Border Patrol finds 31 immigrants in a ( one bedroom apt)

U.S. Border Patrol agents say they found 31 immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally hiding in a single apartment in a small town on the Texas-Mexico border.

The Border Patrol said Wednesday that those arrested included immigrants from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Agents also arrested a Mexican woman they say was the caretaker of the apartment.

Also Wednesday, the Border Patrol said 10 undocumented immigrants were hidden behind a fake wall inside a commercial truck at a checkpoint in Falfurrias, about 90 miles north of the border. Agents arrested the driver, who was not identified.

Border crossings of children and family members in particular have spiked in recent months. Experts blame gang violence in Central America for driving citizens north at numbers that are approaching last summer's surge.

Four Chilean Cops Indicted for Torturing Teen Protester

SANTIAGO – Four Chilean police were charged Monday with violently attacking a 14-year-old boy during a 2014 student demonstration in downtown Santiago.

The four cops were charged with the crime of torturing the student from the National Barros Arana Boarding School when he was taking part in a protest on March 28, 2014.

Prosecutors said the youth was abusively attacked by the police, after first being searched.

When the student opposed the search, he was knocked around by four members of the Carabineros, Chile’s militarized national police – a lieutenant, two sergeants and a corporal.

According to the medical report, the youth suffered injuries to the face, head and neck.

The cops on trial are Lt. Juan Valdivia Cisterna, Sgts. Edgardo Ortega Ahumada and Patricio Alarcon Vasquez, and Cpl. Geraldine Haarmann Ruiz.

The four police are barred from leaving the country and cannot approach the victim, who remains under psychological care “following the brutal attack he suffered at the hands of the police force,” the indictment says.

The World Organization Against Torture said in 2013 that the number of torture and mistreatment cases as part of the criminalization of social protest in Chile “is worrying.”

Link Found between Mexican Mayor’s Killing and Cartel Dispute

MEXICO CITY – The murder of Gisela Mota, mayor of the central Mexican city of Temixco, is linked to a dispute between rival gangs for control of police departments ahead of the implementation of a unified command system, Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez said.

“In the past few weeks, the threats increased” against mayors who supported having their local departments assigned to a unified command under the Morelos state police, the governor told Radio Formula.

The threats were made by the Los Rojos and Guerreros Unidos gangs, which have been fighting for control of the state and “are determined to take advantage of this political situation (the start of the terms of several mayors) and again take, like before, control of the police,” Ramirez said.

The disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School students on Sept. 26, 2014, in Iguala, a city in neighboring Guerrero state, has been linked to the gang war.

The official version of events, which has been challenged by relatives of the victims, is that Iguala municipal police officers detained the students and then handed them over to Guerreros Unidos members, who thought they belonged to Los Rojos, murdered them and burned the bodies.

The 33-year-old Mota was gunned down in front of her family last Saturday by hitmen who burst into her house a day after she was sworn in as mayor.

“It’s with the monitoring of the (security) cameras that (the assailants) are spotted trying to get away and they are found around some paths heading toward the Temixco airport, and that’s where the police engaged them” in a shootout, said the governor, a member of the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD.

Two of the suspects, one identified as a gang boss with a prior criminal record in Guerrero and Mexico states, were killed, Ramirez said.

“He was a very important hitman in the Los Rojos group and this same cell was the one that dumped a mutilated body in front of the state police offices on Dec. 29 in an act of provocation,” the governor said.

Three suspects have been arrested in the case – a minor, an 18-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman – and more arrests will likely be made, Ramirez said.

Ramirez signed an executive order imposing a unified police command in 15 cities that had been resisting the policy on Sunday.

Cuernavaca, the capital of Morelos, has refused to replace its local police department with a unified state command and Mayor Cuauhtemoc Blanco has clashed with the governor over the policy
