Jaoquin “El Chapo” Guzman will bring war to Tijuana
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 7/Oct/2010 20:17
Tijuana– Headed by Fernando Sanchez Arellano (member of the Arellano Felix dynasty), the Tijuana cartel is recovering territories and markets it had previously lost. They kill, kidnap and offer drugs on a massive scale to a state that is already flooded with them, the ministerial police have been corrupted and are now considered the armed wing of the cartel.
People who live in the city recognize that the violence has diminished, but there are still murders and decapitations, kidnappings and shootouts which are largely ignored by the central government in Mexico City.
There is also suspicion in Tijuana that there is some type of pact between the state government, local business leaders, and the news media to collectively turn a blind eye to these actions.

Local law enforcement is “doing the job the federal government just won’t do†by being the first line of defense against illegal alien crime in America.
