  • United States V. Edgar Valdez- Villareal Plea Hearing - Factual Basis If This Case Went to Trial, the Government Expects That It Would Offer the Following Evidence
    United States v. Edgar Valdez- Villareal Plea Hearing - Factual Basis If this case went to trial, the government expects that it would offer the following evidence: 1. In May 2004 (the starting date of the conspiracy offenses charged in Counts One, Two, and Nine of the Indictment), Edgar Valdez-Villarreal was engaged in a partnership with co-defendant Carlos Monten1ayor based in Mexico that obtained cocaine fron1 Colombia, exported the cocaine to customers located in the United States, and received bulk shipments of United States currency from these customers. Among other cities, this partnership sent cocaine to customers in Atlanta, in the Northern District of Georgia, during the conspiracy period charged in the Indictment. 2. The government's evidence would show that Valdez's involvement in cocaine trafficking began much earlier. As early as 2000, VALDEZ began his drug trafficking as a m~rijuana distributor in Laredo, Texas, and he soon developed cocaine customers in New Orleans and Memphis. 3. Starting in approximately 2001, VALDEZ made com1ections with cocaine distributors in Memphis, Tennessee, and Mississippi, and began sending them shipments of 20 kilograms of cocaine every 3-4 weeks. VALDEZ was known to these customers as "Juedo," or "Mike." The quantities later increased to shipn1ents of 60-80 kilos, and ultimately to 150- 180 kilos per shipment. During this period, Valdez obtained his cocaine from distributors in the Laredo/Nuevo Laredo area. However, in 1 approxin1ately 2002-2003, the Gulf Cartel in Mexico pooled forces with its rival, the Zetas, to endeavor to control the drug trade in the lucrative Laredo corridor.

  • Hoy, Cuba Frente a México En Debut Del Grupo C
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Hoy, Cuba frente a México en debut del grupo C En la cancha del Giants Stadium, en New Jersey, el equipo nacional de la Mayor de las Antillas saldrá a jugar su mejor partido Publicado: Viernes 08 junio 2007 | 12:00:00 am. Publicado por: José Luis López Los cubanos tendrán que apelar a su físico contra México. Foto: Armando Hernández ¿Goleada mexicana, empate o histórico triunfo de Cuba? Entre estas interrogantes nos debatimos especialistas y aficionados, ante el debut hoy del grupo C en la IX Copa de Oro de Fútbol. En la cancha del Giants Stadium, en New Jersey, Cuba enfrenta esta noche al potente cuadro de México, que por tradición y resultados en estos certámenes —líder con cuatro títulos—, deviene favorito para recuperar el cetro perdido en la pasada edición, con una nómina casi similar a la que tanto gustó en la Copa del Mundo Alemania 2006. Los cubanos darán la cara, prestos a meter goles en la cabaña rival, para cambiar la mala imagen dejada en anteriores ediciones, en las que apenas han conseguido un triunfo, frente a un empate y ocho derrotas. Previo a la partida, el DT avileño Raúl González Triana nos comentó que «contra México, nuestra aspiración es jugar con buen ánimo y hacer las cosas correctamente: en la primera mitad, tratar de conservar la tranquilidad, pues en la segunda pesará la parte física y ahí podremos aprovechar». Mientras, el portero de la selección mexicana, Oswaldo Sánchez, tres veces mundialista, dijo a la prensa de su país: «Hemos visto videos de Cuba en los cuales pudimos apreciar que es un equipo fuerte por sus cualidades físicas, además de muy rápido, pero tiene carencias técnicas y tácticas».

  • NARCOTICS: CIA-Pentagon Death Squads and Mexico’S ‘War on Drugs”
    NARCOTICS: CIA-Pentagon Death Squads and Mexico’s ‘War on Drugs” Mexico Arrests Three Army Generals By Tom Burghardt Region: Latin America & Caribbean Global Research, May 28, 2012 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights Antifascist Calling... 28 May 2012 Earlier this month, the Mexican government arrested three high-ranking Army generals “including a former second in command at the Defense Ministry,”The New York Times reported. According to multiple press reports, Tomás Ángeles Dauahare, who retired in 2008, was an under secretary at the Defense Ministry during the first two years of President Felipe Calderón’s “war” against some narcotrafficking cartels and had even been mentioned as a “possible choice for the top job.” The Times disclosed that in the early 1990s Ángeles “served as the defense attaché at the Mexican Embassy in Washington,” a plum position with plenty of perks awarded to someone thought by his Pentagon brethren to have impeccable credentials; that is, if smoothing the way the for drugs to flow can be viewed as a bright spot on one’s résumé. The other top military men detained in Mexico City were “Brig. Gen. Roberto Dawe González, assigned to a base in Colima State, and Gen. Ricardo Escorcia Vargas, who is retired.” Reuters reported that “Dawe headed an army division in the Pacific state of Colima, which lies on a key smuggling route for drugs heading to the United States, and had also served in the violent border state of Chihuahua.” When queried at a May 18 press conference in Washington, “whether and to what extent” these officers participated in the $1.6 billion taxpayer-financed boondoggle known as the Mérida Initiative or had received American training, Pentagon spokesperson Lt.

    EXPERT REPORT OF DR. EVERARD MEADE July 12, 2016 1. Counsel for has asked me to offer expert testimony to assist the Court in evaluating his claim for asylum. I respectfully submit this report, and any corresponding testimony at the hearing, in order to: (1) provide background regarding the events in question and the areas of Mexico in which they occurred; (2) explain the country conditions in Mexico, both in the present and in the period extending back to 2006; (3) offer my opinion on the consistency of the declaration of Mr. with the conditions in Mexico at the relevant times and in the relevant places; and (4) discuss the likelihood that Mr. would be harmed if returned to Mexico. 2. As the Director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego, I monitor the conditions in Mexico on a continual basis. As a historian of Mexico and Central America focused on the relationships between violence, memory, and the law, I have tracked patterns of violence and their relationship to the criminal justice system since at least 1998. See attached (curriculum vitae). I have testified before Immigration Courts across the country in conjunction with removal proceedings and asylum applications. 3. Before preparing this report, I reviewed and consulted a number of academic, journalistic, and government sources (from Mexico and the United States), many of which are cited herein. As discussed herein, I conducted certain independent research using resources that I customarily consult when researching country conditions in Mexico and the impact of the latest developments in drug trafficking, organized crime, and law enforcement operations on basic human rights conditions, in particular.
