1 February 2021 a group of unknown people arrived on the coast of Oaxaca. They recorded a video, in which armed men threatened to kill the leadership of the state police and the State Agency of Investigation of Mexico. They also stated that, that they are going to "cleanse the state of thugs" on their own.
Speakers, according to appearance, far from these thugs. At the same time, they did not talk about their belonging to drug cartels or self-defense units., positioning themselves rather as independent fighters against lawbreakers.

The plans of the “glorious” company are to occupy the territories of the municipalities of the Rio Grande, Tututepek, Colotepec, Puerto Escondino, Tonameka and Pochutla. And users of social networks from Oaxaca are waiting for this team - it turns out, and municipal police, and the Agency spoiled a lot of blood for the local population.
This week the author Telegram-channel "Sex, cartels, Frida Kahlo talks about, how US-trained Mexican special forces became the prime suspect in the migrant massacre, will tell about the arrest of the unofficial head of Piedras Negras, as well as about, how Matamoros was overwhelmed by the showdown of criminal gangs.
twelve cops
3 February, Tamaulipas Attorney General's Office announced the arrest 12 police officers: they are all suspected of murder 19 a person in the municipality of Camargo, which supposedly happened 22 January.
Police charged with murder, malpractice, as well as perjury. A number of media reports, that law enforcement officers were in the service of drug cartels and, for a fee, carried out some “delicate” assignments. for example, carried out "cleansing" of territories from migrants, who tried to cross the border without the knowledge of the leaders of local criminal groups.
With those killed in Camargo, the situation is generally interesting. According to the first reports of the Mexican media, corpses left after another confrontation between the Golfo cartel and the Northeast cartel. Later they started talking about, that the dead are migrants from Guatemala, paid the local "coyote" (person, who is involved in smuggling or escorting migrants across the border).
Only four bodies have been identified so far. 19 - two Mexicans and two Guatemalans. Also found, what 16 corpses are male. One of the dead Mexicans just made a living by, that, for a relatively small fee, he helped migrants from Central America move to the United States.
As for the police, then the Mexican authorities have already seized on the fact, that some of them are members of the US-trained elite special forces group GOPES (this unit was recently formed, In the middle 2020 of the year). As a result, a very funny picture can be observed in the information field in the border area.: American publications draw parallels between the massacre in Camargo and the brutal executions of migrants in San Fernando in 2010 year, carried out by the Los Setas cartel.

Local media, in turn, began to criticize the training system for Mexican officials., carried out by the USA. Some journalists even took the liberty of saying, that the United States is deliberately sending employees to Mexican territory, whose integrity raises big questions.
Irapuato and unsuccessful special operations
4 February in Irapuato, one of the hotspots of the state of Guanajuato, The police chase for members of the drug cartel did not end on a positive note at all.
The perpetrators not only escaped prosecution - two law enforcement officers eventually had to run away from armed militants. They didn't get far: at the intersection of the streets of the Constitutionalists and Narciso Mendoza, the road to the police car was blocked by a truck, whose driver shot law enforcement officers point-blank.

Several units of the National Guard were immediately sent to the city, as well as employees of the Secretariat of Civil Security. Search operation from such measures, however, did not become more successful - the attackers disappeared into the water.
Piedras Negras has lost its curator
6 February, the Secretariat of National Defense of Mexico, in cooperation with the federal police, arrested Serafina N., head of the cell of the Northeast Cartel in the municipality of Piedras Negras.

Serafin not only oversaw the supply of cocaine to the American border, but also repeatedly attacked representatives of law enforcement agencies. The last murder took place in the municipality of Villa Unión, moreover, parts of the body of the unfortunate servant of the law, according to individuals, were found throughout the district for another week after the incident.
Without a doubt - all weekend Tamaulipas cops (well, at least those, who doesn't work for the Northeast Cartel) celebrated this victory. 48-Serafin, a year old, hails from Nuevo Laredo and had a close relationship with Juan Gerardo Treviño Chavez, leader of the Northeast Cartel, and Eduardo Kiutlahuac Flores Morales. Both citizens are nephews of Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, known throughout Mexico and the border states of the United States under the name Z-40.
To 2013 Z-40 was the leader of the Los Setas cartel - it was under him that the process of recruiting teenagers from Nuevo Laredo and American Laredo into the cartel began. "Kind" mentor taught children to kill each other, generously offering captives from the Golfo cartel as guinea pigs, migrants and lazy prostitutes. There are suspicions, that Serafin also took part in these entertainment events.
Fight in the Golfo cartel
On the same day, 6 February, in Matamoros was executed Enrique Cardenas, nephew of one of the original leaders of the Golfo Cartel, Osiel Cardenas Guillén.

At first no one believed the rumors. Tamaulipas is harsh on this issue - if you claim, that someone decided to be dead, please provide proof. At least a photograph of the victim's head.
In the case of Enrique Cardenas, photographic evidence appeared by the evening, although it would be better if no one ever found them. It revealed, that it was not militants from the Northeast Cartel who killed Cardenas Jr., dreaming of taking over Matamoros - Enrique was dealt with by his own, members of the Golfo cartel.
Experts rub their hands ominously, and the residents of Matamoros have already begun to mentally prepare for, that in a new internecine war they will be the first to suffer. It is unlikely that in this case the case will be limited only to internal proceedings in the Golfo cartel.: members of the Northeast Cartel will not miss this chance and will try to recapture the territories weakened by the conflict.
Drug addict in Sakatekase
Sunday in Nochistlan, in the state of Sakatecas, was not very calm.
7 February, a group of armed militants left a drug addict in the San Miguel area (drug cartel message to competitors, citizens or government officials), addressed to the Jalisco New Generation cartel.
Promises of an early reprisal, demands to stop the drug trade in the state and other mandatory attributes of any decent drug addict were from the Sinaloa cartel.

No one thinks of any truce. How they like to joke (true, with a bit of sadness) young people from the same Tamaulipas:
"This country is a branch of Hell, and he will never take a breather".
