US Intel Leads To Capture Of Cartel-Linked Baby Trafficking, Organ Harvesting Ringleader

U.S. intelligence aided in the capture of an alleged female ringleader of a cartel-linked baby trafficking and organ harvesting network, officials announced Wednesday.

The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), provided intelligence that supported the arrest of Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, also known as “La Diabla,” according to an agency press release. Aguilar’s network lured pregnant women to remote locations, forced cesarean procedures, harvested organs from the mothers and sold the babies to couples in the U.S. for up to 250,000 pesos (roughly $14,000).

“This is one example of what terrorist cartels will do to diversify their revenue streams and finance operations,” NCTC Director Joe Kent said in a statement. “NCTC delivered critical intelligence on ‘La Diabla’s’ location and developed comprehensive analysis that enabled U.S. and Mexican law enforcement partners to take action. I am proud of our team’s ability to work with our forward-deployed U.S. partners and Mexican law enforcement to stop these horrific acts.”

Such a wonderful woman, 🤔maybe she should donate her organs to people in need who are more advantageous to society……..oh she needn’t be dead first, or even under anasthesia.

I'm guessing West Coast, so assuming cashless bail and probation here.
