in the U.S. federal government. &#8220;You&#8217;re technically not lying. You&#8217;re advising. But you&#8217;re advising &#8216;Can you separate the two defendants and interview one in one room and one in the other please.&#8217; &#8221;</p><p>The April 19 <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/cia-deaths-part-of-wider-push-into">death of two CIA operatives</a> in Chihuahua has shined a spotlight on U.S. activities south of the border. Amid a backlash in Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum has ordered an investigation and the attorney general of Chihuahua <a href="https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2026/04/27/politica/renuncia-cesar-gustavo-jauregui-a-la-fiscalia-de-chihuahua">resigned today</a>. </p><p>Yet, the agent describes how U.S. officers, from agencies including the DEA, ICE, FBI and CIA, have been going with Mexican law enforcement on busts since right back to the 1970s and especially in the last two decades. The main motive, he says, is to make sure that Mexican cops and soldiers actually make the arrest or seizure and don&#8217;t take a bribe to walk away. </p><p>&#8220;In Mexico, the corruption runs so rampant that you need to have eyes on the seizure. You need to have eyes on the take-down, on the arrest,&#8221; he says. &#8220;The U.S. government is not going to take the word of any Mexican official. They are going to want the U.S. government to witness it themselves.&#8221;</p><p>The two CIA operatives died when their vehicle ran off the road into a ravine and exploded. The agent confirmed other reports they were wearing uniforms of the Chihuahua state investigation agency and went with cops on the raid on a meth mega lab in the southwest of the state near the border with Sinaloa. However, he added more details including on the immediate reaction after the crash. </p><p>The bodies of the CIA operatives, he said&#8230; </p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read this story.
