The arrest of a woman known as the 'she devil' has lifted the veil on a Mexican cartel scheme to cut babies out of their mothers' womb and sell the infants for less than $14,000 to Americans, US officials have confirmed.
Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, 44, alias 'La Diabla,' ran a baby trafficking operation for Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Juarez, Mexico- directly across the border from El Paso, Texas, the National Counterterrorism Center stated after her Sept. 2 arrest.
La Diabla had been luring Mexican pregnant women, often poor and looking for work, to remote areas of the city where the unsuspecting women were then forced into clandestine C-sections.
The infants were ripped out of their bodies, in at least one case with rudimentary tools, and the mother's organs were harvested for black market sale.
The newborns were then sold to American couples who paid up to 250,000 pesos or about $13,631 US dollars.
A gay couple was among the Americans buying the babies, according to Mexican newspaper El Diario de Juarez.
It's unclear how many women were killed this way, however, the Mexican border city has had a decades-long history of women disappearing or being found in mass graves.
Currently over 131,000 people have been reported missing in the country, although the true number is believed to be higher by human rights organizations due to underporting.
US law enforcement tipped off Mexican officials, who were then able to move in and take La Diabla into custody.
Mendez has been charged by Mexican officials in the July 25 murder of a 20-year-old pregnant woman who was seven months pregnant when she was tortured, reported El Diario de Juarez.

The Americans need to be found and charged with Human Trafficking (Sp?).
No excuses.
No way, no how, should *any* child be left with *any* American who has a baby sold to them via this route.
I would encourage Accessory to Murder, though that would be this side of impossible to get a conviction under American standards.
Human Trafficking, however, they should be going to prison for....
“What about the baby?”
Put it up for adoption if the father of the child or family of the dead mother cannot be located.
There should be **no** quarter given on this issue.
Say what? Hospitals have been getting tens of thousands of dollars for human organs for decades.
Sickening.
She referenced baby farms which pretty much vanished in the 1960s. Before organ replacement was a thing.
The Devil is loose.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope there is follow-up on the detention of this monster. Don’t have much faith in Mexican law enforcement. Will the cartel buy them off?
Well if the US adoption system hadn’t turned into a huge money making program.
this made not have happened.
WOW
A novelist couldn’t make up this sh!t. Horrific.
