Officers from the Agency of Criminal Investigation for the state of Sonora last night arrested one person and rescued two hostages found bound and gagged in a white ute in the town of Agua Prieta.

Rhonita Maria Miller, 31, and four of her children including 12-year-old Howard Jacob Miller, Krystal Bellaine Miller, 10; and eight-month-old twins Titus Alvin Miller and Tiana Gricel Miller were found shot dead in a burned out, bullet ridden SUV near the town of Bavispe. Mexican Security Minister Alfonso Durazo and US President Donald Trump have suggested the families were caught in the crossfire as two rival cartels shot at each other, or mistook the victims’ SUVs for a rival gang’s convoy.

Mr LeBaron said an organised crime group issued “a kind of threat” in a series of calls to the community several months ago “but they were not going to bother us anymore and now they shot us with 3 families …” Mr LeBaron said his relatives had a long and violent history with the cartels since resettling in the Mexican enclave of Sonora following a split with the Mormon church in Utah decades earlier

Hundreds attend funerals of Mexico Mormon massacre victimsAt least 1000 visitors descended on the town of La Mora to pay their respects to the nine US women and children slaughtered by Mexican cartel members in a horrific mass shooting.

He started with indecent assault at age 12 and graduated to rape at 16. So where were the consequences?A disturbing pattern has emerged in terms of how Australian society understands and responds to intractable bad behaviour. I agree with severe consequences for offenders. Especially repeat offenders. Likewise, there should be serious consequences for anyone the lies about sexual assault or rape. At the moment they get off lightly. Just waiting for all the do-gooders and bleeding hearts to start tweeting about how the poor little bastard has been disadvantaged in some way... Here’s an idea... Lock him up... and charge his parents for lack of care and responsibility. Off with his nuts!

Who are the Mexican drug cartels and why are they so deadly?Explainer | They may be glamorous on TV but, for some Mexicans, they are also part of everyday life. What are the Mexican drug cartels and how deadly are they? The author did not mention that the weapons that arm the cartels mostly come from the US. If the US gov really wanted to help, they could ban assault weapons in their southern states With all due respect, this is a woefully inaccurate piece of work. I know this world intimately. This article somehow misinforms more than it informs. They say didn't work being hard on them before but that's because too many are corrupt there and give them inside knowledge of when raids take place. They need to listen to trump and allow full military force using sophisticated weopons to eliminate these scum.
