Who Is El Jardinero?
By "Karamazov" for Borderland Beat
Audias Flores Silva, a.k.a “El Jardinero,” “Gabriel Raigosa Plascencia,” “Comandante,” “El Bravo 2,” “Audi,” and “Mata Jefes,” is a senior regional commander of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), one of Mexico’s most powerful and violent transnational criminal organizations. He was captured by Mexican security forces during a major military operation in Nayarit on April 27, 2026.
Drones, Outfitted Trailers, and 10,000 Cameras: a Visit to Maru Campos’s “Mini-Pentagon” in Chihuahua
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Following the controversy sparked by the presence of CIA agents in Chihuahua—a presence revealed by the deaths of two agents in a road accident—the state government is currently assessing the legal propriety of allowing U.S. security agencies to be stationed on the 18th floor of the Centinela Tower.
As recently as April 13, Chihuahua’s Secretary of Public Security, Gilberto Loya, announced that U.S. personnel would be stationed on that specific floor of the agency’s headquarters building with the aim of improving coordination and information sharing—a stance that has since shifted.
“Nothing has been finalized yet, but yes, that was indeed supposed to be the idea,” Adrián Eduardo Chavira, Undersecretary for the Centinela Platform, told *MILENIO*.
For their part, state officials confirmed to this media outlet that the legal and logistical feasibility of the project was indeed being analyzed.
What is known about the Centinela Tower?
Against this backdrop, Gilberto Loya sidestepped confirming the stationing of U.S. agencies within the tower, limiting his remarks to stating that all operations are being conducted in strict accordance with established coordination protocols.
“The key issue here is collaboration—as the President [Claudia Sheinbaum] herself stated: ‘Collaboration is a legal practice,’ provided that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is represented in all our meetings. This applies to all working groups—since we operate under the Border Security Protocol program—which include the participation of all relevant authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs among them,” he replied when questioned on the matter, before abruptly taking his leave.
Doubts regarding the presence of agencies from that country within this tower—a structure that has been a source of controversy since its very construction—have intensified following the deaths of two CIA agents who had participated in an operation to dismantle a drug laboratory in Chihuahua. Days before the accident, Loya announced that one of the top floors of the Tower—the headquarters of Chihuahua’s Secretariat of Security—would be allocated for offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos sought to transform the *Torre Centinela* (Sentinel Tower) into a security operations hub equipped with over 10,000 cameras.
Ever since the CIA’s presence in a state-led operation was confirmed, an investigation was launched to determine whether the country's sovereignty had been violated. Consequently, questions have arisen regarding whether such sovereignty can be guaranteed given the presence of foreign agents within the *Torre Centinela*—known on social media as "Maru Campos’s Mini-Pentagon" and serving as the flagship project of the program bearing the same name.
MILENIO toured three floors of the new headquarters for the Secretariat responsible for security and police intelligence in Chihuahua. The headquarters is situated in Ciudad Juárez—a location chosen because this border city previously recorded the highest rates of criminal activity in the state—and has since yielded positive results.
“The indicators we have been tracking include, in fact, the ranking of the world’s most dangerous cities. Previously—if I recall correctly—we were ranked 12th when we first arrived; now, we have dropped out of the top 15, currently sitting at 17th place... That was one of the key factors behind the decision to relocate the Secretariat here,” explained Chavira.
Technology that Chihuahua hopes will strengthen its position
The official is in charge of managing the technological tools for the *Centinela* (Sentinel) program; he highlighted the resources currently available for combating both local delinquency and organized crime.
“There are 13 sub-command centers—which we refer to as C7 centers—equipped with Artificial Intelligence. In other words, the entire state is divided into 13 regions, and each region possesses its own command center. Additionally, there is the central state command center—the *Torre Centinela* (Sentinel Tower). We have access to over 10,000 cameras, distributed across 3,065 video-surveillance poles, 102 highway arches, and 11 checkpoints situated along the state’s highways and roads.
“Furthermore, we possess 75 drones, 25 anti-drone systems, and 40 trailers equipped with cameras that can be deployed anywhere within the state—connecting via satellite—or positioned specifically to help prevent crimes in targeted zones,” he explained.
Located on the 15th floor is the operational hub for the Center for Command, Computing, Control, Coordination, Citizen Contact, Quality, and Communications (C7), from which thousands of streets across Chihuahua’s 67 municipalities are monitored.
Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos sought to transform the *Torre Centinela* into a security operations center equipped with a network of over 10,000 cameras.
The State Police maintain a 24-hour watch; however, the National Guard and the Ministry of Defense are also stationed on this same floor. Through the coordinated efforts of federal and state forces, joint operations have been conducted to combat arms and narcotics trafficking—operations that have even garnered recognition from the federal government for the resulting increase in fentanyl seizures.
“Through the Secretariat of Public Security, we have participated in operations leading to the seizure of fentanyl and other narcotics. Specifically, the Undersecretariat for Police Deployment and the Undersecretariat for General Staff Operations have been the key entities driving this work, achieving highly successful results.” "The operation is staged here; we coordinate that joint operation... In terms of public security, what we have represents a transformation—a shift from the approach previously employed to the one currently in place; it was a complete 180-degree turn," commented Pablo Nava, Director of Operations and Emergency Management at the C7.
From a distance—even from certain areas of El Paso, Texas, in the United States—the Centinela Tower in Ciudad Juárez is clearly visible. It rises imposingly from the center of the municipality, featuring a distinctive structure designed to withstand strong winds.
It remains in the final stages of construction, and currently, only the three floors housing the C7 and the Centinela Program are operational. MILENIO requested permission to visit the 18th floor, but the request was denied. Inquiries were also made regarding the Secretariat's current stance, as well as for confirmation regarding which agencies would maintain a presence at the site.

One is Criticized for Dismantling a Lab, While Another is Defended Tooth and Nail: Maru Campos
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The Governor of Chihuahua questions the criticism directed at her administration, contrasting it with the defense of Rubén Rocha Moya—who has been implicated in alleged ties to drug trafficking.
Governor María Eugenia Campos stated that it seems strange for her administration to face criticism for dismantling a massive synthetic drug laboratory, while other public figures are defended tooth and nail.
This remark came in response to questions regarding the situation in the state of Sinaloa, specifically concerning its governor—currently on leave—Rubén Rocha Moya, whom the U.S. government has implicated in alleged ties to drug trafficking.
“I just want to make one thing very clear: one person is spoken ill of for dismantling a laboratory and for preventing drugs from reaching families—our girls and boys—while the other is defended tooth and nail,” she asserted.
Campos Galván reiterated comments she made last week, noting that it is time for the citizenry to recognize who is truly who.
Furthermore, she emphasized that the Mexican people possess a decades-long history of democratic struggles, and that the residents of Chihuahua have a clear understanding of the conduct of their elected officials.
It is worth noting that the Attorney General's Office is currently conducting an investigation into an operation in which a drug laboratory was dismantled; subsequently—hours later—two U.S. officials died in a road accident in the mountainous region.

Organized Crime Imposes Control in Michoacán: Grecia Quiroz
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Grecia Quiroz, Mayor of Uruapan, denounces that organized crime in Michoacán exercises the real power, affecting merchants and transport workers.
The Mayor of Uruapan, Grecia Quiroz, asserted that in Michoacán, real power is wielded by organized crime, arguing that the daily dynamic of violence and extortion makes it evident who truly controls the territory.
In an interview with *El País*, she affirmed that the citizenry perceives this reality firsthand, noting: “If we look at the actions taking place day-to-day involving citizens—[it is] organized] crime.” She added that sectors such as merchants and transport workers continue to operate under pressure.
She explained that this situation is reflected in acts of intimidation, stating: “When the butcher, the tortilla maker, the taxi driver, or the minibus operator report that they continue to be extorted, abducted, or intimidated, you realize that *they* are indeed organized—and *we* are not.”
The municipal president warned that the problem is exacerbated when ties exist between authorities and criminal elements, declaring:
“The moment a mayor, a governor, or a legislator has links to organized crime, that is when support for the citizenry ends; you are no longer the one governing—*they* govern through you.”
In this context, she rejected any form of agreement with criminal groups, emphasizing: “I do not need them to act as my patrons, nor to fund my campaign; I never want to make a pact with these kinds of people.” She also called for the necessary conditions to be established so she could properly carry out her public duties.
Doubts the progress made in Carlos Manzo case
Six months after the assassination of her husband—former mayor Carlos Manzo—his widow maintained that the investigations have failed to shed light on the facts, stating: “They have not gotten to the bottom of it.” She raised the possibility of a political motive, noting: “Carlos was going to be the governor of Michoacán; there are reasons to believe they wanted to get him out of the way.” She also referred to specific political figures who, she stated, ought to be investigated.
She also questioned the conduct of the authorities, declaring: “I do not see the authorities giving this the necessary attention,” and called for the investigations to be deepened.
**Grief and Security Conditions**
The mayor described the personal impact of the crime, noting: “My life has changed completely; not a single thing remains the same.”
She indicated that fear has become a part of her daily reality, stating: “I think about what would happen if the same thing happened to me—my children would be left adrift.” Nevertheless, she maintained that she would continue her public service.
Regarding her personal grieving process, she acknowledged that she has not been able to pause and process it, saying: “There hasn’t been any time to fully assimilate it.”
**Strategy Against Violence**
Quiroz explained that her approach to combating crime has defined limits, stating: “I am not going to go up into the hills—as Carlos used to do—to uncover clandestine labs or weapons caches.”
She noted that she would opt for institutional reporting rather than direct confrontation, declaring: “Of course [I will take action], but I am not going to confront them directly; I am the only thing my children have left.”
She acknowledged the presence of federal forces in the area, though she maintained that the perception of insecurity persists within the municipality.
**Political Ambitions**
The municipal president confirmed her intention to seek the governorship, stating: “Yes, I am ready.”
She asserted that her political project offers a distinct alternative, noting that “Michoacán needs something different,” and linked her aspiration to the growth of the *Movimiento del Sombrero* (The Hat Movement).
Finally, she made her participation contingent upon personal factors, declaring: “May God grant me life; if God grants me life, we will fight the battle.”

Security Reinforced on Aldama-Ojinaga Highway with 40 Additional State Police Officers
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
According to Ricardo Realivazquez Domínguez, Undersecretary of Police Deployment for the State Public Security Secretariat (SSPE), within a 10-day span—following the assignment of 40 additional officers to patrol the highway stretch running from Aldama to Ojinaga—authorities have seized six stolen vehicles (two of which were burned out) and dismantled several encampments and a ranch that criminal groups were using as temporary operational bases.
This action was taken in response to reports filed on April 22, in which seven vehicles were stolen—in separate incidents involving the use of violence—at various points along the route. Consequently, starting from that date, the permanent patrol presence of these 40 SSPE officers—specifically drawn from the SWAT unit—was added to the ongoing operations conducted by the Inter-institutional Operations Bases (BOI).
"We currently have around 40 officers deployed for this operation; however, it is important to highlight the existing coordination with the National Defense Secretariat, the National Guard, the municipal police forces of both Aldama and Ojinaga, and the State Investigation Agency," he stated in an interview with *El Heraldo de Chihuahua*, emphasizing that the reinforcement provided by these 40 officers has yielded significant results.
In this regard, he noted that among the results achieved in recent days—specifically concerning the report regarding the seven vehicles stolen at various locations and incidents along the Aldama-Ojinaga corridor—key highlights include the seizure of several vehicles reported stolen in the United States, as well as two additional burned-out vehicles, which are currently undergoing forensic testing to determine if they were linked to any criminal activity. As a result of said operation, SSPE special forces were attacked by armed men who opened fire on the officers using .50-caliber weapons. Consequently—once the state police officers managed to call for backup—they withdrew to safety.
Another highlight noted by Realivazquez Domínguez was the seizure of two encampments located in the desert region connecting Aldama with Coyame and Ojinaga; these sites were used for the temporary or permanent housing of organized crime groups. “We also have a record of weapons seizures dating back to before this recent period,” he added.
One of the most recent interventions took place on April 28, when—through inter-agency collaboration with the National Guard and the Mexican Army—authorities seized a vehicle featuring improvised armor plating, along with a firearm and tactical gear, in the locality of Chorreras, within the municipality of Aldama. During the deployment, personnel cleared 27 caltrops from the roadway, thereby allowing surveillance operations to proceed safely.
While en route, officers located a gray Dodge Ram pickup truck that appeared to have been abandoned. Upon inspection, they confirmed that the vehicle was fitted with improvised armor; inside, they discovered a long gun, a tactical vest, a magazine pouch, and live ammunition of various calibers.
Following this seizure, officers located a nearby encampment—presumably used for “spotting” (surveillance for criminal groups)—where they found provisions, clothing, and tactical footwear. The site was subsequently dismantled by security forces.
Prior to the arrival of the 40-officer reinforcement contingent, on April 10, another criminal encampment was located and dismantled—resulting in the seizure of tactical gear—by the SSPE’s Deployment Police, acting in inter-agency collaboration within the municipality of Aldama, near the junction leading to the communal land of Chorreras.
The site was pinpointed during an operation supported by a helicopter, from which the encampment was detected situated atop a hill. Subsequently, on land, agents seized 10 rifle magazines, 20 live rounds, two magazine pouches, a portable solar panel, and a portable radio charger. As a result of this discovery, an operation was deployed in Chorreras and the surrounding areas to locate and apprehend potential instigators of violence in the region.

Why Is It So Dangerous To Tell The Truth In Mexico?
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Stop for a second, because what you are about to see—there are those who would prefer it didn't exist. May 3rd: World Press Freedom Day. A day that sounds like an established right—yet in Mexico, it is lived out amidst grave danger.
Today, press freedom is commemorated in a country where telling the truth can cost you your life; where stories vanish if no one steps up to tell them.
"I want my daughter because she was admitted here, and she has to be released from here."
Disappearances, corruption, violence—realities that those in power often attempt to conceal
"Tomorrow marks three months of this corruption that kills regarding the derailment of the interoceanic train."
But when someone decides to tell the story, everything changes.
"The corruption witnessed here is truly staggering—and it was all captured on camera."
For the truth doesn’t simply appear on its own; it is investigated, it is documented, and today—more than ever—it is shared.
"They took them alive. We want them back alive."
This May 3rd isn’t just about journalists.
"The Izaguirre Ranch in Techutlán, Jalisco: it isn’t merely a criminal extermination site. It also bears signs that the very notions of truth and justice are being systematically eradicated."
It’s about everyone who chooses not to remain silent.
"Even if it’s just a tiny bone—a single fragment to hold onto—it means knowing that they are there. Why are a man and a woman so weary? They are the parents of those caught up in the reality we are currently enduring."
It’s about those who transform their pain into a public outcry.
"Maricela Escobedo had become a social activist, demanding justice from the authorities."
Press freedom is not merely a concept; it is the force that renders the truth visible.
"I came to confront the government. We do not want their dictatorship—we do not want it.”
In view of this, the truth must be told, every single day. What do you think? Without a free press, would we know everything that’s going on, or just what they want us to know?

"El Pío," the Son of "El Balta" and a Associate of Mayo Zambada, Has Been Arrested
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Federal forces arrested José Porfirio Díaz Medina alias El Pío, son of the Sinaloan drug trafficker Baltasar Díaz Vega, yesterday, Thursday. Who died in March 1988 during a shootout recorded in Mexico City, in which two judicial police officers died.
According to official information, the arrest took place in the vicinity of a food business identified as the taqueria La Pasada on the Los Mochis Topolobampo highway, in the Las Misiones residential area, in the city of Los Mochis, without any major incidents being reported.
He was wanted by Interpol. However, so far the sources consulted do not publicly detail the specific charges for which he was wanted, nor the country that would have requested international collaboration through Interpol.
After his capture, José Porfirio Díaz Medina was placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Ministry, remaining under custody in the facilities of the Attorney General's Office with headquarters in Los Mochis.
His father, Baltasar Díaz Vega, is identified as a drug trafficker during the 1980s. In journalistic archives, Díaz Vega, aka El Balta, appears linked to the historical context of Ismael El Mayo Zambada, founder of the Sinaloa cartel.
The name of Baltasar Díaz Vega has been cited in journalistic investigations about the alliances that were part of the historical configuration of the Sinaloa cartel. Rio Doce noted that, following the fragmentation of the old Guadalajara Cartel, Zambada allied with Díaz Vega, with whom he maintained a relationship of confidant and political kinship.
He was born on the El Zapote ranch in the municipality of Badiraguato. He was a cattleman and businessman, in addition to engaging in illicit activities for decades.
His story inspired the narco ballad "Se Le Peló Baltazar." This song, performed by artists such as Valentín Elizalde and groups like La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, tells the story of the episode in which Díaz Vega managed to evade the authorities when they tried to arrest him at his ranch.

Samuel García's Family Business Laundered Over a Billion: The Attorney General's Office is Already Investigating
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
More than 1 billion pesos allegedly passed through the law firm belonging to Samuel García’s family as part of a scheme that is now under investigation by the Attorney General's Office. The accusations suggest that the Governor of Nuevo León utilized this legal and tax firm—a business linked to his family—as a central mechanism to capture public funds and redirect them for his own personal benefit.
According to the allegations, money flowed out of various state agencies, public bodies, and contracting firms, subsequently passing through several intermediaries before ultimately landing in the firm's accounts. The use of intermediary companies allegedly served to facilitate the movement of funds while obscuring a direct financial trail.
Among the firm's principal shareholders are Samuel Orlando García Mascorro, the Governor's father, and Samuel Orlando García Villarreal, his half-brother. Consequently, the Governor's inner circle now finds itself at the very center of the investigation. One of the initial financial trails identifies state government payments totaling nearly 965 million pesos to *Suministros Mir*; after passing through other companies, 203 million pesos allegedly ended up in the legal and tax firm.
However, this wasn’t the only such operation. Another financial trail points to payments of 243 million pesos to *Axat Latam*, of which nearly 63 million pesos allegedly flowed back—once again—to the same family firm. Yet, the largest case appears to be linked to public works and mobility projects within Nuevo León.
In this instance, payments exceeding 5.851 billion pesos were reportedly made to *Infraestructura y Construcciones de Nuevo León*. These funds subsequently allegedly followed another corporate chain before circling back to the core of the scheme.
Later on, a portion of this money was transferred—first in a sum of 385 million pesos, followed by a second transfer of 700 million pesos—to the aforementioned firm; a fourth financial trail has also come to light.
This final route involves funds allocated to the *El Cuchillo* Aqueduct project and the *Sistema Integral para el Manejo Ecológico y Procesamiento de Desechos de Nuevo León* (Comprehensive System for Ecological Management and Waste Processing). In that specific case, payments totaling 154 million pesos ultimately resulted in transfers exceeding 77 million pesos directed toward the legal and tax firm.
According to the investigation, once the resources were consolidated, the funds were allegedly dispersed into a family trust, land, and real estate assets, involving transfers exceeding 1 billion pesos. Subsequently, a portion of these funds was reportedly sent to various jurisdictions—including the United States—with the aim of hindering their traceability and concealing their origin.
Samuel García transitioned from being one of the rising young stars of Mexican politics and a leading figure within the Movimiento Ciudadano party to becoming one of the country's most high-profile governors. His public image was carefully crafted to represent a new political generation—one with national aspirations and a strong social media presence, shared alongside Mariana Rodríguez.
Consequently, an investigation of this magnitude would not only place his administration in Nuevo León under intense pressure but could also damage his public image, jeopardize his future political ambitions, and prove to be the most significant crisis of his entire political career.
