THE BORDER REPORT
The U.S. Border Patrol went to high alert last night after receiving undisclosed threats along the Arizona border during the Mexican Independence Day celebrations, sources say.
Myself, I can’t fathom what they’d consider a “threat” given the context of the border these days. Last week, there was a rumor that someone had taken out a deuce and a half with an RPG round in Matamoros. I also don’t know that the threat isn’t merely a speculative threat after last year’s grenade attacks in Morelia that murdered eight people.
The threat alert seems site-specific to Arizona and Sonora, however. One of the countenance for the threat is the arrest today of Ignacio Paéz, the longtime narco-kingpin who controlled Caborca and the Pinacate Desert for the past few years. His arrest doesn’t surprise me much, given the takeover in Caborca two months ago where eleven people were murdered.
I’ve seen nothing about Paez’s arrest in the Mexican press; could be they’re trying to keep it quiet (sorry about that, I have a hard time keeping quiet).
Meanwhile, an old ghost resurfaces, if only briefly. Ramon Ontamucha, a former police commander from Agua Prieta turned state cop, was kidnapped with another officer down near Navojoa in the town of Rosario de Tesopaco. Ontamucha was an appointee of Ramon Tacho Verdugo, the Agua Prieta police chief murdered more than two years ago in that border city.
I suppose, if anything (else) goes down, we’ll be hearing about it shortly.
Check out this article on it.

Hm, Campos Rubio is an outstanding crime reporter but he loves those unconfirmed chismes even more than I do. Wait for it. If he’s indeed dead, it’ll be confirmed today and frankly, it won’t matter much to him when we find out.
[Reply]
No presumptions Michel, Its been confirmed through varios sources!
[Reply]

[Reply]
Ended up not being true.

hey michael, it looks like the newspapers from chihuahua love chismes, AGORA has an article saying that there are rumors that Paty Gonzales is dead…AGORA–Un fuerte rumor fue desencadenado la mañana y medio día de este viernes en torno a la supuesta muerte de la Procuradora de Justicia del Estado, Patricia González Rodríguez.
Hasta el momento, las autoridades no han confirmado ni descartado el hecho pero entre las corporaciones locales ha corrido el rumor de que la fiscal estatal pereció.
Por su parte, el secretario General de Gobierno Sergio Granados Pineda informó no tener de momento información alguna de este rumor, sin embargo, dijo que lo checaría y estaría pendiente al respecto. ..(here is the denial)..AGORA—Un fuerte rumor corrió este mediodía sobre un atentado que sufrió la Procuradora de Justicia, Patricia González, quien habría sido atacada por un comando de crimen organizado. Sin embargo, el hecho fue desmentido por el gobierno del estado.
Un funcionario de primer nivel del gobierno del estado desmintió el rumor y dijo que la Procuradora de Justicia se hallaba trabajando en su despacho tranquilamente.
Atribuyó el rumor a una versión oral sin fundamento y añadió que Rodríguez González no ha sufrido atentado alguno.
La Procuraduría de Justicia no emitió comentario alguno.

por si o por no…PHOENIX, Arizona(AGENCIAS)
La policía de Estados Unidos arrestó a 70 personas en Phoenix e incautó armas, efectivo y artículos usados para secuestros en una operación encubierta dirigida contra los criminales violentos relacionados con el narcotráfico mexicano, dijeron el martes autoridades.
En meses recientes, Phoenix se ha hecho famosa como la “capital de los secuestros” en Estados Unidos, con un promedio de un rapto al día relacionado con pandillas criminales violentas del lucrativo negocio del narcotráfico transfronterizo desde México.
La operación encubierta de cuatro meses, realizada por agentes de la Oficina de Alcohol, Tabaco, Armas de Fuego y Explosivos y la policía de Phoenix, también incautó 39 mil dólares en efectivo, junto a chalecos antibalas, ataduras plásticas, cinta adhesiva, guantes y máscaras de esquí, dijo la oficina del fiscal estadounidense.
“Aquellos individuos que sienten que pueden cometer crímenes violentos, como invasiones a hogares y secuestros, deben entender que los perseguiremos y los llevaremos ante la justicia”, dijo el director de seguridad pública de Phoenix, Jack F. Harris, en un comunicado de prensa.
“El unir fuerzas con estas agencias federales nos permite ampliar nuestro alcance y arrestar a estos criminales donde alguna vez pensaron que eran intocables”, agregó.
La policía dice que los secuestradores frecuentemente son criminales mexicanos, que en algunas oportunidades son ayudados por pandillas locales de Phoenix. Identificó a blancos específicos entre los narcotraficantes y “coyotes”, como se conoce a los traficantes de personas, en la comunidad criminal.
Anteriormente este año, el presidente Barack Obama prometió apoyo al presidente mexicano, Felipe Calderón, en su lucha contra los cárteles de narcotraficantes que han matado a más de 13 mil personas en México desde el 2006, en medio de una lucha por el control de las lucrativas rutas de ingreso al mercado estadounidense.
El Gobierno de Obama también ha buscado detener la llamada propagación de la violencia desde México, que incluye delitos como secuestros e invasiones a hogares, así como a los traficantes de armas y dinero hacia el Sur de la frontera.

hey i was talking to family and friends in chihuahua, and from all acccounts ek chapo is having a tough time taking over the state.the resistence is fierce, anybody want to elaborate on this.
[Reply]
Chapo wants to have people in all border towns.. TJ, Mexicali, Nogales, Cd.Juarez… trying to do all at once.. of course he’s going have some trouble. I saw Artistas Asesinos were captured in Chih.. they were working with el chapo, responsible for the killings in the rehab centers..anyone heard of the narco-manta put up today or yesterday?
[Reply]
they said La LInea had 24 hrs to get out of town if not chihuahuasos were going to be going everywhere
[Reply]
El Pueblo newspaper said that la Linea left a message in Guadalupe D.B threatning to kill children if they don’t set el Rikin Escajeda free…those artistas asesinos were the ones who tried to smoke El Moniko using a 50 caliber rifle, but instead, they only wounded Moniko and killed a man and his 9 year old daughter in the prosses.
[Reply]
i doubt La Linea put up that banner, that nonsense would cause alot of out cry from the public
[Reply]
Negro Sabori shot and arrested along with Dos Mil near Hermosillo.
[Reply]
That I really doubt….hahaha!!!!
[Reply]
you’re right drift, even the most bloodthirsty sicario has a pinch of common sence, that banner was probably left by Gente Nueva, it would not be the first time they do that kind of trick.
[Reply]
the sandias captured five more sicarios from “Gente Nueva” in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, it happened today at 02:00.
[Reply]
The whole thing in Juarez has got to be the most pathetic show in the entire world of criminal organizations. I would hang my head so low if I was either one of those groups as they have disgraced anything remotely “organized” about crime.
WHO GIVES A fook???? NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
In total agreement with you Hockney.
