How the drug cartels are ‘diversifying’ into baby-trafficking
Many of the women were lured with promises of easy cash jobs during the final months of pregnancy
On the morning of September 2, in Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexican law enforcement raided a remote safehouse and uncovered one of the most grotesque cartel operations they had ever encountered. They found not just the usual drugs but rudimentary medical equipment and bloodstained tarps. The evidence confirmed what many investigators had suspected but couldn’t prove: that growing US demand has created a black market in human babies. Police arrested a brutal female gangster, Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, who was allegedly running an operation that procured these babies, luring in young mothers and performing illegal C-sections. On the streets they call her La Diabla: the She-Devil.
For months, the US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) had tracked La Diabla’s movements. The dossier they compiled before the raid described a woman who was an expert at seeking out impoverished, pregnant girls and reeling them in with promises of work or money. For the girls in La Diabla’s grip, the promises proved empty. The babies were cut from the young mothers’ bodies and sold for as much as 250,000 pesos ($14,000) to American buyers in El Paso, Texas. It has been alleged that many of the girls did not survive the ordeal and their organs became another product to be sold.
This seems almost too macabre to be true, but an account I heard from the mother of one victim persuaded me that the worst can and does happen. I talked to her in a cramped car in Chihuahua state as she clutched a rosary. “My daughter was a good person, she never wronged anybody… she was so excited to have her baby, investigators asked me if my daughter wanted to sell her baby, but that wasn’t the case. She was already buying everything for her son, and telling her daughter how she was going to be a big sister.”
Her voice broke as she described searching police stations, hospitals, morgues – any place that might give her answers after her daughter went missing. It was only after La Diabla’s arrest that investigators confirmed that her daughter had been one of La Diabla’s alleged victims, lured with the promise of money for prenatal care. In the end she was butchered for profit.
It would be one thing if La Diabla were a horrific anomaly but such stories echo across Mexico’s northern states, where women vanish daily into the machinery of organized crime. For years, Juárez has been synonymous with femicide, the killings of women often dismissed as collateral damage in cartel wars. La Diabla’s alleged operation is only the latest twist in the awful story.
Many of the women who fell into her operation were offered promises of easy cash jobs during the final months of pregnancy, others with invitations to make new friends or meet a man interested in taking them on a date. One woman told me she narrowly escaped La Diabla’s network. She had been promised simple, legal work for quick pay in Juárez, nothing that seemed suspicious at first. “My friend had been working with people in Juárez and making money, so I guess she told them to contact me. Over messages the guy made it seem like a good deal and I wouldn’t have to stay long. They said they wanted to help me because I’m pregnant and they kept telling me how much money I would make with them.”

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

FBI Director Kash Patel says bureau is 'on the verge' of unmasking funding, command structure behind Antifa terror group
FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the federal agency is “on the verge” of unmasking the intricate funding sources and command structure behind Antifa, a decentralized left-wing terrorist organization responsible for civil unrest and extreme acts of violence against political enemies
Speaking to Just the News, Patel said that “there are indications that support for anti-American radical groups is coming from America’s enemies overseas,” and that the bureau is “following the money.”
Furthermore, Patel indicated that funding is also coming from US nonprofits with IRS tax-exempt status. Investigations have been launched.
“Look, the thing I can tell you is that money doesn’t lie, and the thing we’re doing at the FBI is following the money,” Patel explained. “And thanks to President Trump, we now have Antifa designated, rightfully so, as a domestic terror organization. And we have had multiple investigations going on.”
Patel said the investigations include “mapping out the money,” and that the agency is using assistance from the independent journalists and influencers that presented at the recent White House Antifa roundtable event “because they’re the ones on the ground, getting us ground level intelligence, because law enforcement isn’t able to enter these spaces, and these people are brave enough to do it.”

Florida mayor predicts 'substantial exodus' of NYC businesses if Mamdani wins
Boca Raton’s Republican mayor Scott Singer told Fox News Digital that if socialist Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayor’s race next month, Florida could see a fresh wave of relocated businesses.
"The threat of people leaving high tax, high crime jurisdictions like New York and other places is real," Singer told Fox News Digital.
"It's been happening for years, and Boca Raton has been the beneficiary of a lot of businesses bringing their corporate headquarters and high-paying jobs here. I think the threat is even more real. People are already preparing to leave before a Mamdani election and if the polls hold as they expect in the next few weeks, we're going to see a lot more people looking to bring their businesses here and create jobs in Boca Raton."
Mamdani’s socialist economic policies, along with his adoption of communist talking points like "seizing the means of production" and abolishing private property, have been a major focus for his critics who have warned his victory would negatively affect businesses in New York City, the financial capital of the world.

You're correct. Thats my understanding also. Its all about feeding his ego.
But the point is how did it go from $200M to $350M in just a few months and where is all the money going?
You understand the concept of buying favors right?

Trump Reopens Alaska's Arctic Refuge to Oil and Gas Drilling
The Trump administration has moved to reopen the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas drilling, reversing one of President Biden’s signature environmental restrictions and cementing Alaska’s return to the energy map.
The Interior Department said Thursday it will restore the full 1.5-million-acre Coastal Plain to leasing, along with reinstating previously canceled leases held by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority. The decision marks the most aggressive push yet to expand exploration in Alaska’s far north since the original Trump-era lease sale in 2021.
