The State of Texas Defines 'Spillover Violence' As Mexican “The state of Texas defines „spillover violence‟ as Mexican Cartel-related violence that occurs in Texas, including aggravated assault, extortion, kidnapping, torture, rape and murder. The victims of these crimes include illegal immigrants being smuggled into the United States, Mexican or U.S. citizens working with the Cartels or their innocent family members, and those who are not associated in any way with the Cartels or transnational gangs.” –Director Steve McCraw, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Mexico Spillover: From 2005 – 2011 2011 February 2011 On Saturday, 02-05-11 at approximately 16:00, three teenagers were shot to death at the Super Autos Porvenir car lot in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Two of the victims, Juan Carlos Echeverri-Luna and Carlos Mario Gonzalez-Bermudez were U.S. citizens attending private schools in El Paso, Texas. The third victim, Cesar Yalin MIRAMONTES-Jimenez was a Mexican National and a student at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Ciudad Juarez, Mx. (EPIC, Texas Rangers, Associated Press http://www.valleynewslive.com/Global/story.asp?S=13990800 ) On 02/06/11, information received from a Houston CHS who has proven to be very reliable in the past provided the following information: "Gulf Cartel in Nuevo Laredo is planning on having a female or maybe a male walk across Laredo International Bridge 1 POE and drop a live hand grenade toward the US Border Patrol underneath Bridge I. The purpose of the grenade attack is to create an incident where to place blame on the Zetas." (FBI) Received on 02-11-11 that FBI Houston re-contacted FBI-Laredo for dissemination that a highly placed Sub-Source of CHS who is a Ministerial Police with direct contact with HERIBERTO LAZCANO-LAZCANO unwittingly provided information as to a planned grenade attack at the Laredo POE Bridge I IN NUEVO LAREDO. Prior reporting indicated it was the U.S. side. This has resulted from a rift between the LAZCA and MIGUEL TREVINO where Zetas have been asked to take sides. LAZCA is sponsoring the grenade attack in efforts to motivate forces to “eliminate” Miguel Trevino’s men. As of 02/10/2011 the CHS reiterated the attack is supposed to be realized WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.

The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

  • Environmental Pressures and Population Concentration
    AMBIVALENCES AND ASYMMETRIES IN THE URBANIZATION PROCESS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO: ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES AND POPULATION CONCENTRATION Cuauhtémoc León and Hipólito Rodríguez FRAMEWORK: A DEFINITION OF THIS SPACE Three different countries surround this great marine water body; human activities both inland and in coastal zones and marine areas have modified, and will continue to modify this space’s biochemical, ecosystemic and, of course, socio-economic conditions. Such activities can be formally identified as the Gulf of Mexico’s economic and social space. From a historical perspective, they have had certain common traits and have perhaps been evolving at different intensities, but at least in a parallel fashion. The pace of changes has left marks shaping the landscape that can be “read,” yet unfortunately, in most instances these comprise an expansion and sequence of deleterious transformations. The boundaries of the Gulf of Mexico and, therefore, of what is considered to be its coastal zone, were defined a priori. Actually, they are of an operational nature so as to be able to deal simultaneously with three dimensions: the terrestrial landscape analyzed as ecoregions; socio-demographic dynamics studied on the basis of municipalities (or counties); and urban cores or cities, which enable us to easily visualize population concentration. Thus, the coastal zone was delimited as a mostly terrestrial strip having municipal boundaries (and therefore jurisdictional ones) and landscape features. As a result, this is not necessarily a region in the economic or geographic sense but rather, most likely, it is composed of asymmetrical, disconnected, and perhaps complementary territorial and political units which at most depend upon one another to a certain degree.

  • La Linea and Los Linces Author: Matthew Pacilla Review: Phil Williams
    Organization Attributes Sheet: La Linea and Los Linces Author: Matthew Pacilla Review: Phil Williams A. When the organization was formed + brief history La Linea is the armed wing of the Juarez Cartel that serves an enforcer role, murdering and kidnapping enemies of the Juarez cartel while also contributing to drug trafficking efforts.1 The group is comprised of former and current Mexican state police officers as well as drug traffickers who take part in assassinations, kidnappings, and the only Mexican gang to have performed a car bombing against federal authorities. The infamous car bombing took place in Juarez City, killing four people including a police officer. It was intended to kill federal police and was detonated by cell phone.2 Established by Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the former leader of the Juarez cartel, to specialize in enforcement. Los Linces, a special detachment of La Linea, was established in response to the need for even more assistance against Mexican authorities and associates of the Sinaloa cartel. Infamous for killing a group of teenagers at a birthday party which resulted in 16 deaths and many other injuries. The group thought that one of the teenagers was an informant for the police.3 Los Linces (The Bobcats) are a special unit within La Linea whose sole purpose is to carry out assassinations on important targets. They are comprised of ex-special forces members from the Mexican Army, and are considered the more militaristic of the two enforcement groups that work for the Juarez cartel. Los Linces are comparable to Los Zetas in terms ofmilitary experience and have been known to operate in small groups of no larger than 5 individuals.

  • Civil Society, the Government, and the Development of Citizen Security
    Civil Society, the Government, and the Development of Citizen Security STEVEN DUDLEY AND SANDRA RODRÍGUEZ NIETO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper explores how civil society organizations have interacted with government authorities and security forces in four Mexican cities where violence and organized crime have been on the rise. The four cities—Ciudad Juárez, Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, and Tijuana—have many shared characteristics, the most important of which are that they are all border cities, and that they are all facing down extremely violent criminal organizations. Despite these similarities, civil society’s ability to interact effectively with the government and security forces has varied widely. The paper is broken down by city in order to better assess each attempt individually. In each section, the authors give background to the problem, a profile of the civil society organizations present, a description of their attempts to interact with the government and security forces, and an assessment of the successes and failures of those attempts. These attempts are ongoing, but to advance the discussion, the authors offer the following key observations from their research: • Civil society organizations are strongest when they combine various sectors of society, stretch across political parties and have solid, independent voices. • Municipal and state authorities are the key to more security, but civil society actors need the support of federal level politicians to achieve the highest levels of interaction and effectiveness. • It is necessary to involve security forces directly in these interactions in order for there to be any broad, long-term security gains for the civilian populace. • Civil society works best with government when its role is clearly defined at the earliest stages with the government and security force interlocutors.
