43 Mexican Students

A former Mexican police officer wanted in connection with the mass killing of 43 education students in the town of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, in 2014, tried to sneak into New Mexico last month. U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested him this week and

The parents of 43 education students from a poor rural town in Mexico that were kidnapped by corrupt police forces and turned over to cartel members who likely killed them, are asking the United States for help.

Mexican news outlets quoting whistle blowers in the Mexican State of Guerrero have reported the discovery of 19 bodies in a mass grave and another with 22 bodies. The Governor’s office in Guerrero has denied the discovery and issued a statement claiming that the information was false and that federal officials have not notified him of their searches.

A Mexican cartel hit man has killed and disposed of the bodies of more than 30 individuals in that country and he is not sorry. The hit man’s logic is that the victim’s were in fact evil who would hurt innocents and the government would not do anything to protect them.

Mexican authorities have announced the capture of a drug cartel lieutenant who allegedly served as the key players in the disappearance and likely murder of 43 students from the rural town of Ayotzinapa.

A activist executed in Mexico led the search for ten months for the 43 missing students in Mexico. Their disappearance and presumed murder has been linked to drug gangs and corrupt government officials. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have dedicated themselves to finding evidence of what happened to these students.

Mass graves continue to turn up as Mexico continues to deal with its image of lawlessness. News outlets have begun to focus on this side-effect of out of control cartel violence the increasing number of clandestine mass graves nationwide.

What started off as a peaceful protest by the relatives of 43 education students who were kidnapped by police in Mexico and likely murdered by drug cartels turned into a violent confrontation. Protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement causing one police officer to catch on fire.

In a surprising turn of events, a Mexican federal court has dismissed some of the charges filed against the former First Lady of the town of Iguala. She is believed to have been one of the masterminds in the kidnapping and execution of 43 education students last year.
