A Mexican official overseeing security in Chihuahua, Mexico was arrested Tuesday in connection to a massacre that left three American women and six children dead last month, according to the New York Post.

The group found itself ambushed by cartels as they were making their way through Sonora, Mexico to visit family in the United States.

Fidel Alejandro Villegas Villegas, the Director of Public Safety in Janos, was arrested by the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Organized Crime Investigation (Seido) for his suspected connection to Juarez drug cartel, according to the Herald of Chihuahua.

“Mexican official with suspected cartel ties”

Sounds kind of redundant.

That happens when women in the drug business have their children with them.

It’s Mexico.

And it’s been known what sort of people this particular family was since that kerfuffle in Huston, after which they fled back to Mexico.

I feel sorry for the kids.

The women? Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

A few sacrificial lambs to take the heat. The problem is terrorist cartel armies roaming Mexico.

The only thing they will understand is at 3am some morning the F-18s simultaneously drop 2000 pound JDAMs on a few dozen cartel Hacienda HQ’s, production centers, and strongholds. (Yes, we know precisely where they are)
The next morning completely seize a couple of the largest dope money laundering banks.

Just the fact el Presidente doesn’t want President Trump to designate drug cartels as terrorist groups should tell us something.

I’m so shocked!

Not.

Sadly, not a surprise.

I think there is yet more to this than we’re being told. My guess is the real story will continue to drip out. My additional guess is that those involved are hoping to hush it up and drag it out until people forget about it. I think the perps are gonna fail.

No doubt, it will be awhile before the whole story is known.

The Elle article is nothing more than innuendo smearing the victims.

Two previous kidnap/murders for “confronting” the cartels is not a “connection” to the cartels, it’s another crime/victimization.

Same with the NXVIM crap. That NXVIM recruited or attempted to recruit isolated young girls from their community is more victimization, not participation or “connections”.

This is liberal shinola to portray the victims of border crime as implicated in their own murders in order to downplay the need for the wall and border/immigration control.

Wake up and smell the propaganda.

No, the press took two prior incidences of victimization and spin it under breathless headlines as “connections” to vaguely imply that the victims are unsavory.

Read the actual damn articles and eventually you will reach the nothingburger information that two members of the Lebaron family were murdered for confronting cartel members. Or that NXIVM was trying to recruit naive girls from the area to their grooming school.

This is blaming the victim BS in an attempt to downplay border violence, which is real violence done by real criminals to anyone who even just looks at them funny.

Maybe the LeBaron community is unsavory, I don’t know. But I do know that so far you haven’t posted any sort of evidence for your claim.

No, I am at work and I am not digging back years ago to look for all the crap these illegals who came to the US just to have the taxpayer pay for their anchorbabies were previously involved in on a workday.

A bunch of Mexicans had a drug war in Mexico.
Not a problem that the United States needs to be involved in.
We have problems here that affect our own people.

You beat me to it. If there were a Mexican official who did not have ties to the cartels that would be news.
