EXCLUSIVE: Mexican Cops Turn Migrants Over to Gulf Cartel, Sources Say

Law enforcement officials in the border state of Tamaulipas are rescuing kidnapped migrants–only to sell them back to cartel-tied human smugglers for profit. Smugglers in Reynosa extort the families of Central American migrants, forcing them to wire a ransom.

Breitbart Texas spoke with U.S. law enforcement sources in Mexico, plus military officials in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon about the working relationship between the Gulf Cartel and police. The sources say the practice surfaced after the Gulf Cartel sought to make a profit from the current immigration crisis.

The state’s law enforcement communications center routinely receives calls about human smuggling stash houses and kidnapped migrants. Those calls are then routed to Tamaulipas State Police to investigate and raid the houses. However, the law enforcement sources revealed that in some cases, officers turn the “rescued” migrants over to the Gulf Cartel or a rival faction.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Around 400 migrants expelled from the United States have camped out in a plaza in the dangerous Mexican border city of Reynosa, the aid group Doctors Without Borders said Thursday.

The group said some migrants have disappeared and others are living in poor conditions at the plaza in Reynosa, which is plagued by drug cartels.

The plaza is close to the border bridge where most of the migrants were expelled under pandemic-related powers known as “Title 42.” Many are sleeping in a small kiosk at the plaza, without water supplies or health services, the group said.

HIDALGO, Texas (Border Report) — A tent encampment in the crime-ridden Mexican border city of Reynosa has grown to over 700 asylum-seeking migrants, and local nonprofits north and south are trying to help house and move the refugees.

The sudden swell in numbers at the migrant camp — mostly Central Americans who had crossed into South Texas since President Joe Biden took office — indicates that U.S. border agents are expelling many more migrants and families back to Mexico than the administration had at first.

Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, told Border Report on Monday that they were working to move them to a designated area in an effort to “keep them out of harm’s way.”
