Mexican Government Impotent complicit as Gulf Cartel Spreads Terror Through Border State Highways
2023-11-03
[Breitbart] Mexico’s government remains impotent as the Gulf Cartel continues to spread terror through highways in the border state of Tamaulipas. Either for political beliefs or because of widespread corruption, local, state, and federal forces left residents to their fate as convoys of cartel gunmen freely roamed the state highways, clashing with rivals. In addition to the fighting, gunmen have also been carrying out carjackings, kidnappings, and other crimes targeting innocent civilians.

State government officials continue to claim that the violence in Tamaulipas is due to isolated incidents and that crime continues to decrease. Claims to the contrary are brushed off as attacks from political rivals. However, locals claim that is a complete lie.

One of the chief complaints is the lack of police and military patrol along the state highways that connect main cities such as Ciudad Victoria, Matamoros, Reynosa, and San Fernando. It is in those areas that factions of the Gulf Cartel have been waging a fierce turf war with minimal interference from authorities.
