The capture of Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda, "Mando Ricky" regional chief of C.D.N. with influence in Nuevo Laredo, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila, led to violent clashes with C.D.N. forces attacking military personnel including an attempted shooting down an army helicopter.

This communique goes out to the citizens and authorities of Nuevo Laredo. The Northeast Cartel informs the public that it is completely false that there is a curfew in the city, as has been reported on social media. 

We also categorically deny any threat to the DEA in Laredo, Texas, federal and state authorities in Mexico, or the US. The recent events in the city are the result of clashes resulting from operations carried out by the authorities. 

They don’t represent premeditated attacks against them. We call on the population to remain calm and to continue with their daily activities as usual. It is essential to avoid spreading false information that only seeks to sow fear and confusion in the community. 

We reiterate to the population that they can continue with their daily lives with peace of mind. We urge everyone not to fall for rumors that only seek to generate confusion and panic in our society. 

Sincerely, The Northeast Cartel
