A joint U.S.-Mexico operation last week led to the arrest of cartel leader who authorities say operated a baby trafficking ring in northern Mexico.
Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, known as "La Diabla," was arrested September 2. She is accused of having ties with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which lured vulnerable, pregnant woman to their deaths, CBS News reported. According to the network, the cartel performed illegal cesarean operations, took the babies, killed the mothers, and then harvested their organs.
