Video from Nuevo Laredo: Driver Sees He Is About to Be Stopped in Narco Blockade and Quickly Reacts

Chivis Martinez  Borderland Beat   LaVozDelPueblo


On January 3rd at 6:09AM the Northeast Cartel (CDN) attempts to stop people in a narco blockade.  The occupants of the vehicle appear to be Americans.  The incident occurred in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas on  Colosio Blvd. (the International Bridge II).  

The driver had good awareness of where he was and immediately knew what was happening, allowing him time to react.  

A couple of the comments from those viewing the video:

This is a difficult thing. You should not take a risk travelling at night you are only putting a weapon to your head, follow the recommendations, there are no guarantees ...

The next comment says---- “you go through the same thing (several times) at 4 in the afternoon, there is no difference day or night…”


Thank you Borderland Beat Follower for sending this video in from November, where in NL an attempt to pull over a family near the bridge...

  1. They were lucky that the cartel putos didn't open fire on the vehicle! Traveling in Tamaulipas at night is crazy and very dangerous! That 13 year old who was killed recently, was in Tamaulipas near Mier, which was also crazy cause Mier is full of cartel assholes warring with each other.

    1. ur wrong, actually CDN tried to move in Cd Mier in August, but they were suprised by CDG and their blindaje monsters and ended up with high casualties and had to step back into NL
      Mier has always been under R-1 and C.D.G. Control, atleast since 2010, its CD mier where R-1 was born

  4. What’s crazy is that this is happening as soon as you cross the border not even a mile in. This is pathetic!!

  6. We read it here. Your car or money is not worth you life. How do people say this? Sometimes, like these people did, evade. You never know the other side's response. I know that split second decision is knowing where your are, where they are and the rules in Mexico. Agree, vehicle people are Americans, "Cartel", not spanish.

  14. And people wonder why hard working Mexican citizens risk their lives to come to the USA for low wages and long working hours. They just want to raise their families in peace like the rest of us. If I was born in Mexico, I’d take the chance 10 times out of 10 to cross illegally and hope to start a tranquil, fear free life over here. Mexico is lost and its going to take a revolution to come back. It’s too far gone to come back by politics. Too all the had working Mexican citizens, I truly hope the revolution happens soon. Enough is enough and these are Mexicans killing Mexicans!!

    1. Exactly!! To work, to make progress of ones only life. If you have children to raise them in peace without fear, to help your relatives to also start working whether as farmers, ranchers, mechanics, lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects etcetera. You need money to make money!

    2. Ive been saying a revolution is the only way. There are two criminals now. Cartels and the government.

    3. 5:58 there was one criminal at first, United Fruit co, that begat the CIA to pop ut their protection under the US government flag, and the expenses in the american public pockets...their tactics and technology created the banana republics and gorilla regimes that created modern drug trafficking and cartel infested LatinAmerica loaded with anti-insurgency training for their own gorilla military in their School of the Americas also known as the School of the Assassins...more on SOA WATCH.com

    4. I am relatively new to self- studying cartels/ government/police/federal, but I learned quickly they are all criminal groups, frequently groups within a criminal group which further complicated matters. Not only for a gringo novice but most sadly for the person who is just scraping to get by, praying their family or friends don't get involved or wind up as one of the missing.
      Just a mind boggling sad situation with 5,000 opinions on how to solve. THANK YOU SO, SO VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE, WITNESS AND/OR REPORT.-MISS H

    1. Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard is one of the main streets in Nuevo Laredo. It circles the eastern part of the city but it is a route home for thousands of people. I'm not saying that was the case here, but not everyone has the luxury to only drive in daylight. This is very sad.

    2. Come on.......stop blaming the victim....

      Delete
    3. The victims shouldn’t have to be worry about mugrusos trying to rob
      Them during the day or night.
      These guys need to go back to the old ways and just make money without the bullshit. They need better people to control their people weak leadership is what they have.

    4. 3:07 the old ways is gone, mexican narcos were making too much money,
      and, who needs more rich mexican drug traffickers???

  16. Narco blockade....smh. That's a shame Mexico's citizens have to put up with that. U trolls wanna compare the US to Mexico? I've never seen a mafia, bloods or crips, dtf, or any other criminals set up roadblocks in the US... Mexican Sovereignty at its finest...what a joke. It's only a matter of time before ARMED US drones fill Mexican skies. Big facts.

      too much rap where info come from

      Delete
    7. 5:51 nobody fantasizing about drones. That's just how we eliminate pieces of shit around the world lately. And since Mexico is full of POS, it a logical guess that's what we'll use. Ironic how we just flew one into another "sovereign" nation to eliminate a threat 6000 miles away. If these methed out sicarios keep killing Americans, surely there'll be one flying to a narco near u.

      Delete
    8. 1:35 you don't even know who the offenders are,
      I guess you do not care about collateral casualties either.
      That will bring hundreds of thousands of mexican refugees across the Rio Grande and they will never come back to Mexico.

    3. Detroit has paid the price of offshoring after getting exploited by big auto makers for hundreds of years, but drug trafficking money paid for the offshoring crap IPOs, money laundering specialized on it a long time ago...then the republicans under Nixxon connected with Mao's China to christianize their captive communist slave labor and save them through low wages and long hours...

  20. Holy Mackerel! They wanted thier truck, great thinking in getting out of the blockade, I am surprised they held off in shooting at them. Ruthless country, no safeguards to tourist, citizens, forget calling the police, they take thier time to respond.

  21. Did he make it or was he taken out like Sonny Corleone?

  22. Yikes. I've crossed through there multiple times on my way to Monterrey. It does "seem" safer during the day since there are usually a lot of cars in that boulevard during daylight. A lot of stuff that happens during nightfall is coming up in the news lately in Tamaulipas. Be safe and avoid traveling at night when possible!

    7. 4:58 email me and I will share. I prob shouldn't have said anything becase I don't have advice for the general public.
      I would say running from the blockade usually is a death sentence. cooperating gives you a good chance of survival. don't hesitate to "think" react immediately---no matter--- avoid night driving.

  23. Remember. the mexican government froze the zetas assets and bank accounts with the rest of the cartels so yes they are desperate

  26. Durante muchos años he estado de acuerdo con Don Fernando en que el acto más peligroso en México no es el fer de lance o los alacranes de durango. Ni siquiera los sicarios del noreste. El acto más peligroso en México es ubicarse entre un rico y su dinero. Quizás si los gringos ponen señales de carretera que explican que cruzar a México en este momento es demasiado peligroso y se recomienda en la próxima salida, dar la vuelta y partir. Las ciudades dependientes del turismo dolares estarían en crisis. La gente perdería su trabajo, el dinero se agotaría y los ricos advertirían a la gobernación del estado que su destino podría terminar en una fosa. Es una decisión cruel para los mexicanos, pero en este momento parece ser la única forma en que se puede mover al gobierno estatal y federal. Los puentes están tomando el nombre de los puentes de la muerte.

  27. This blockade is probably made up of halcones and low level sicarios by the looks of it. I've seen some of these blockades first hand in Michaocan back in 2014 the difference was that blockade had guys armed to teeth and even had a technical with them. The plaza boss of that area was their personally and stopped me and my dad but was a chill guy all around and later Less us through since he was just looking out for cars with Jalisco plates. He even told us that if we had trouble in town that we could just contact him and it will all be worked out from there.

  28. They control a very important border dummy robbing people is just extra or just for vehicles

  29. Just passed by there 3 weeks ago, same story CDN demand 1K Dollars, we gave $200. Its either pay up or get jacked/killed. Btw they always have lookouts right after leaving the border and stop you same place on the traffic lights even if you go with other cars, i saw a line of 6/8 cars just paying the mordida and going their way.

    ReplyDelete
  30. If he/she uploaded the video, I guess they got away, but maybe after a cdg chase. Maybe they saw american plates, who konws, maybe they dont want trouble with americans

  31. Driving back to the U.S this past Saturday in broad daylight in NL. There was an unmarked hoopty of a truck that had a white suv pulled over on the main road like they had cut off the suv. These men had ski mask on one guy was hanging out of the truck as if was looking out and the other was at the driver door of the suv with one arm and shoulder inside the suv and the other hand on the collar of the man in the suv. With that being said it is never safe to assume you are safe anytime

  36. Everyone in South Texas knows you dont drive ANY pickup truck or SUV into Mexico. Only idiots that think, no pasa nada, or have family that live in Mexico and are in the ruling cartel of the area do! A neighbor would take his Denali when he went to Reynosa, he would tell me my family is over there and knows “people”. Fast forward a little over a year and he has a new Jeep in the driveway and I asked him, ya trade in, and he said Nombre me la quitaron in Reynosa! Pobre Pendej@

    1. Truer words have never been spoken, but you only have to worry about the scummy criminals in the border cities, alot of mexicans that travel to states like durango, zacatecas, slp, take badass trucks and in some parts of those states the cartels still respect the paisanos and dont bother them yo

  37. So they crossed into mexico or were heading back to the usa? I assume it was 6am still dark and not many cars out, we never travel through nuevo laredo at night, everyone knows that. To risky i heard they use to purposely crash into people as a scam and the police were in it with the criminals. It happened to my uncle, he had to pay the police a good chunk of money. A compact mp5 would of taken care of those pricks.

  38. Here in the US, they coulda just stuck the 12 gauge out the window and blew the little sicario away...thata learned em..

  39. They sure did slam on that window hard as fuck. I would have driven out of there and hit a car or two if I had to.
