A Texas family has reportedly been kidnapped by a criminal cartel while traveling through Mexico, and there’s a stark silence on the apparent abduction from the White House.
According to Breitbart, gunmen from the Los Zetas cartel are likely responsible for the disappearance of the family of 39-year-old Gladys Cristina Perez Sanchez. The mom and her two children, ages 9 and 16, were last seen on June 13.
All three are American citizens, making President Joe Biden’s silence even more worrying.
The apparent kidnapping happened after the family left Sabina Hidalgo, a town in the Mexican border state of Nuevo Leon where a sick relative of Sanchez’s lives.
Although the group only had about 80 miles to cover before reaching their Laredo, Texas home, they never reached the house. Family members became even more concerned when calls to Sanchez and the children went straight to voicemail.
The stretch of road the family was traveling on is infamous for cartel attacks and abductions. Many other roads leading to the U.S. in Mexican border areas are also plagued by narco-bandits.
Soon after the family’s disappearance, Mexican officials in the state issued notices and began to look for the missing Americans.

Who goes to Mexico?
Why would anyone travel or vacation in Mexico......especially during our present turmoil?
Biden: Who do I look like, Broderick Crawford?
Guatemalans......................
If it is to see family, they can telecommute.
The question should be, “Who goes to the non tourist parts of Mexico?”
I don’t blame Biden for this. Mexico has been dangerous for a long, long, long time.
Because he doesn’t care about Americans and is willingly selling out this country.
Sleepy doesn’t recognize a Southern Border or any border for that matter. These folks ran into trouble in South Texas or, as Kamala might call it, Northern Guatemala.
Why would any American travel in Mexico?
It won’t be long until these things happen regularly on this side of the border.
Unfortunately, some members of my family. :o(
—”Unfortunately, some members of my family. “
I worked many years with a Tex-Mex, his family owned land on both sides of the border and had for a very long time.
His US Army son was in the area and suggested he visit the rest of the family on the south side, the son told him he was afraid to go there!
Later my friend was visiting and went south in his rental car; bad idea.
Even though he knows many and speaks the local dialect, he said it means nothing and they will kidnap you for a few dollars.
It's family alright. Running drugs for another cartel is my guess. The Los Zetas don't like competition. This family has likely been tortured and dismembered.
Horrible.
That said, it is nuts to go to Mexico.
I had close relatives choose to drive through Mexico about eight years ago, despite our strong dissent. They figured it wasn’t appreciably different than their last time through, ten years earlier.
Their first alarm went off immediately after exiting to Mexico on their highway. Mexican Army trucks helped guide vehicles for dozens of miles past discarded, often crashed cars, all along the road.
They were chased by some dangerous people who tried to crash them into a mountain pass where other cars were seen wrecked against a curve. They were able to evade the truck but had to find a place to hide for a bit before continuing.
They did not feel safe until they got to Guatemala, where it has its own drug issues.
They haven’t been back to Mexico since, except maybe on an airport connection.
Folks, don’t drive into Mexico.
I have no doubt that a terrible fate awaited them.
I have heard boys being turned into murderers and we know what happens to girls.
Exactly true.
Does this call for a Darwin award ?

Mexicans.
