Drug cartels ambushed and murdered a number of Americans, mothers and their infant children, in northern Mexico yesterday.
A vehicle belonging to members of a Mormon family and traveling north through the Mexican state of Sonora was riddled with bullets and burned. They were reportedly on their way to a wedding in the United States as part of a family caravan. Rhonita Maria LeBaron was killed, along side her twin babies and two other children. Christina Langford Johnson, Dawna Langford and two of her children were also murdered in a separate attack. During and after the ambush, other children escaped and reportedly hid on the side of the road as their relatives were massacred.
Lafe Langford Jr., Dawna's nephew, posted video of the vehicle on Facebook and pleaded for help.

Teenagers and adults have been scrambling into the mountains to find our loved ones..risking their very own lives....while help is nowhere to be found... GOD HELP US IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY," he wrote. "Attention all of the World. We are a community of US citizens that live and operate between Mexico and the United States we are under attack as we speak by the cartels in Mexico...

More from the Daily Mail:
In last night’s massacre, Rhonita Maria LeBaron was traveling to Phoenix when her car broke down, according to relatives.
Gunmen opened fire and torched her vehicle causing the gas tank to explode where she died along with her twin six-month-old babies, Titus and Tiana and two more of her children Krystal, 10, and Howard, 12.
Eight miles ahead, Christina Langford Johnson, 31, Dawna Ray Langford, 43, and two of Dawna's children, Trevor, 11, and Rogan, 3, were also killed in other SUVs. Other family members are still unaccounted for.
Mexican authorities have confirmed the deaths of at least five people and have launched an investigation. Early reports and community members say nine people were killed or are missing.
For more than a decade, Colonia LeBaron in Chihuahua has managed to survive in a region engulfed by the drug war. Today, at least 7 members of this Mormon colony were killed & burned in neighboring Sonora (3 women, 7 children) Others are disappeared. Most are dual US/MX citizens https://t.co/IRqnZ3VUcu— José Díaz-Briseño (@diazbriseno) November 5, 2019
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has not released a statement.
Incident happened due south of AZ/NM border. The border is “fluid” or porous in that area. Drug traffickers cross and re-cross the border all the time in that area. No fear. A tall wall would at least slow them down until the BP arrived on scene.
Connected to the actress Allison Mack from the Smallville TV show, and funded by one of the Bronfman (sp?) family (heir to the Seagram's liquor fortune).
One of the Bronfman daughters originally had her bail set at $100 million by a Federal court.
$100 million in bail by a federal court is more than just heartburn.
This Mormon Colony had previously lost two members murdered by the Cartel. The strongly opposed drug use/distribution and were killed for their convictions.
Darwin would have suggested that they vacate Mexico.
Along with another 1.5 million Americans currently residing in Mexico.
That’s a question I’ve always asked. And, how is it being laundered?
Absolutely
Isn’t Mitt’s father from this part of Mexico?
Mitt has relatives in Mexico.
Put a list on the wall and throw some darts.
Reading other articles on this, the family has lived in this area of Mexico for a hundred years.
Traveling to the United States to get their children delivered on the American taxpayers dime and then gaining dual citizenship through their anchor babies before returning home to Mexico does not cause me to see this as something that the United States should be involved in.
In anyway.
Now.
If someone in the United States feels the need to take this on, they can drive their asses down to Mexico.
Otherwise let the Mexican government handle Mexico.
The Lebarons are a polygamist sect split off of the Mormon church. While many are still in the US, many also went to Mexico to avoid the law. There are some incidents of violence and inter-clan bloodshed in their past.

As recently as 2009, 72-year-old Meredith Romney, a relative of the Republican nominee, was kidnapped by Mexican gunmen in a strange vendetta involving drug cartels, land disputes and private militias.
Some Romney relatives, like Meredith, still reside today in a 1,600-member community where they “live in a level of luxury in stark contrast to the farmers and laborers around them,” according to an investigation by the crime reporter Jerry Langton. (Langton, Jerry. Gangland. Wiley, 2012, pp. 152-155)
Romney’s great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, established a polygamous enclave in Mexico in 1885 to escape federal prosecutors in Utah who were denying polygamists the rights to vote, sit on juries, or run for office. According to Andrea Mitchell, “The Romneys that came back from Mexico to the United States... crossed the border illegally.” (January 22, 2012)
Though polygamy in Mexico was illegal as well, according to a 1902 Mormon history by William Alexander Linn, the Romney enclave at Colonia LeBaron, in the Sierra Madre foothills, survived and prospered down to present times. Mitt’s father, former Michigan governor George Romney, was born in Chihuahua in 1907.
Narcos, largely true, is a wonderful three season presentation available on Netflix, about the war on the Colombian drug cartels. One point that is made early on is that the Mexican cartels made a big mistake in kidnapping, torturing and murdering DEA agent Enrique Camarena. DEA wiped out the killers in retribution and to ensure that the other cartels learned it was very unwise to again attack US agents. For the most part, they left US personnel alone after this; perhaps another lesson is in order.
“To the citizens of the United States Of America, Mexico and to HUMAN BEINGS across the world....THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY THAT IS HAPPENING NOW..NEW DETAILS ARE ARRIVING BY THE SECOND......................... “Attention all of the World. We are a community of US citizens that live and operate between Mexico and the United States
Petitioned the US embassy? (normally one would say for help)
live and operate between US and Mexico? who says operate?
But if one grew up and learned English from tv and the movies this might be how one would say it?
There is much more to the story?
No, no troops in Mexico - ever! We need a couple of strike teams located near the border to begin selectively targeting cartel leadership and Los Zetas. Fly in in the middle of the night, fast rope into their compound, kill every swinging “Richard” in the compound and be home for breakfast. We already have the intel we need to take them out, but refuse to do so for issues of Mexican “national sovereignty”. It would benefit both the US and Mexican people - finally.
Whenever a preaching missionary enters an alien culture, there is inherent danger. He or she is in inherent conflict with the endemic culture that the missionary does not fully understand. Many missionaries die horrible deaths and go to their death not really understanding why they are killed.
“Attention all of the World. We are a community of US citizens that live and operate between Mexico and the United States”
Not anymore.
Why involve troops?
Drones with hellfires can easily destroy known cartel headquarters. All there must be killed. Women, Children, dogs, cats.....all.
No mercy no quarter.
The lamentations of women will result in change
