· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexican authorities arrested five alleged members of a criminal faction linked to the group 'La Nueva Empresa' in the western state of Jalisco, dedicated to human trafficking from the border city of Ciudad Juárez to the United States, among other crimes, federal sources reported on Friday. Among those arrested is Ana Florella Fragoso Ramos, known as 'La Tía' or 'Flor', identified by authorities as the leader of the faction. Also arrested were Gilberto Sosa Valles, known as 'El Loco'; Martha Samara Olvera de Anda, known as 'La Fresa'; José de Jesús Rodríguez Diego; and Mayra Saraí Olvera de Anda. In Jalisco, elements from @SEMAR_mx, @SSPCMexico, and @FGRMexico executed three search warrants in Tonalá and Zapopan, where they detained five individuals, including Ana 'N', identified as the leader of a criminal cell. The arrests occurred during a joint operation involving the Navy Secretariat (Semar), the Attorney General's Office (FGR), and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), all part of Mexico's Security Cabinet. According to sources, the five detainees are part of a faction associated with 'La Nueva Empresa' linked to drug trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, and human trafficking from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, to the United States. FGR investigations indicate that the organization primarily used tunnels in this border city to transport migrants irregularly into U.S. territory.
