THE BORDER REPORT
The U.S. State Department has ordered its consulate employees along the border, specifically, Tijuana, Nogales, Juárez, Reynosa, Nuevo Laredo, and Matamoros to send their families out of Mexico for a month following the murders of three people, a consulate employee and her husband and the husband of a second employee this weekend in Juárez.
Leslie (or Lesley) Enriquez and her husband, Arthur H. Redelfs, were shot in a drive-by coming into Juárez. Ten minutes earlier, the body of the husband of a second consular employee, Jorge Alberto Salcido, was found by Chihuahua police.
Couple of thoughts on the matter. Sources within Homeland Security and the Mexican CIA (CISEN) are putting the responsibility for the killings on Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. They say the killings were propagated by the Sinaloa Federation in Juárez.
Reforma has a story where the Feds are saying it was La Linea so clearly nobody knows or, rather, nobody’s saying.
The gunmen used nine-millimeters to conduct the killings; these people were clearly targeted. But why.
I wonder about the drug trial that just ended in El Paso; Fernando Ontiveros-Arambula was sentenced late last week. His case was instrumental in the charges against the Sinaloa Federation. Lots to wonder about here.
Lots.
this smells like Patty “Fashion”,. http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/665963.html

Drive by shooting? That’s so 1991 Boyz n tha Hood, do me a favor quit calling them “organizations” or “cartels” or “mafias” or “federations”. Pick a new name like West Side Boyz or something.

Just when we and a large group from Scottsdale were thinking about a return visit to beautiful Rocky Point, this latest border tragedy is more than enough to make us change our plans. I feel sorry for the Americans who bought timeshares and purchased homes and condos there, and in other beautiful Mexican resorts.
When will it ever again be safe enough to travel there? My guess is that it may be never, or at least not for decades. The U.S. might just as well legalize drugs, because the addicts will always find a way to get them.

@ talegon
No way. Mexico would go off if U.S. military forces landed on their soil. Mexican politicians would never agree to it. No mater who got murdered in Mexico, politics would not allow a U.S. display of force like that.
[Reply]
@Rabbit
sure politicians wouldnt allow it shit they are too much dam money out of the drug business but I think the U.S would use it as an excuse to enter mexican soil…you know like they would say that mexican drug cartels is a threat to american citizens in the border just like they said sadam hussein was a threat to the world….or the way they did it in afganistan just go look for osama bin laden they would say we are gonna go look for chapo guzman or something like that
[Reply]
Zelda, Rocky Point remains the same peaceful and beautiful place. In fact, this week there are many people here from Scottsdale. I worry every time I go to the States because of the randomness of the crime you live with there. Gym shootings, church shootings, mall shootings, school shootings, workplace shootings, etc. happen equally in small towns and large cities across America. In Mexico crime is less random, happening most often to bad people in bad places doing bad things. That at least gives me a measure of control over what might happen to me.
Several Scottsdale police officers spend their time off in Rocky Point. One, a homicide lieutenant in Scottsdale has told me that he and his family are safer here than in your beautiful city…even though he carries a weapon there and doesn’t here. One of the owners of a popular RP hangout is a recently retired Scottsdale officer and they have a huge group coming down for Cinco de Mayo.
Something in your post rings a little false. If you know and like Rocky Point, then you know how safe we are, and you know how removed we are, literally, from anything happening in Cd. Juarez. Perhaps your “large group” doesn’t really exist, but you figured it would give your post more relevance given the incident in Juarez?

Rocky Point is headed for doomsday. The blood will flow like a river, the gunpowder will blackout the sun, order will cease to exisit. Beware…
[Reply]
Isn’t it standard US practice with countries it has invaded to first inundate the country with weapons, wait for the violence to escalate to the point where it is “in the best interest of our National Security,” then move troops in. Maybe the US wants a military base on Yucatan…
[Reply]
Vino,
I wouldn’t put it past the US government to do such a thing. However, I’m not sure if the base in the Yucatan is the primary objective. I could be wrong, but this serves as more of a reason for the FBI or even the CIA to function in Mexico; which allows them to partake in the drug trade and clandestinely get funds. I’m not really one for conspiracy theories, but after the CIA’s involvement with the Contras, I can’t put anything past US fed. involvement.
Furthermore, this drug war really does highlight the never changing US diplomatic attitude towards Mexico. It’s just so reminiscent of the American attitude towards Mexico during the days of Pancho Villa. I wonder if it will ever change …
[Reply]
Fellas, I know it seems like that would be something the U.S. should do, but you have to really think about this. No country the U.S. has invaded borders itself. There is too much potential for a lot of senerios. One, they don’t want Mexican trafficers aiding foreign terorists. Two, do they want what’s happening in Mexico spilling into the U.S? Our Government has no choice but to handle it diplomatically. They will eventually hang some s.o.b. out to dry for something. I mean this is something I don’t believe you will ever see.
[Reply]
a military base in Yucatan? it reminds me of the Mayan Express airlines.
[Reply]
@ Michel,
I think you and I had a conversation about this when ABL was killed because of the rumors that U.S. commandos were involved in the raid. Please explain the politics of this possibility. You can explain it way better than me.
[Reply]
Rabbit the US did invade Mexico once and they did also sent troops down their to go hunt Villa. Although I wouldn’t really count the Punitive Expedition to hunt down Villa because they did get permission from the Mexican government for that one.
[Reply]
@Rabbit
when has the U.S handle things diplomatically?
mexicans aiding terrorists?…i dont see this happening…drug cartels only want one thing..MONEY…they do not think they are on a holy war and they donot kill in the name of god…thats another thing the U.S is focusing way too much in the mexican border….what about the canadian border?the terrorists from 911 entered from the canadian border
I donot think this will spill to the american side…as soon something happens they are gonna put all kinds of military all trough the border
at least thats what i think
[Reply]
While I don’t think it wise or wish it to happen, yes rabbit, the US has invaded bordering countries. Have you forgotten the war of 47? Las 6 aguilas del Parque Chapultepec? They never taught me about it in US schools, I had to live in study for a time in Mexico to first hear of it.
Now some would say that it is past history, when the US was more imperialistic and full of manifest destiny. I say the old leopard never changed her spots but now wears a heavier veil.
I can see an invasion of Mexico if for nothing more than CIA interests alone.
[Reply]
I know there are many places in Phoenix and even some areas of Scottsdale where people are robbed and even murders occur. That is life in most major cities in the U.S. and worldwide. The front page of the Arizona Republic on Sat. March 13 had a large article about Rocky Point remaining a peaceful place to visit although drug wars have scarred Sonora. It also says there is a 50% drop in tourists but not one American has been murdered in Rocky Point in at least 5 years. However, when American Consulate employees are killed by drug cartels in Mexican border towns , it can squelch our desire to visit even the most desirable
places even though they have yet to be involved in the violence occurring elsewhere.
[Reply]
@ Move,
You are right, but that was a long time ago and things with Mexico have evolved considerably since Poncho Villa.
@ Talegon,
I’m the first one to agree with anyone that the U.S. is dirtier than shit, but we are talking about diplomatic relations with Mexico. Has our government done anything when when the Mexican military has made incursions into the states? Hell no, because of Mexico’s geogarphy. Don’t get me wrong, though, I am not disagreeing with you, I’m just saying that there is too much politics involved.
[Reply]
@ Zelda,
Come on now, you guys are going too far back in history to be comparing to todays politics, not to mention recent case law involving domestic affairs. I think that it is unrealistic to believe that military option will ever happen with Mexico.
[Reply]
@ K,
Sorry, the last comment was for you, not Zelda.
@ Zelda,
What you are seeing in Phoenix and Scottsdale is directly related to our economy. Everytime the economy gets bad, crime gets higher and higher. What’s happening in Mexico is so much more than that. believe me, you don’t want what’s happening there spilling into our strreets. Two of my very good friends are dead. One beheaded, and one took from his home in front of his family and taken and tied to a cactus and shot to death. You don’t want that,

Never underestimate the cravenness of the CIA.

[Reply]
Ok now for my thoughts on a US invasion. First and foremost I don’t think that the US is going to militarily invade Mexico anytime soon. Tanks rolling down cities and missiles raining down on the Sierra Madre of Mexico wont happen. Remember the people killed were Americans that worked in the US consulate in Mexican soil. For me it seems like it could be easy to down play something like that, you could say it was mistaken identity and blame some low level guys for being incompetent. It’s not the same thing as knocking down two gigantic buildings and crashing another plane into the Pentagon. Invading Mexico for some dead employees wont happen. Now I do believe that the US will push for more agents in Mexico and having those agents being able to do more.
The relationship between the US and Mexico if typically a good one. The people in power in both countries get along real good. Invading Mexico would accomplish nothing for the US. IS the current regime in place in Mexico hostile to the US? No. Are there groups in Mexico planning attacks on American civilians? No. Are there big American corporations that have invested money in Mexico? Yes. Does the US have trade agreements with Mexico that were pushed heavily by both countries? Yes. Were George Bush senior and Carlos Salinas golf buddies? Honestly I don’t know but did anyone else hear that rumor?
I’m sure the people in power in the US are happy with Mexico just the way it is, but I’m sure they would like to have more influence in Mexico than they already do. One way of doing that is to hype up these Consulate murders and demand more American agents and Mexico would probably give into it and get more money out of it as well. What I see is an invasion of the alphabet soup, FBI, DEA, and ICE.
[Reply]
The US will never invade Mexico, it’s not that big a deal to us. Plus what ever we want from them we can take for very little money.
Zelda, Rocky Point will become the new Culiacan. Sell your property now before you are buried there, leave damnit, RUN!!!!!!
[Reply]
Whatever suits our government, that’s what they do.
@ Move,
I agree, for once.
@ K,
The CIA uses everyone, til they are done with them. Are they running around in Mexico, planning with the locals? I believe so, But I am not saying rule of law has anything to do with it. I truly 100% believe a U.S. military presents in Mexico is a long way off, if ever. That’s all.
@ Zelda,
Heisenberg is right, sell and get the hell out. real peace is still a ways off down there. Too easy to get clipped, being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You will be one of those statistics that Michel was just refering to.
[Reply]
You can tell which way our government wants to go by what direction they lead the media. When they keep things long distance such as Obama saying “shame on those criminals,” nothing is in the works. If he were to lay out clear expectations that he has for Mexico to clean this up, that would show intent. There is minimal reporting about the violence in Mexico, frankly because our government does not want to focus any energy other than dollars to do anthing about it. They like it the way it is. The DEA announced that they thought El Chapo would be captured in 3 months what, about 40 days ago? There was intent with knowledge in that announcement. There is nothing other than”those bad cartels” with this one.
Not to overplay this incident but I do believe the Mexican Cartels caused a media blocked while they go through an excelerated efford to get rid of the Zetas. There is big hot spots all over Mexico but little news about it. The Gulf, Sinaloa, and La Familia joining to form an alliance to rid Mexico of the Zetas. This could be huge for moving in the direction of peace. It is going on right now. They were so bold as to ask Calderon to remove the military so that they could finish this quickly. I think they will too. Whenever there is cooperation amoung the big guns like this, negotiation has a chance.
My real question is, will the next President of Mexico make it an Amsterdam by legalizing drugs? My belief is yes and I see this as the only true solution.

La Linea, Los Zetas and ABL will be taken out i garantee it. The US government will get involved in juarez you cant just assasinate diplomats. La linea has been linked the the assasination in juarez. Also los zetas brazen extorting legitimate businesses and kidnapping innocent people and puiblic displays of violence will cause a public outcry. THe mexicans i think really dont care about drug trafficking but violence at home is a different story. Sinaloa will win and it will be back to trafficking
[Reply]
will the u.s. sent the u.s. military to mexico? that is the question everybody seems to be arguing for or against. I would have to believe, it would be political suicide for the any U.S. president to do that. Can it happen? How the current situation is I don’t see it happening. People got to understand as long as violence is staying on the side of the Mexican border, and the government is still intact, theres no reason to send U.S. troops. Just imagine the backlash that would happen to the U.S. president, once U.S. soldiers start dying on foreign soil. Moreover, i truly believe the U.S. military wouldn’t have any effect on stoping the violence in Mexico, just as the Mexican military has done little. Why? How does a conventional army, fight a band of unmarked “enemies’ that are within the population, who are not wearing uniforms, who will fight a gurrilla style war. You believe people would look at history (vietnam, afghanistan) and learn from past mistakes. You can’t destroy the Mexican cartels with military might. What the U.S. and Mexican government need to due its keep on gather intelligence, and prosecuting top Kingpins and attacking their source of revenue. Moreover, there is no solution without a comprehinsive solution to the demand of drugs within the U.S. In conclusion, one thing is for certain, drugs have not stopped with Calderon’s all out WAR on the drug cartels. I believe, everybody from all sides which it could be how it was 10 years ago, where drugs got through, some people got high, some people got rich, some people got busted and some people died.

well i’ve got friends in the us military who have told me that as a training scenario they have used the drugpin dilemma …where they are tasked to apphend or kill a druglord and combat his private army in a latin american country….also remember the us military was used to catch pablo escobar…si no agarran al chapo es porke no kieren..
[Reply]
@ JrMafia,
The U.S, Government already is involved in the conflicts in Juarez. But that’s different than a U.S military presence. You will not see U.S. comandos in Mexico any time soon. You might see the U.S. training people down there, but that’s it. At the same time the U.S. trained the original Zetas. So look where that got anyone. As far as ABL’s crew goes, they are fighting a losing battle. Zetas are marked. La Linea has dug their own graves. The next few years should be intersting.
Also, think about something, if you wanted to dismantle the power structure in Juarez, if someone thought it would bring the U.S. military in, someone could start killing diplomats to get rid of the competition. Is that too far fetched?
The Mexican military has made incursions into the U.S. on several documented occasions. The U.S. has little to nothing about it. The FBI has been involoved in several investigations in Mexico, with thei so called Mexican counterparts. The only problemis their Mexican counterparts are corrupt and responsible for a lot of the insanity in Mexico.
One of the Arellono Felix boys was hunting Chapo Guzman several years and was killed. At the time, he was carrying law enforcement identification. Dos mil weares an AFI uniform. The people that were responsible for murdering the family of the soldier that was killed during the ABL shootout, were identified as cops. That is called corruption, which is a way of life in Mexico. If you saw how many cops, border patrol, military personal I personally have payed of in my life, you would know just like I know that it’s business as usual in Mexico.
I will say that any Mexican president that agrees to a U.S. military presemce in Mexico would be commiting political suicide. Would the U.S. invade next door? Never!! Sorry.

i heard the FBI is in ciudad juarez investigating and it made me think….what if it was the other way around?what if a mexican employee of the consulate in the U.S was murder and mexican authorities wanted to investigate?would U.S authorities let them cross the border and investigate?
[Reply]
is will show you how much the U.S. plans on invading Mexico, the excuses are already starting.
ThCIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Confused hit men may have gone to the wrong party, the FBI said Tuesday as it cast doubt on fears that the slaying of three people with ties to the U.S. consulate shows that Mexican drug cartels have launched an offensive against U.S. government employees.
Gunmen chased two white SUVs from the birthday party of a consulate employee’s child on Saturday and opened fire as horrified relatives screamed. The two near-simultaneous attacks left three adults dead and at least two children wounded.
The attack drives home just how dangerous Ciudad Juarez has become — and just how vulnerable those who live and work there can be, despite the Mexican government’s claims that most victims are drug smugglers.
According to one of several lines of investigation, the assailants — believed to be aligned with the Juarez drug cartel — may have been ordered to attack a white SUV leaving a party and mistakenly went to the “Barquito de Papel,” which puts on children’s parties and whose name means “Paper Boat.”
“We don’t have any information that these folks were directly targeted because of their employment by the U.S. government or their U.S. citizenship,” FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons told The Associated Press by phone from El Paso, just across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez.
The FBI is still investigating the backgrounds of the victims.
Experts cast doubt on the idea that drug cartels would be interested in turning their guns on U.S. government employees.
“A systematic, nationwide shift to the use of such tactics would work against drug traffickers’ interests,” said Allyson Benton, an analyst with the Eurasia Group. “It would dramatically raise the level of both Mexican and U.S. governmental involvement in the fight against organized crime.”
The wife of one of the victims, a 13-year employee of the consulate named Hilda, described to a friend how she watched in horror as hit men pumped bullets into her SUV with her husband and children inside. She had been trailing her family in a second car when the attack occurred.
She leapt screaming from her car, begging the men to stop and telling them her children — ages 2, 4 and 7 — were inside, the friend said. But they continued until her husband, Jorge Alberto Salcido, was covered in blood, slumped dead behind the steering wheel.
All three children in the car were treated for injuries and released — the older children grazed by bullets and the youngest hit by shards of glass, the friend said. His account differed from authorities who said two children were in the car.
The friend asked not to be named, for fear of his own safety. Mexican authorities declined to comment on the discrepancy.
The other attack killed Arthur H. Redelfs, 34, and his wife, Lesley A. Enriquez, 35, a consulate employee who was four months pregnant. They too had just left the party at the lemon-yellow business, decorated with drawings of children’s blocks in a neighborhood of two-story homes with manicured lawns.
Their 7-month-old daughter watched the slayings from the back seat, where she was strapped into a car seat. Police found her wailing, her parents dead from gunshots.
President Felipe Calderon, Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinosa and U.S. Ambassador Carlos Pascual flew together to Ciudad Juarez to express their outrage on Tuesday. Calderon, whose trip had been planned prior to the attacks, announced an expansion of the country’s welfare program.
“Both countries must keep collaborating to defeat these organizations, stop cross-border trafficking of drug, guns and illegal money, and protect young people and children who are the targets of these criminals,” Calderon said.
More than 100 people protested Calderon’s visit, demanding the government do more about the bloodshed. Police shoved and hit protesters to prevent them from approaching a hotel and a gymnasium where Calderon held events.
The consulate was closed Tuesday to mourn for the dead, but the officials were expected to meet with employees there.
Amid the tension, a bomb threat forced the evacuation of about 3,000 people at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez. No bomb was found.
Already, the city is one of the world’s deadliest places. More than 2,600 people were killed last year, and another 500 so far this year — all in a city of 1.3 million.
The attacks on Saturday were the second time this year that gunmen shocked Mexico by opening fire on a Ciudad Juarez party. In February, gunmen killed 15 youths in what relatives said was a case of mistaken identity. State officials, who have made several arrests in the attack, maintain someone at the party was targeted but have not said who.
People who knew Saturday’s victims said they had nothing to do with drugs or crime.
Salcido was production manager at a Ciudad Juarez assembly plant of the Dallas-based information technology and outsourcing company, Affiliated Computer Services Inc.
The family friend said he had changed his home, work and mobile phone numbers recently after receiving calls from someone trying to extort money from him. Even so, Salcido, who led a local church choir, brushed off the threats, which are common in the crime-plagued city.
Enriquez was the sole consular employee killed in the attack. No stranger to Mexico’s violence, her work entailed helping U.S. citizens recover the remains of loved ones who had died in Mexico. Her husband worked as a jail guard in El Paso.
Members of both families declined to speak with reporters on Tuesday. Zonia Rivas, a nurse practitioner who lives across the street from Enriquez and Redelfs, said the couple would take walks around the neighborhood with their baby. Redelfs would clean his wife’s car every Saturday afternoon, a detail Rivas admired.
Rivas said she spoke to Enriquez just before she returned to work from maternity leave, and expressed concern that Enriquez was taking a risk by returning to the violent city.
“I just said, ‘Is there any way you can quit?’ and she said no,” Rivas said.

Until several years ago, the only police in Juarez were the state and local police. There was no federal involvement. The state and local polititions ran the show too. This is where the most powerful cartel in Mexico grew and thrived for years (The Juarez Cartel). There are many of those key people still around and they are not willing to bury that power. Mexican law was written for state independence, not for federal intervention and take over. That is why it is so difficult for El Chapo to take that city. There is far to much criminal eliment there to wipe them out. They have an entire city to recruit from and brother, the Barrio Aztecas are a very formitible Alli. I do not think they will ever get rid of that cartel, they have a purpose (home turf) and will always have state and local backing. The state police and local police no far more about the happenings in that city and the La linea is flat out nasty. And when the feds pull out, and they will, it will be the same ole crew, the Juarez Cartel. The Zetas were a flasn in the pan compared the them. It seems to me that El Chapo is feeling this considering his last threat to the Juarez Mayor. That alone makes me inclined to consider the cospiracy theory that Sinaloa did the hit to cast a black shadow on the Juarez Cartel. I really think that the Juarez cartel doesn’t care about romors and blame right now but they do care about defending that turf to the death and they will in a very nasty manner.
[Reply]
One more thing, the bad blood between these cartels is between El chapo and Vicente because they both had the others brother killed. None of the other big players really have a dog in the fight, however there is more ports of entry opening up for the Sinaloens. I suspect El Chapo will be captured long before Viceroy, and if that occurs, it is over. And if El Chapo had any since, he would devote his energy toward Arizona and the lower Rio Grande. When the dust settles with the Zeta factor, he might abandon this never ending nightmare anyway. It seems to me most the violence in Juarez is about street turf/street gangs and local drug sales territory. For the most part, hitting key cartel figures and key politicians is not what we are seeing. Many of them are probably sitting in their homes in El Paso reading the same things we are. I do not see the Juarez Cartel going anywhere.

¿Quién mató a los del consulado?
by Calos Loret
En vida, José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos consideraba a Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán como “uno de los hombres más inteligentes que conozco”. El zar antidrogas mexicano —dejó de serlo meses antes de fallecer en el avión en que viajaba el entonces secretario de Gobernación, Juan Camilo Mouriño— relataba que tras fugarse del penal de “máxima seguridad” de Puente Grande, en Jalisco, buscó refugio con el que era hombre de todas sus confianzas: Ismael El Mayo Zambada, quien le financió el escondite.
La hipótesis es que El Chapo, cuando el presidente Calderón declaró la guerra contra el crimen organizado en diciembre de 2006, se replegó y no buscó enfrentar al Estado más que el mínimo indispensable: mitigó la persecución en su contra y moderó sus pérdidas en comparación con otras bandas criminales. El cártel del Golfo, y marcadamente Los Zetas y La Familia Michoacana han desafiado desde entonces al Ejército y en general al Poder Ejecutivo federal, que se centran en perseguirlos y combatirlos.
Al dejar Santiago Vasconcelos las tareas de persecución al narco, Genaro García Luna, secretario de Seguridad Pública, se convirtió en el mariscal de esta lucha, por encima del secretario de la Defensa y el procurador general de la República.
Hoy, las primeras indagatorias de su equipo sospechan que no fue el cártel de Juárez (La Línea) el responsable de la ejecución de las tres personas vinculadas al consulado de EU en esa ciudad fronteriza, como lo sostiene la Procuraduría de Chihuahua. Los de García Luna se preguntan: ¿qué ganaría con “calentar más su plaza” involucrando al gobierno de Barack Obama? Si el objetivo era empañar el discurso triunfalista del presidente Calderón, no hacía falta meterse con Estados Unidos. Esa no sería una estrategia lógica, pues la reprimenda en su contra podría ser mucho más contundente, sumado ahora otro enemigo de nada despreciable poder. En cambio, consideran que un cártel externo, con el objetivo de desviar la atención de sí mismo y crearle problemas en su territorio a un rival, estaría mucho más incentivado a realizar una funesta acción de esta naturaleza. Asesinar a tres personas con un fin político se llama, simplemente, terrorismo.
Lo más seguro es que el asunto no pase más que de las sospechas iniciales, las primeras “líneas de investigación”, el cruce de sospechas… y otro atroz crimen se encargará de mandar a éste al olvido.
