Mexican Government Impotent as Gulf Cartel Spreads Terror Through Border State Highways

Mexico’s government remains impotent as the Gulf Cartel continues to spread terror through highways in the border state of Tamaulipas. Either for political beliefs or because of widespread corruption, local, state, and federal forces left residents to their fate as convoys of cartel gunmen freely roamed the state highways, clashing with rivals. In addition to the fighting, gunmen have also been carrying out carjackings, kidnappings, and other crimes targeting innocent civilians.
