FBI offers $20,000 reward in case of missing American woman

by
FBI
  • FBI Assistant Director in charge does not believe narcotics cartels were involved in the kidnapping.
  • The agency has witness reports verifying Lopez’s kidnapping, but no additional facts.
  • The FBI did not reveal any details about the case.

The FBI has issued a $20,000 reward for information leading to the location of a 63-year-old US woman kidnapped from her home in Mexico more than a month ago.

Maria del Carmen Lopez was kidnapped on February 9 in Pueblo Nuevo, a community in the southern Mexico state of Colima, according to a notice from the FBI’s Los Angeles field office on Thursday.

According to a statement from the Colima Attorney General’s office, Lopez is also a Mexican citizen, and the office is cooperating with the FBI on the investigation.

The FBI did not reveal any details about the case, although Lopez was described as having blonde hair, brown eyes, and tattooed eyeliner.

According to FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the Los Angeles Field Office Donald Alway, federal authorities do not believe narcotics cartels were involved in the kidnapping. According to Alway, the agency has witness reports verifying Lopez’s kidnapping, but no additional facts about the case have been released.

“We are going to pursue this, and we’ll look at every avenue and we’ll follow every lead and we’ll open every door that we can find to ensure that our primary goal is to get her back safely,” he added.

The FBI’s revelation comes about two weeks after the kidnapping of four Americans, two of whom were killed, in the Mexican border city of Matamoros, and three weeks after the disappearance of three women who walked into Mexico to sell clothes at a flea market.

The Colima Attorney General’s Office started an investigation into Lopez’s disappearance on the day of the suspected kidnapping, and the Mexico Attorney General’s Specialized Prosecutor for Organized Crime has since requested to accept the case, according to a statement from Colima officials.

The Colima prosecutor’s office stated that it has shared material with Mexico federal authorities and has also worked with American agencies “in order to clarify the facts and protect the victim’s integrity.”

Anybody with information regarding Lopez’s whereabouts is urged to contact their local FBI office, submit a tip online, or contact the nearest American embassy or consulate.

Almost 100,000 Mexicans and migrants have gone missing across the country, leaving their families with little explanation and scant solace. The Mexican government’s fast response to recent American disappearances has aroused suspicions among those who blame officials for failing to respond in a number of domestic instances.

US to pay $6.5 million in lost wages to 13,000 Mexican migrants

by
Mexican migrant
  • 13,000 Mexican migrant workers are owed $6.5 million.
  • Mexican ministry and the US Department of ILAB are implementing the H-2A Workers’ Earnings Recovery Program.
  • It is unclear who employed these people and for how long they worked.

Some 13,000 Mexican migrant workers are owed $6.5 million in unpaid wages, according to a tweet from the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs, which announced a joint effort with Mexico to locate and compensate the workers.

“This program will return millions of dollars in back wages to Mexican nationals who participated in US temporary foreign worker programs,” tweeted Ken Salazar, the United States Ambassador to Mexico, on Tuesday.

Salazar noted that the Mexican ministry and the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs are implementing the H-2A Workers’ Earnings Recovery Program to ensure that workers receive their pay.

Backbone of America

Skilled foreign agricultural laborers are the backbone of American agriculture, and they are frequently in the country on H-2A seasonal visas. It is unclear who employed these people and for how long they worked when they did not receive their full salaries.

According to a news release from Mexico’s Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, the money owed to these thousands of workers was recovered by the US Department of Labor after it was unable to identify the individuals in order to distribute their checks.

The partnership will attempt to locate the migrant workers who are believed to have “received less than the legally established salary from their employers in the United States,” according to a press release by Mexico’s Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare.

The United States is anticipated to deliver Mexico a list of workers who are “owed wages and overtime.” Mexico will next search official databases for the personnel and notify them of their checks.

“Together, we watch over labor rights,” Mexico’s Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare Luisa Alcalde tweeted on Tuesday.

Andrés Manuel López says Mexico is safer than United States

by
Mexico
  • There is no issue with traveling safely through Mexico says Andrés Manuel López.
  • The statement came after the kidnapping incident of Americans.
  • Yet, the event has created ongoing tensions between Mexico’s president and US authorities.

Mexico, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claimed on Monday, is a safer country than the United States, weeks after the high-profile kidnapping of four Americans drew global attention to the country’s security crisis.

“Mexico is safer than the United States. There is no issue with traveling safely through Mexico. That’s something the US citizens also know, just like our fellow Mexicans that live in the US,” he said during his daily morning press briefing.

In early March, the kidnapped Americans were traveling in the Mexican border city of Matamoros when they were attacked by gunmen suspected to be associated with the Gulf cartel. The incident killed two Americans and a Mexican bystander.

On Friday, the Texas Department of Public Safety advised that residents avoid travel to Mexico during spring break, citing the risk of cartel violence.

Why the paranoia?

When asked about security in Mexico by a local reporter, López Obrador emphasized his country’s appeal to American visitors and ex-pats, who have flocked in recent years to attractive coastal areas as well as Mexico City to take advantage of the better weather and lower cost of living. Every year, US tourists bring in billions of dollars for Mexico.

“US government alerts say that it’s safe to only travel [in the states of] Campeche and Yucatan. If that were the case, so many Americans wouldn’t be coming in to live in Mexico City and the rest of the country. In the past few years is when more Americans have come to live in Mexico. So, what’s happening? Why the paranoia?”

The Mexican president also claimed there was “a campaign against Mexico from conservative US politicians that don’t want this country to keep developing for the good of the Mexican people.”

While portions of Mexico are popular tourist destinations, violent crime, such as kidnapping and human trafficking, is prevalent throughout the country, particularly in border areas. Mexico has one of the highest homicide rates in the world, and the country has been plagued by an epidemic of disappearances, with more than 100,000 Mexicans and migrants still missing.

Mexican officials’ incompetence and corruption have also eroded public faith; last year, a Mexican government investigation accused the country’s own military and police of the infamous disappearance of 43 students in 2014.

The US State Department has “do not travel” advisories in place for six of Mexico’s 32 states, including northeast Tamaulipas state, where Matamoros is located. It warns Americans to “reconsider travel” to seven Mexican states and “exercise increased caution” in 17 states.

China will fully extend its borders to foreigners, but there will be immediate challenges.

We don’t take orders from anyone

Six persons have been arrested in connection with the tragic Matamoros kidnapping, and Mexico has deployed hundreds of security officers to the area in an effort to protect “the well-being of citizens,” according to the military ministry.

Yet, the event has created ongoing tensions between Mexico’s president and US authorities.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, where the victims of the Matamoros attack are from, announced last week that he intends to introduce legislation designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and authorizing the US military to operate in Mexico to dismantle drug labs, which are typically run by such criminal organizations.

López Obrador described the notion as an “offense to the people of Mexico” and a “lack of respect for our independence.”

“We are not a protectorate of the United States or a colony of the United States. Mexico is a free, independent, sovereign country. We don’t take orders from anyone,” López Obrador said at a news conference.

Mexico too dangerous for spring break, says Texas officials

by
Mexico
  • Drug cartel violence is a serious concern to anyone traveling into Mexico.
  • It follows the kidnapping of four Americans.
  • Two were killed, while the other two were released uninjured.

Authorities in the US state of Texas have advised American citizens not to travel to Mexico during the spring break holidays for security reasons.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), drug cartel violence is a serious concern to anyone traveling into Mexico.

It follows the kidnapping of four Americans shortly after crossing the border last week.

Two were killed, while the other two were released uninjured.

Three American women who traveled to Mexico to sell garments at a market have gone missing for over two weeks.

“Drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat to anyone who crosses into Mexico right now,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw.

“Based on the volatile nature of cartel activity and the violence we are seeing there, we are urging individuals to avoid travel to Mexico at this time.”

When four Americans visited Matamoros, Mexico, earlier this month, they were kidnapped and two of them murdered by a drug cartel. In the shooting, a Mexican onlooker was also murdered.

The cartel involved has already apologized and turned over its own gunmen to authorities.

A note left with the cartel gunmen, who had been left on the roadside, accused them of acting “under their own decision-making and lack of discipline” as well as supposedly breaking cartel rules over “protecting the lives of the innocent”.

It was signed by the “Scorpions Group”, a splinter faction of the powerful Gulf Cartel.

Mexican investigators say the gang members mistook the Americans for competitors and opened fire on them as they attempted to flee.

The incident has the potential to deteriorate relations between the two countries.

A Republican lawmaker has pushed President Joe Biden’s administration to authorize American troops to cross the border to fight drug gangs.

The suggestions were labeled “arrogant” by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Similarly, two Texas sisters and a companion remain missing in Mexico after crossing the border last month to sell clothes at a flea market, according to US officials.

After days of silence, the spouse of one of the women reported their abduction to police in Texas.

“We don’t know if they made it there,” Roel Bermea, police chief in the border town of Penitas.”

The FBI had been notified, he added.

Mexican drug cartel turns in own men for US kidnapping killings

by
Mexico
  • The Scorpions Group has apologized for kidnapping four US citizens.
  • The Scorpions Group allegedly left a letter with the men.
  • Mexican authorities handed over the bodies of the two deceased men to US.

According to reports from the Mexican border city of Matamoros, the Scorpions Group, a splinter group of the Gulf Cartel, has apologized for kidnapping four US citizens last week, killing two of them, and has turned over the men it believes are responsible.

Many Mexican newspapers published a photograph on their front pages that appears to show five men lying face down on the ground, their hands tied and their T-shirts pulled up above their heads. It was apparently taken just as police arrived.

The Scorpions Group allegedly left a letter with the men in which it apologized to the people of Matamoros, the US victims and their families, and a Mexican woman killed last week when the gang opened fire on a white minivan carrying Americans.

According to the reports, a copy of the letter was obtained from a law enforcement official in the state of Tamaulipas.

“We have decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible for the events”, the letter reads, saying the five had “acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline”. The letter also accuses the men of breaking the cartel’s rules over “protecting the lives of the innocent”.

Meanwhile, police have cordoned off a health clinic in Matamoros where cartel members allegedly took injured US citizens for treatment. According to reports, the gang took the four Americans there, but the two with the most serious injuries, Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown, died soon after.

According to reports, Mexican authorities handed over the bodies of the two deceased men to US officials in Matamoros on Thursday afternoon, and their remains were repatriated.

The latest developments come as some in Mexico have questioned the initial version of events. The group was said to have travelled to Matamoros so that one of them, Latavia McGee, could undergo a cosmetic medical procedure at the city’s clinic. She was said to have been accompanied to the appointment by three friends.

According to Reports, three of the four Americans were convicted of minor drug-related offences, but one was charged with manufacturing prohibited narcotics with the intent to distribute.

According to Reports, the Mexican authorities are looking into the possibility that the four Americans were kidnapped because they were mistaken for rival cartel members encroaching on their territory.

The inquiry into the Americans’ background comes as the political temperature surrounding the Matamoros incident continues to rise. Several Republican politicians in the United States, including South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, have called for the use of US military force against Mexico’s drug cartels.

Specifically, he’s proposing a plan to designate Mexican drug cartels as “Foreign Terrorist Organisations” in order to, as he put it, “unleash the fury and might of the United States against (them)”.

That rhetoric prompted a furious response in Mexico from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who said “Mexico was not a protectorate or a colony of the United States”. Senator Graham’s proposal for military intervention was described as “unacceptable” by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard.

In the midst of the tense relations, US Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall is in Mexico for a meeting with President Lopez Obrador to discuss the US’s worsening fentanyl and synthetic opioid crisis.
