Hermosillo
The former commander of the Investigative State Police Francisco Javier Angulo was gunned down when he was traveling from Ciudad Obregón to the rural area of the municipality of Cajeme yesterday morning.
According to the police report, the events occurred around 10:00 am, on Calle Meridiano between 600 and 700 avenue in the Yaqui Valley, when it was traveling from the north to the south aboard a van truck, Durango line, of recent model and white color.
Witnesses of the armed attack affirm that the vehicle presented a mechanical failure and when it was stopped to review it, the police command was riddled with bullets by several subjects who later escaped.
The victim had extensive experience in public security agencies in Sonora, was commander of the State Judicial, State Investigative Police and most recently Group Chief in the Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigation, where he retired.
Recently, Francisco Javier Angulo had submitted his registration as an applicant to the Municipal Public Security Bureau of Hermosillo.
The victim was included in the final list of 61 candidates for municipal commissioner, composed of 52 men and nine women who completed the registration or presented all the necessary requirements to be considered for the position.
The crime scene was cordoned off by experts from the Attorney General's Office in Sonora and elements of the Ministry of National Defense, for the gathering of evidence; while police corporations of the three levels of government implemented an operation to find those responsible for this armed attack.
With this intentional homicide there are now 29 this month in Cajeme, where for several months the organized crime groups wage a struggle for the area that have turned this municipality into one of the 50 most violent in the country.

Faith leaders protest at Nogales Border Patrol Station

Nearly 100 faith leaders from 15 different states prayed and protested Tuesday outside the Nogales Border Patrol Station, where they decried the separation of migrant families and what they characterized as the militarization of the border.
"We believe in welcoming our neighbor, loving our neighbor as ourselves and welcoming the sojourner in our midst and so that's why we're out here today," said the Rev. Noel Andersen of Church World Service in Washington, D.C.
The protesters, representing the United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian and United Methodist churches, among others, came from as far away as Iowa, Ohio, Massachusetts and Maine, and as nearby as Arizona and New Mexico. They held signs bearing slogans such as "Revitalize, not militarize border communities," "No more separating families" and "Reunite families now," and Rev. Hannah Bonner of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Tucson led them in a chant of "All children are God's children."
On June 20, in the midst of fierce public outcry, President Trump signed an executive order to stop his administration's policy of separating children and parents caught illegally crossing the border. But Andersen said it's still important to speak out against the practice.
"He only signed that because of the public pressure, and there's still, the last I heard, around 500 families that aren't reunited," he said. "So we have to keep up that public pressure to reunite those families, but also to make sure similar policies don't continue."
Andersen added that the group was also protesting the administration's zero-tolerance policy, which calls for criminal prosecution of all undocumented border-crossers, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions' tightening of asylum laws to exclude most people fleeing domestic or gang violence.
Leaders at the Border Patrol Station came out of the compound's gates to observe, but not interact, with the protesters gathered on the opposite side of the street. Kevin Hecht, deputy patrol agent in charge at station, said he was not authorized to comment on the protest.
Nogales Police Department call logs show that the Border Patrol called at 4:07 p.m. Tuesday to request assistance dealing with protesters who were blocking the roadway. However, a follow-up call from a responding NPD officer at 4:16 p.m. said the protesters were on the side of the road.

Travel advisory lists no-go areas in Nogales, Sonora

https://www.nogalesinternational.com/news/travel-advisory-lists-no-go-areas-in-nogales-sonora/article_0905714e-aa4d-11e8-856c-9b9d8d97d01f.html
The U.S. State Department's new travel advisory for Mexico maintains a "reconsider travel" rating for Sonora, and shares specific guidelines for its employees in Nogales, Sonora.
The advisory, issued Aug. 22, advises that U.S. citizens reconsider travel to Sonora due to crime, though it notes that "northern Sonora experiences much lower levels of crime than cities closer to Sinaloa and other parts of Mexico" – the same recommendation and caveat included in a travel advisory issued on Jan. 10.
The new advisory also shares the specific guidelines the State Department gives its own employees for travel in each state. For example, government employees are allowed to travel to Puerto Peñasco from Nogales on Highway 2 through Caborca, and to Hermosillo via Highway 15, but only during daylight hours.
However, all travel by U.S. government employees is prohibited to San Carlos, Guaymas, Empalme and points south of Hermosillo via Highway 15. The triangular region west of the Mariposa Port of Entry, east of Sonoyta and north of Altar, is also off limits.
In addition, the advisory notes that U.S. government employees in Nogales, Sonora are not allowed to go to the residential neighborhoods to the east of Plutarco Elias Calles (e.g. Buenos Aires) or an area on the west side of the city north of Avenida Instituto Tecnológico and between the periferico (Bulevar Luis Donaldo Colosio) and the Corredor Fiscal
In addition, U.S. government employees are not permitted to use taxi services in Nogales, Sonora, though bus travel is permitted.
"Movement around the city after dark is by vehicle only," the advisory says, adding: "U.S. government employees should avoid El Centro and all night clubs after 10 p.m."

El excomandante de la Policía Estatal Investigadora Francisco Javier Angulo fue acribillado a balazos cuando transitaba desde Ciudad Obregón hacia la zona rural del municipio de Cajeme ayer por la mañana.
Según el parte policiaco, los hechos ocurrieron alrededor de las 10:00 horas, en calle Meridiano entre avenida 600 y 700 del Valle del Yaqui, cuando transitaba del norte hacia el sur a bordo de una camioneta tipo vagoneta, línea Durango, de modelo reciente y color blanco.
Testigos del ataque armado afirman que el vehículo presentó una falla mecánica y cuando se bajó a revisarla, el mando policial fue acribillado a balazos por varios sujetos que luego escaparon.
La víctima tenía amplia trayectoria en agencias de seguridad pública en Sonora, fue comandante de la Judicial del Estado, en la Policía Estatal Investigadora y más recientemente Jefe de Grupo en la Agencia Ministerial de Investigación Criminal, donde obtuvo su jubilación.
Recientemente, Francisco Javier Angulo había presentado su registro como aspirante a la Comisaría de Seguridad Pública Municipal de Hermosillo.
La víctima figuraba en la terna final de 61 aspirantes a comisario municipal, integrada por 52 hombres y nueve mujeres que completaron el registro o presentaron todos los requisitos necesarios para ser considerados para el cargo.
La escena del crimen fue acordonada por peritos de la Fiscalía General de Justicia en Sonora y elementos de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, para el levantamiento de pruebas; mientras que corporaciones policiacas de los tres niveles de gobierno implementaron un operativo para dar con los responsables de este ataque armado.
Con este homicidio doloso suman 29 en el presente mes en Cajeme, donde desde hace varios meses los grupos de la delincuencia organizada libran una lucha por la plaza que han convertido a este municipio en uno de los 50 más violentos del país.
