Regional Overview: Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean19-25 June 2021 Regional Overview: Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean19-25 June 2021 acleddata.com/2021/07/01/regional-overview-mexico-central-america-and-the-caribbean19-25-june-2021/ July 1, 2021 Last week in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, gang violence remained high. In Mexico, ongoing turf wars between gangs intensified in the states of Tamaulipas and Zacatecas. In Nicaragua, police continued to arrest members of the political opposition and candidates for the presidential election. Meanwhile, in Honduras, people demonstrated against the government’s project of developing Zones of Employment and Economic Development (ZEDES). In Guatemala, former military officers continued to protest, demanding compensation for their service during the civil war which lasted from 1960 to 1996. In Mexico, ongoing turf wars between gangs and cartels in the states of Zacatecas and Tamaulipas intensified, causing a significant number of fatalities. In Tamaulipas, members of Los Ciclones and Los Escorpiones gangs killed at least 15 civilians in the city of Reynosa, which is known for being controlled by Los Metros gang (El Financiero, 25 June 2021). These three groups are factions of the Gulf Cartel which maintains control over drug and human trafficking routes in the border area that connects the state of Tamaulipas to the United States (BBC, 28 January 2021). Despite the dominance of the area by the Gulf Cartel, the leadership of the group has been disputed since the killing of one of its leaders in 2010 (La Silla Rota, 12 August 2018). The recent escalation in the conflict between the different factions of the cartel follows the National Alliance Party’s (PAN) loss in the local elections held on 6 June. The PAN is the party of the state governor, who is accused of money laundering and receiving money from the Gulf Cartel to finance his political campaign. The support that the governor had in the local congress had ensured his impunity against corruption charges (Expansion Politica, 23 June 2021). As PAN has now lost its majority in the local congress, opposition parties now have the majority needed to reopen a legal case against him (El Pais, 7 June 2021). This political shift could upset the balance of control that some factions of the Gulf Cartel have over the political ruling elite, fueling disputes between groups that seek to establish alliances with politicians to further their activities (Infobae, 22 June 2021). 1/3 Similarly, in Zacatecas, turf wars between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) intensified, resulting in a large number of fatalities. On 24 June, at least 35 people were killed in a clash between members of the Sinaloa Cartel and the CJNG in the community of San Juan Capistrano. Clashes between these two cartels have become more frequent since the end of 2020 (El Financiero, 24 April 2020). The Sinaloa Cartel has maintained traditional control of the states of Nayarit, Durango, and part of Zacatecas, and currently is seeking to prevent the expansion of the CJNG in these states (El Pais, 2 April 2021). In recent years, Zacatecas has become the center for the production of synthetic drugs in the country. Located in the middle of the country, the state is in a strategic position, with roads that connect to Mexico City and that lead to the border with the United States (La Jornada, 18 January 2021). In Nicaragua, a wave of arrests of members of the political opposition continued ahead of the presidential election scheduled for 7 November. On 20 June, police officers arrested Miguel Mora, a journalist and the presidential candidate for the opposition Democratic Restauration Party (PRD). The following day, another journalist and a former congresswoman were detained by the police. President Daniel Ortega’s crackdown on presidential candidates and critics of his government has increased in the last month as he seeks to secure his re-election. Since the beginning of June, five presidential candidates and 13 members of the opposition have been arrested. In Honduras, political discussions over the establishment of development zones known as ZEDES triggered demonstrations last week. The ZEDES will be established in rural areas and will be opened up to foreign investors. Though they remain under the control of the central government, they will have their own administration system and be subjected to a special tax regime that includes tax exemptions for investors (El Heraldo, 24 May 2021). In the municipality of La Ceiba and in the capital Tegucigalpa, people protested against the ZEDES, claiming that they undermine the sovereignty of the state, and could open the door to money laundering schemes (El Diario.Es, 21 June 2021). Indigenous and rural communities have also opposed ZEDES, over fears that they will lead to the expropriation of lands and encourage environmental damage to protected areas (Deutsche Welle, 18 March 2021). Last week, hundreds of members of the Garifuna indigenous community clashed against supporters of the government who were attending a meeting to discuss the establishment of ZEDES in the municipality of La Ceiba. According to local experts, the government is seeking to fast track the establishment of these zones before the general election scheduled for 28 November, and secure their functioning regardless of the election outcome (Expediente Publico, 14 June 2021). In Guatemala, former military officers staged protests, demanding compensation for their service during the civil war which lasted from 1960 to 1996. On 21 June, veterans marched and delayed traffic on roads in at least 21 municipalities across six of the country’s 22 departments. The protests were prompted by Congress’ failure to approve a law granting them access to compensation established in the 1996 peace accord following their reintegration into civilian life (Prensa Libre, 13 August 2019). Since 2019, congressional discussions about this law have been paused over disagreements 2/3 concerning the amount of compensation for the former soldiers (Infobae, 23 March 2021). The veterans announced that if Congress did not approve the bill by October, they would continue to protest (La Prensa Libre, 23 June 2021). This is the second wave of such protests recorded thus far in 2021. © 2021 Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). All rights reserved. 3/3.

  • The Reorganization of the Huichol Ceremonial Precinct (Tukipa) of Guadalupe Ocotán, Nayarit, México Translation of the Spanish by Eduardo Williams
    FAMSI © 2007: Víctor Manuel Téllez Lozano The Reorganization of the Huichol Ceremonial Precinct (Tukipa) of Guadalupe Ocotán, Nayarit, México Translation of the Spanish by Eduardo Williams Research Year : 2005 Culture : Huichol Chronology : Modern Location : Nayarit, México Site : Guadalupe Ocotán Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Linguistic Note Introduction Architectural Influences The Tukipa District of Xatsitsarie The Revolutionary Period and the Reorganization of the Community The Fragmentation of the Community The Tukipa Precinct of Xatsitsarie Conclusions Acknowledgements Appendix: Ceremonial precincts derived from Xatsitsarie’s Tuki List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract This report summarizes the results of research undertaken in Guadalupe Ocotán, a dependency and agrarian community located in the municipality of La Yesca, Nayarit. This study explores in greater depth the political and ceremonial relations that existed between the ceremonial district of Xatsitsarie and San Andrés Cohamiata , one of three Wixaritari (Huichol) communities in the area of the Chapalagana River, in the northern area of the state of Jalisco ( Figure 1 , shown below). Moreover, it analyzes how the destruction of the Temple ( Tuki ) of Guadalupe Ocotán, together with the modification of the community's territory, determined the collapse of these ceremonial links in the second half of the 20th century. The ceremonial reorganization of this district is analyzed using a diachronic perspective, in which the ethnographic record, which begins with Lumholtz' work in the late 19th century, is contrasted with reports by missionaries and oral history. Similarly, on the basis of ethnographic data and information provided by archaeological studies, this study offers a reinterpretation of certain ethnohistorical sources related to the antecedents of these ceremonial centers.

Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540−4840 Tel: 202−707−3900 Fax: 202−707−3920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Criminal and Terrorist Activity in Mexico PREFACE This study is based on open source research into the scope of organized crime and terrorist activity in the Republic of Mexico during the period 1999 to 2002, and the extent of cooperation and possible overlap between criminal and terrorist activity in that country. 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.

  • Gangs Beyond Borders
    Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Message from the Attorney General California is a leader for international commerce. In close proximity to Latin America and Canada, we are a state laced with large ports and a vast interstate system. California is also leading the way in economic development and job creation. And the Golden State is home to the digital and innovation economies reshaping how the world does business. But these same features that benefit California also make the state a coveted place of operation for transnational criminal organizations. As an international hub, more narcotics, weapons and humans are trafficked in and out of California than any other state. The size and strength of California’s economy make our businesses, financial institutions and communities lucrative targets for transnational criminal activity. Finally, transnational criminal organizations are relying increasingly on cybercrime as a source of funds – which means they are frequently targeting, and illicitly using, the digital tools and content developed in our state. The term “transnational organized crime” refers to a range of criminal activity perpetrated by groups whose origins often lie outside of the United States but whose operations cross international borders. Whether it is a drug cartel originating from Mexico or a cybercrime group out of Eastern Europe, the operations of transnational criminal organizations threaten the safety, health and economic wellbeing of all Americans, and particularly Californians.

Overview InSight Crime, a foundation that studies organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean (Insight Crime n.d.), indicates that Mexico’s larger drug cartels have become fragmented or "splintered" and have been replaced by "smaller, more volatile criminal groups that have taken up other violent activities" (InSight Crime 16 Jan. 2019). According to sources, Mexican law enforcement efforts to remove the leadership of criminal organizations has led to the emergence of new "smaller and often more violent" (BBC 27 Mar. 2018) criminal groups (Justice in Mexico 19 Mar. 2018, 25; BBC 27 Mar. 2018) or "fractur[ing]" and "significant instability" among the organizations (US 3 July 2018, 2). InSight Crime explains that these groups do not have "clear power structures," that alliances can change "quickly," and that they are difficult to track (InSight Crime 16 Jan.

Los Zetas and Proprietary Radio Network Development Abstract The years from 2006 through 2011 were very active years for a number of Mexican drug trafficking organizations. However, the group that probably saw the most meteoric rise in this period, Los Zetas, had a unique and innovative tool at their disposal. It was during these years that the group constructed and utilized a proprietary encrypted radio network that grew to span from Texas to Guatemala through the Gulf States of Mexico and across much of the rest of the country. This network gave the group an operational edge. It also stood as a symbol of the latitude the group enjoyed across vast areas, as this extensive illicit infrastructure stood, in the face of the government and rival cartels, for six years.

Summary Page 1 II. Kidnappings Page 6 III. Gangs Page 8 IV. Overview Page 19 Southwest Border Gang Recognition – Page 2 of 19 Pages Summary The perpetual growth of gangs and active recruitment with the state of Texas, compounded by the continual influx of criminal illegal aliens crossing the Texas-Mexico border, threatens the security of all U.S. citizens. Furthermore, the established alliances between these prison and street gangs and various drug trafficking organizations pose a significant threat to the nation. Gangs now have access to a larger supply of narcotics, which will undoubtedly increase their influence over and presence in the drug trade, as well as increase the level of gang-related violence associated with illegal narcotics trafficking. Illegal alien smuggling has also become profitable for prison and other street gangs, and potentially may pose a major threat to national security. Multi-agency collaboration and networking—supplemented with modern technology, analytical resources, and gang intervention and prevention programs—will be critical in the ongoing efforts to curtail the violence associated with the numerous gangs now thriving in Texas and the nation.1 U.S.-based gang members are increasingly involved in cross-border criminal activities, particularly in areas of Texas and California along the U.S.—Mexico border. Much of this activity involves the trafficking of drugs and illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States and considerably adds to gang revenues.

    STATEMENT OF PAUL E. KNIERIM DEPUTY CHIEF OF OPERATIONS OFFICE OF GLOBAL ENFORCEMENT DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON BORDER SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION UNITED STATES SENATE FOR A HEARING ENTITLED “NARCOS: TRANSNATIONAL CARTELS AND BORDER SECURITY” PRESENTED DECEMBER 12, 2018 Statement of Paul E. Knierim Deputy Chief of Operations, Office of Global Enforcement Drug Enforcement Administration Before the Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration United States Senate December 12, 2018 Mr. Chairman, Senator Cornyn, distinguished Members of the subcommittee – on behalf of Acting Drug Enforcement Administrator Uttam Dhillon and the men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), thank you for holding this hearing on Mexican Cartels and Border Security and for allowing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to share its views on this very important topic. It is an honor to be here to discuss an issue that is important to our country and its citizens, our system of justice, and about which I have dedicated my professional life and personally feel very strongly. I joined the DEA in 1991 as a Special Agent and was initially assigned to Denver, and it has been my privilege to enforce the Controlled Substances Act on behalf of the American people for over 27 years now. My perspective on Mexican Cartels is informed by my years of experience as a Special Agent in the trenches, as a Supervisor in Miami, as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Dallas to the position of Assistant Regional Director for the North and Central America Region, and now as the Deputy Chief of Operations for DEA.
