Two narcomantas — large banners or signs bearing messages from drug cartels — attributed to the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) were displayed in Ensenada, Baja California, during the weekend targeting state governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda with accusations of tolerating extortion in the fishing sector.
In both banners, Ávila Olmeda is accused of allegedly allowing extortion against the fishing sector and its workers. It specifically names Arturo Alejandro Hernández Medina, better known as "El Tury," who is said to be linked to "Los Aquiles" of the Sinaloa Cartel. The messages also addressed Vice Admiral Daniel Escobedo of the Mexican Navy's Second Naval Region, urging him to intervene if the governor does not take action.
