As part of President Claudia Sheinbaum's "100 Day Plan" to contain the waves of violence that have scourged parts of northern Mexico, the Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) secured the arrest of a major generator of violence in Tijuana with alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.
Ángel "N," also known as "El Tony" is the latest high-profile cartel member arrested by Mexican authorities in recent weeks. He was captured along with three other gang members on Nov. 12 in the neighborhood of El Pípila, located less than 15 miles east of Tijuana. Authorities that took part in the operation that targeted a safe house used by the gang also seized two firearms, three vehicles, two cartridges and 75 bullets.
