A spokesman with the Ciudad Juarez prosecutors office told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Arleth Sánchez Gordillo, 4, died at a ranch in Riberas del Bravo Etapa V, a small town in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.

I had not heard of this "Mexicles" gang, apparently, they are connected to the Sinaloa Cartel, they kill people for nothing down there. This is a bad one but then, after the El Paso mass-shooting? This is just thuggery and thuggery that has gone on for some time. Pancho Villa 'might have' been a sort of thug... but that's for historians to decide.
So, I don't want to dwell on the gory nature, whatever Senator who said the Cartels should be designated as terrorists are correct. Why isn't something done? We seem to be running now, some effective tactics against them.
Some years ago, the Mexican workers who work in the factories down there, mostly women, maybe young women, they ride the small passenger vans to work. Well, whomever this scum is, while it was full of workers there in Juarez, some gunmen came in, shot some of the workers and left, absolute senseless violence. That in my mind, was certainly a terrorist attack.
Totally incredible. They just arrested in Juarez, a member of this gang for other charges,
