An undisclosed number of Mexican federal security troops have been deployed to northern Coahuila state in the wake of the shooting of the nephew of Coahuila state governor Ruben Moreira Valdes. He is also the son of former Coahuila governor Humberto Moreira Valdes, Wednesday night, according to Mexican news accounts.
According to a news report posted on the Borderland Beat website, Jose Eduardo Moreira Rodriquez, 28, was found shot to death near the village of Santa Eulalia, near the border city of Ciudad Acuna Wednesday night. Moreira Rodriquez was apparently engaged in work for the poor as regional coordinator of social programs of the Department of State Development.

Ciudad Acuna, which is less than 40 kilometers from Piedras Negras, has been the scene of a number of shootings and security incidents, which like Piedras Negras stem from a prison break in Piedras Negras September 17th.
Until the murder of Moreira Rodriquez, Mexican federal response to the numerous shootings in the area has been tepid. Much of Mexico's security in the state is concentrated in the east of the state in support of Operacion Noreste, which is itself centered in Tamaulipas state and Seguro Laguna, which is centered in La Laguna, where Torreon, Coahuila and Gomez Palacio, Durango form a sort of twin city metropoitan area.
According to various tweets and news story, including an item posted on the website of Vangardia news daily, Mexican naval infantry and Policia Federal troops arrived in the airport at Plan de Guaralupe in Ramos Arizpe municipality, near Saltillo, the state capital of Coahuila state. Other tweets have said that other federal investigatory units, characterized as elite, have been spotted in Ciudad Acuna, barely 24 hours after the murder of Moreira Rodriquez.

ReplyDeleteSo far Acuna has not seen the level of violence rampant in Piedras and other parts of Mexico. Even so, it is a ghost town with most of the businesses on the main street closed. More reporting of the situation in Acuna would be helpful to those who live and travel there.
DEBERIAN MATAR A SERVIDORES PUBLICOS PRIISTAS MAS SEGUIDO, PORQUE SOLO ASI HACEN LAS PRIEBAS DE CONFIANZA QUE LES DEBERIAN DE HACER A LOS POLICIAS, PORQUE SI SON PERSONAS COMUNES Y CORRIENTES LAS AUTORIDADES NO ESTAN NI PARA ATENDER A LOS FAMILIARES DE LAS VICTIMAS.

ReplyDeleteBeen coming here regularly since 1985 and have lived here since 2012. Things have gotten progressively worse here when it comes to cops and criminals. Life is cheap here. The average hired assassin gets around 10,000 pesos. Some get more, and many more get much less. You got the "new group" spreading and spreading strong. They have devaluated the price of life substantially. They come to take out the trash but sometimes leave behind spoiled more stinky trash. They are killing the local dealers by micromanaging from production to street user here in Mexico and enforcing strict price control at all levels. Estadal Police are on the same team. Often when they arrest someone for sales, that person may pay, and/or agree to sell for them to remain free and living slightly over the poverty level. Estatal Police are responsible for more deaths than any other group in Mexico. Often they are the ones doing most of the killing for the cartels, but they do it under the water. They are the biggest contributor to Mexico's slipping down the charts on Human Rights and general saftey issues. The best thing Mexico could do would be to eliminate the entire department. There are talks of this but I am not sure of the validity. I have had more than 15 personal friends be killed in the last 4 years and know what I am talking about. Mexico is generally safe for tourists as both law enforcement and the cartels welcome the money and generally do take anyone out that targets the tourists.
