She exposed misogynist chat groups among politicos in #Oaxaca #Mexico. Sandra Domínguez, Indigenous activist, was kidnapped and executed. Family, friends blame the state, in cahoots with organized crime. Officials deny involvement. Who was responsible? latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Trump wants to amp up deportations and crack down on cartels. But Washington rolls out red carpet along border in San Diego to facilitate entry of #ElChapo kin toting boutique handbags and rolling suitcases. latimes.com/california/sto…

Participation was only about 13%, but Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo deems turnout "marvelous" for Sunday's judicial vote. Opposition calls vote a farce and the death-knell for checks and balances in #Mexico. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

“I didn’t think I would be arrested."El Diablo and the making of a narco-state in #Nayarit #Mexico. Former top lawman Edgar Veytia took cartel payoffs while overseeing murders, torture, land grabs & disappearances. Victims now seek redress in U.S. court. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

"Invaders?" Not quite. Many Mexican citizens detained by immigration agents in Los Angeles have deep U.S. roots. Half of those surveyed had been in the United States for a decade. Almost 1 in 3 had U.S.-born children. latimes.com/california/sto…
