**Asterisk denotes death involving a police officer or a member of the military serving in that capacity. Some items may be from notirex.com.  Note:  Killings have become so routine that it is no longer possible to report them all. Newspapers will sometimes report that there were a total of X number of homicides in a locale instead of separately reporting each death.  This is complicated by the continuing threats of journalists.

MICHOACAN, SINALOA, NAYARIT, JALISCO, PUEBLA

These five Mexican states account for over 73% of clandestine labs detected which now number 645. The federal government estimates the labs has increased by 1200 per cent. The location of the labs indicate that the Sinaloa cartel, along with LFM which has morphed into the Knights Templar are the primary groups responsible.

TEPECOACUILCO, MEXICO

The remains of a couple were found inside black plastic bags in their vehicle. Both had been beheaded. They were later identified by the forensic office.

HUITZUCO, GUERRERO

At about 0430 Wednesday, unknown gunmen opened fire on the city hall in the center of the city. There were no injuries, with bullet holes the only damage.

ARCELIA, GUERRERO

A convoy of 20 police officers were ambushed, resulting in 3 of them being injured. The attacked was repelled and the injured AFI agents treated.

VERACRUZ, VERACRUZ

A running shootout between federal forces and gunmen left two bad guys dead, and 2 captured.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA*

Municipal police responding to a report of a motorcyclist hit were met with gunfire from 3 luxury vehicles. One police officer was killed and another was gravely wounded when shot in the eye. One of the vehicles was subsequently caught and 3 shooters captured.

XOCHIMILCO, GUANAJUATO

On Wednesday, Mexican Marines captured Ariel Pinedo Jiménez, known as El Cepillín, an alleged leader of the criminal organization Knights Templar. The arrest was the result of an anonymous report and intelligence work. When he was arrested, he was wearing a fanny pack containing two grenades and false identification.

MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN*

A state police officer was shot and killed on Friday by gunmen on motorcycles, and one of the shooters was killed by his fellow officers. Another of the shooters was captured.

HOUSTON, TX

An ATF informer, who confessed to ATF Agents to buying hundreds of guns for the Zetas and helped them trap another dealer, is now a fugitive from the ATF. His fellow Zetas may also be hunting him. ATF last contacted him just before raiding a Houston weapon cache where 24 military-type guns were seized. He stopped using his cell and told his mother he was going to Chicago. He confessed to buying some 250 guns over 2 years for the Zetas. Houston is considered one of the primary points for guns destined for Mexican cartels. (Personal note: The report speaks to mistake upon mistake by ATF in the handling of this ‘informant’. Enough said.)

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA*

Fabián Ramírez, a sector commander for the municipal police was assassinated enroute to his station at 0720 Sunday. He is the third municipal police officer to die this year, and was assassinated just 10 days after his predecessor, Pablo Vicente Soria Morales was killed*. His wife in the car with him was not injured. The police chief blamed Los Aztecas for the killings. The gang is active in both Cd. Juarez and El Paso.

MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN*

A San Nicolas municipal police officer, who also has worked as a bodyguard, was assassinated while his wife and 3 year old child were in the vehicle. They were uninjured.

SALTILLO, COAHUILA

A human rights organization says that there are 7 cases where entire families have disappeared, although the number could be higher. The point was made that some do not report the abductions out of fear. The method is the same: a group comes and takes them, and there is nothing further heard whatsoever. In some cases, the homes have been burned. There are a total of 23 cases where one or more members of the family are taken. On Friday, the state announced an offer of a reward for information, and said the missing cases could total 1600.

TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA

The Mexican military seized more than a ton of marijuana hidden among a load of tomatoes headed for the US via the Otay Mesa Port of Entry on the east side of Tijuana. The military also announced locating a 1/4 mile long clandestine air strip south of Ensenada.

ALDAMA, CHIHUAHUA**

Saturday night, two municipal police officers, Francisco Ramírez Velázquez and his partner,Ramon Ortega Tlaxcala, were gunned down by gunmen who used over 186 shots. Francisco had received a life saving award days ago for rescuing a woman from a fire and rushing her to a hospital in his unit.

MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN

State investigative AFI agents arrested 106 officers of the municipal police for organized crime links. It is the largest arrest so far.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA

These resulted in the arrests of 12-15. The calls are made to a number answered only by the senior police official on duty. In late November, flyers began to be handed out in certain areas. The calls average about 20 a day, but not all will prosecute. Many times, a paper is left with a phone number. The police notify the phone company who cancel the number.

CAUTION

There may be graphic photographs that accompany some articles in the body of this report. It is not our intention to sensationalize. We include these photos in order to give to you, the American public, a clearer understanding of the seriousness of the situation in Mexico and Central America.

Blog Del Narco (http://www.mundonarco.com/)

**Asterisk denotes death involving a police officer or a member of the military serving in that capacity. Some items are from notirex.com.  Killings have become so routine that it is no longer possible to report them all. Newspapers will sometimes report that there were a total of ?? homicides in a locale instead of separately reporting each death. This is complicated by the continuing threats and deaths of journalists.

EL PEÑASCO, ZACATECAS

Federal police responded to reports of kidnapped persons, and were met with gunfire. In El Peñasco, two kidnapped persons were rescued and 2 bad guys killed. This gave rise to a second shootout, which caused gunmen to use narco blockades to slow pursuing authorities. Nevertheless, there were 6 gunmen eliminated and weapons, ammunition, grenades, grenade launchers, radio equipment, vehicles and more was seized.  Below, bus used as blockade.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA

Dozens of bags of marijuana, seeds and residue were abandoned and left near cemetery hill. The finding was reported to state police. The report says this was part of a larger shipment that arrived here by a parcel service company, as all of the bags had the logo of a courier company.

SAO PAULO, BRASIL

In the category of marketing strategy is the report of a Brasilian drug trafficker giving free cocaine to addicts in exchange for them tattooing his name on their bodies. So far, about 70 in one village have done so and police report finding bodies with the same tattoo.

ZACATEPEC, MORELOS*

On Monday, 10 people were killed in the state. one of those was the police chief for the township of Zacatepec. Juan Manuel Zamudio Bustamante was caught at a gas station by men on a scooter, and shot at least four times.

MEXICO

On Monday, the state attorney general announced the arrest of Raymundo Mateo Cruz, alias “El Mata”, leader of La Familia Michoacana in the plaza of he State of México.

How US Policies Fueled Mexico’s Great Migration

Here is a (long) history of ‘corporate greed’ attached to the NAFTA agreement allegedly documenting the death of Mexican self sufficiency inciting all the Mexican migration to North Carolina. ICE raids were part of the corporate plan to defeat union organizing.
Obviously biased with thin references, but he makes the following statement of need for ‘immigration reform and control’ that may be on the mark:
In both the United States and Mexico, many migrant rights networks believe that rational immigration reform must address issues far beyond immigration law enforcement in the United States: real reform must change the US trade policies that contribute to displacing people. Gaspar Rivera-Salgado, a professor at UCLA and former head of the Binational Front of Indigenous Organizations, a group of indigenous Oaxacans living in Mexico and the United States, believes that in the United States “migrants need the right to work, but with labor rights and benefits.” In Mexico, “we need development that makes migration a choice rather than a necessity—the right to not migrate. Both rights are part of the same solution.”

Blog Del Narco (http://www.mundonarco.com/)

**Asterisk denotes death involving a police officer or a member of the military serving in that capacity. Some items are from notirex.com, a related blog.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA

Whereas in most place, news on New Year’s Day will announce the first baby born. South of the border, the report headline is that the first execution of 2012 was a man of 60 years. He was run down intentionally, and then was also shot and killed.

MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN

And continuing in the same vein, the report from Monterrey announces the first execution of 2012 is a 23 year old man found handcuffed with signs of torture. His body was dumped in the street with a narco message saying “Happy New Year 2012 Nuevo León”.

MEXICO

The criminal group “Los Zetas” is the leader in over half of the country in drug trafficking, extortion, human trafficking and theft of fuel. Four years ago, the Sinaloa cartel dominated 23 states but now is in only 16. The Zetas maintain a presence in Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Chiapas, Yucatan and Quintana Roo.

TORREON, COAHUILA*

Monday January 2, the military was conducting traffic check at 340pm, when 2 gunmen exited a vehicle stuck in traffic and opened fire. The gunfight continued along several streets, leaving a state police officer and a gunman dead, two municipal officers wounded, and the arrest of the other gunman.

SAN IGNACIO, SINALOA*

A shooting on New Years was recorded here, about 100km (62 mi) north of Mazatlan. It left 3 dead, and a man and child wounded. The municipality is on top of a mountain, about 3 hours travel from the municipal seat. The people were celebrating when gunmen opened fire. Last week, a municipal police patrol was ambushed, killing one officer and wounding the other two. The Mayor has been asking the Governor to reinforce the police.

LINARES, NUEVO LEÓN

The state Attorney General announced charges against a municipal police officer for working with a cartel as a halcon (lookout, spy).

MEXICO CITY, DISTRITO FEDERAL

The American DEA says the cartels are beginning to charge extortion from Mexican businesses in the US, both along the border and in the interior. Some do not report it due to hiring illegals. An agent, not authorized to speak, said, “The profile of these businesses is that they have been operating for at least five years in a city. The Mexicans are owners or descendants, are current on taxes, they have a captive clientele, especially among its workers, have one or more illegals, which makes them vulnerable to pressures of these cartels…”

TEPIC, NAYARIT* A female police officer was shot and killed outside her home at about 6 pm on Christmas Eve. A gray van had pulled up and gunmen inside opened fire.

Four young people were executed on Christmas Eve here. They were semi buried and discovered by scavengers.
