The bullet-ridden bodies of four people including the co-founder of a violent drug cartel were found early Monday on a highway in western Mexico, authorities said.

Since his highly publicized escape from a maximum-security Mexican prison in July, it has been assumed that notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera has once again taken the reigns of the powerful Sinaloa cartel. By his side for years has been Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, who has so far escaped arrest. However, both drug lords are estimated to be in their early sixties, which means successors must be designated and groomed. The question is, will any of El Mayo’s four sons—known as “Los Mayitos”—fit this bill?

Mexican drug cartels control drug trafficking in multiple cities throughout the Southwest and continue to spread over the entire nation, a DEA report reveals.

The drug cartels’ war on media continues to escalate with journalists being targeted in Mexico City. Being a journalist in Mexico that brings attention to drug trade and other forms of organized crime has routinely been regarded as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

Mexican drug dealers really do believe in going out with a bang, a bang for their buck that is.

Mexican officials announced the arrest of one of Mexico’s top cartel bosses. Omar “Z-42” Treviño Morales is the head of the Los Zetas drug cartel. The officials told Breitbart Texas that Los Zetas leader, Omar “Z-42” Treviño Morales was captured

Federal agents discovered an underground tunnel crossing the border into Mexico from Naco, Arizona on Tuesday as part of an investigation after a traffic stop that yielded over two tons of marijuana, with a value of approximately $3 million.

Breitbart Texas is now working with citizen journalists who are willing to report on cartel activity and public corruption in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, immediately south of the Texas border. The citizen journalists’ reports will be published in English and in Spanish. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles will help bring attention to the level of violence and corruption along the U.S.-Mexico border. The truth and realities of the region will be on full display for citizens of the U.S. and Mexico.

A bipartisan delegation of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) was at Anzalduras Park on the Rio Grande border on Saturday. Breitbart Texas was there when Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI), ranking member Tom Carper (D-DE), and committee member Ben Sasse (R-NE), finished their Rio Grande tour of the war-torn region near Reynosa and Matamoros.

Mexico’s drug war was completely rocked in February 2014 after news broke of the arrest of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, the notorious long-time head of the Sinaloa cartel and arguably the most wanted man in the Western Hemisphere. But despite the U.S. government’s deep desire to prosecute and incarcerate Guzmán in the United States, Mexico’s attorney general announced the kingpin would not be extradited.

A former U.S. federal agent tasked with investigating cartel-corrupted law enforcement on the Texas border will spend one year and one day in prison for falsifying investigations.
