Order to Kill 43 Mexican Students Came from Chicago, Report Reveals
[Breitbart] One of Mexico’s most controversial mass killings where 43 students headed to a protest were kidnapped by police and cartel allies took a turn in recent days. New evidence indicates the order to kill and dispose of their remains came from drug lords in Chicago.

The mass killing took place in 2014 in Guerrero, when a group of students stole buses on their way to a protest. At the time, Mexico’s government claimed that 43 students had been kidnapped by police and turned over to cartel members to be killed and incinerated in a landfill near the town of Cocula. That version of events became known as the Historic Truth. Shortly after, questions arose about the validity of the story when forensic evidence was reviewed by international experts.

Last week, the case made headlines after Mexico’s Undersecretary for Human Rights Alejandro Encinas released a report claiming the massacre was a “crime of state” and officials at the highest levels attempted cover-ups. Days after the release of the report, authorities arrested the former Attorney General of Mexico, Jose Murillo Karam, for his role in creating the Historic Truth and torturing suspects.

New information detailed in Encinas’ report revealed that U.S. authorities had tapped phones and intercepted messages belonging to brothers José Ángel Casarrubias Salgado and Adan “El Tomate” Cassarrubias Salgado, living in Chicago. According to Milenio, those surveillance efforts led to the discovery that the kill order originated in Illinois.

The U.S. Government tapped the lines to investigate heroin smuggling schemes between Chicago and Guerrero. The two brothers, along with a third in Mexico (Sidronio Casarrubias Salgado), and other relatives were the leaders of Guerreros Unidos, a splinter of the Familia Michoacana Cartel.

The phone messages and conversations reportedly revealed the brothers’ beliefs that rivals had infiltrated the students and were using the buses to smuggle themselves into their territory.

The brothers relayed to their henchmen in Mexico to get rid of the evidence. According to Milenio, since there were too many students, a cartel lieutenant known as “El Chucky” had his men use machetes to dismember the bodies and place them into bags. El Chucky then had each cell of gunmen take bags and dispose of the remains.

#1 So, like the Boston office, the FBI sat on the sidelines listening in and doing nothing. Just another checkbox why the place needs to be scrubbed down to the foundation.

#3 the order to kill and dispose of their remains came from drug lords in Chicago

The student abductions took place on September 26, 2014.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced his resignation on September 25, 2014, citing 'personal reasons'.

#4 For those of us keeping score, do these 43 go on Chicago's scorecard?

#6 /\ It's a control measure with handsome cartel dividends.

Urban America and the sanctuary cities have no other industries. No brick and mortar overhead. It's the Big Pharma of the underrepresented. The affected populations eventually eliminate themselves, well short of Full Retirement Age (FRA). Hence the need for open borders, drug mules, and replacement people,

See 'Planned Parenthood' for other examples of structured population reduction.

BTW, it's not just 'urban America.'

#7 Yes. And the money moving through the world of crime and the black market is not untaxed. It's just taxed differently.

#10 Street gangs in Chicago have veto over local politicians. They hold special meet-and-greet sessions for the gangs to talk to pols and decide if they approve or not.

These murders are a direct result of Chicago corruption. What a shame no one has the guts to take it on.

#11 Chicago has not contributed anything of positive value to the greater American project in some time. Trying to rehabilitate it is a complete waste of time and resources.

The same can be said for pretty much all the urban areas of Illinois.

#14 Murcek, what other urban areas? Peoria isn't that bad, Quad Cities isn't that bad. East St. Louis is as bad, but it's primarily a St. Louis problem. Champaign-Urbana, Normal -- do they count as urban?

Illinois is a state effectively run by a single urban region, and down-state doesn't have the political power to reign-in Chicagoland.

Hell probably sold them the weapons under Fast and Furious. And a stable Mexico works against Democrat interests.

#16 Chicago, where have I seen that pedigree in the biography of a major political figure and his mentor? Its just on the tip of my tongue, and it is certain that it involved "community organizing" at the grass-roots, street level where this kind of corruption flourishes.
