Gunmen kill family of Mexican marine who died in drug war shootout
Speculation focuses on a possible revenge attack ordered by allies of Arturo Beltran Leyva, a top drug lord slain in the gun battle with authorities. The victims include the marine's mother.

Gunmen early today killed the mother and three other relatives of a marine who died in the shootout last week that claimed the life of one of Mexico's top drug lords, authorities said.
The attackers burst into the family home in the state of Tabasco shortly after midnight, shooting the marine's mother, sister, brother and an aunt, the state prosecutor's office said.
Speculation centered on the possibility that the attack was a revenge hit ordered by allies of the slain drug trafficker, Arturo Beltran Leyva, and intended as a chilling message to the Mexican military.
President Felipe Calderon condemned the "cowardly" murders, which he said showed a complete "lack of scruples" by criminal gangs.
Beltran Leyva, head of a major narcotics trafficking organization, was killed along with six of his gunmen in an intense Dec. 16 shootout with members of Mexico's navy special forces. One marine, Melquisedec Angulo Cordova, died in the operation.
Angulo Cordova was buried Monday, with his family and numerous navy officers in attendance. He was hailed a hero and received the highest honors the state could offer. His mother, Irma Cordova, received a folded flag. Hours later, she too was dead.
Prosecutors in Tabasco said the gunmen converged on the family home in at least three vehicles and fled after shooting the family. No suspects have been arrested.
The mother died of a single shot, while the sister had seven bullet wounds, prosecutors said.

SURGE IN PROSECUTION OF ILLEGALS' CRIMES - What If We Just Kept Them Out To Begin With?

Immigration Enforcement Fuels Rise in U.S. Cases
By JOHN SCHWARTZ
Federal prosecutions reached a record high in the 2009 fiscal year, with the surge driven by a sharp increase in cases filed against immigration violators.
The 169,612 federal prosecutions were a jump of nearly 9 percent from the previous year, according to Department of Justice data analyzed by a research center at Syracuse University in a new report. Immigration prosecutions were up nearly 16 percent, and made up more than half of all criminal cases brought by the federal government, the report said.
Much of the spike, immigration experts say, arises from Bush administration efforts to increase immigration enforcement and to speed prosecutions. The administration greatly increased the number of Border Patrol agents and prosecutors, and also introduced a program known as Operation Streamline that relied on large-scale processing of plea deals in immigrant cases in some parts of the country.
The relatively simple cases have become the low-hanging fruit of the federal legal system: Immigration prosecutions, from inception to court disposal, are lightning quick, according to the report. While white-collar prosecutions take an average of 460 days and narcotics cases take 333, the immigration cases are typically disposed of in 2 days.
And while federal prosecutors decline to prosecute about half of the white-collar cases that are referred to them by law enforcement agencies, they prosecute 97 percent of the immigration cases, according to the Syracuse group.
The speed-up in federal immigration prosecutions, however, has run afoul of the federal courts presiding over Arizona, which processed more than 22,000 immigration cases in the fiscal year, nearly a quarter of those cited in the report. This month, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the process of mass pleadings violates the federal rule that protects the accused from being forced into a guilty plea.
Michael A. Olivas, an immigration expert at the University of Houston Law Center, said he was not surprised to find immigration prosecutions “No. 1 with a bullet” on the Syracuse list. “I would have been astounded if it wasn’t one or two,” Mr. Olivas said. “We’re simply pushing the cattle through the chutes.”
The fact that immigration prosecutions remained high “shows that this administration is serious about enforcement to some degree,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a policy group in Washington that favors restricting immigration. “This administration understands that it needs to appear tough on enforcement if it’s going to make a credible case for legalization,” or amnesty programs, he said.
David Burnham, who is co-director of the Syracuse research group, known as the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, said that for whatever reason, “the policy of Bush appears, from the data, to have continued and maybe accelerated.”
The rise in federal immigration enforcement figures has occurred as crime has dropped over all. According to new statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, also released Monday, violent crimes reported to the bureau’s Uniform Crime Program dropped 4.4 percent over the previous year, the third straight decline. Murder was down 10 percent, and property crimes dropped by 6.1 percent, according to the report.

Staged photos of slain drug lord stir controversy
Images of Arturo Beltran Leyva's corpse covered with blood-stained peso notes and jewelry raise concerns that law enforcement is adopting the tactics of hit men. An inquiry is underway.
By Ken Ellingwood
December 22, 2009
Reporting from Mexico City
The dead drug lord lay on his back, blood-soaked jeans yanked down to the knees. Mexican peso notes carpeted his bullet-torn body, and U.S. $100 bills formed neat rows next to his bared belly.
The gory photograph of Arturo Beltran Leyva, one of Mexico's most wanted kingpins, was among those widely published here during the last few days following his death in a shootout Wednesday with Mexican marines in Cuernavaca, capital of the central state of Morelos.
Even in a country where pictures of gruesome crime scenes routinely show up on the front pages of newspapers, the Beltran Leyva images have stirred controversy over who staged the tableau and whether Mexican authorities did so to send a taunting message to the rest of his powerful drug trafficking gang.
Several commentators said the photos, some of which showed religious jewelry laid across Beltran Leyva's stomach, were evidence that the government had adopted the macabre public-relations methods used by hit men. Gang members often line their victims' bodies along the roadside or hang them from bridges, leaving menacing, handwritten messages to scare foes.
The federal government, locked in a violent 3-year-old crackdown on drug cartels, has denied any responsibility for the photographs, calling the images "pernicious" and "reprehensible."
"The Mexican government fulfills its duty to halt organized-crime activity, but it does not get into personal humiliation," Interior Minister Fernando Gomez Mont said in a television interview.
But that has not laid the doubts to rest.
"Photographs of a corpse: law or vengeance?" the Excelsior newspaper asked in a headline over the weekend.
"The humiliated corpse, with its pants lowered, covered with bloody bills in one photo and religious objects in another, showed the typical modus operandi of narco-traffickers," security analyst Jorge Chabat wrote Monday in El Universal newspaper, which earlier ran a version of the photograph on its front page. "The only thing missing was a sign saying 'so that you learn to respect' to confirm the unmistakable stamp of an act of narco revenge.
"The problem is much deeper: It has to do with the absolute lack of democratic culture and respect for human rights in our country."
Among the main questions was who took the time to cover Beltran Leyva from neck to knees with blood-smeared bills, apparently to publicize the scene. Most of the bills appeared to be 500-peso notes, which are worth about $39 each. Another image, taken without the bills, showed Beltran Leyva's face disfigured by bullets.
Beltran Leyva, who called himself the "boss of bosses" and headed a family-run gang based in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, was killed when marines stormed an upscale apartment complex Wednesday. Six bodyguards and one commando also died.
Gomez Mont said the marine commandos, who are part of the Mexican navy, left the crime scene in the hands of coroner specialists from Morelos. He said federal officials would help state authorities try to figure out how the photographs were taken and distributed.
Morelos officials said Monday that they had opened an investigation.
El Universal published a series of photographs Sunday showing three people in civilian clothes, with faces digitally blurred, lifting Beltran Leyva's body by the arms and belted pants. Pictures showed gloved hands handling the bloodied bills and then portrayed the body covered with them.
The case sparked debate among journalists over newsworthiness of the photographs, which were credited to Mexican newspapers and wire services. But mainly it had people wondering whether the drug war, with 15,000 dead in three years, had both sides adhering to the same vicious rules.
"It is the state forces that adopted the basic language of the narco," columnist Luis Petersen Farah wrote in the Milenio newspaper. " 'There's your money,' the photograph seems to say. It's the language of
Staged photos of slain drug lord stir controversy
Images of Arturo Beltran Leyva's corpse covered with blood-stained peso notes and jewelry raise concerns that law enforcement is adopting the tactics of hit men. An inquiry is underway.

The dead drug lord lay on his back, blood-soaked jeans yanked down to the knees. Mexican peso notes carpeted his bullet-torn body, and U.S. $100 bills formed neat rows next to his bared belly.
The gory photograph of Arturo Beltran Leyva, one of Mexico's most wanted kingpins, was among those widely published here during the last few days following his death in a shootout Wednesday with Mexican marines in Cuernavaca, capital of the central state of Morelos.
Even in a country where pictures of gruesome crime scenes routinely show up on the front pages of newspapers, the Beltran Leyva images have stirred controversy over who staged the tableau and whether Mexican authorities did so to send a taunting message to the rest of his powerful drug trafficking gang.
Several commentators said the photos, some of which showed religious jewelry laid across Beltran Leyva's stomach, were evidence that the government had adopted the macabre public-relations methods used by hit men. Gang members often line their victims' bodies along the roadside or hang them from bridges, leaving menacing, handwritten messages to scare foes.
The federal government, locked in a violent 3-year-old crackdown on drug cartels, has denied any responsibility for the photographs, calling the images "pernicious" and "reprehensible."
"The Mexican government fulfills its duty to halt organized-crime activity, but it does not get into personal humiliation," Interior Minister Fernando Gomez Mont said in a television interview.
But that has not laid the doubts to rest.
"Photographs of a corpse: law or vengeance?" the Excelsior newspaper asked in a headline over the weekend.
"The humiliated corpse, with its pants lowered, covered with bloody bills in one photo and religious objects in another, showed the typical modus operandi of narco-traffickers," security analyst Jorge Chabat wrote Monday in El Universal newspaper, which earlier ran a version of the photograph on its front page. "The only thing missing was a sign saying 'so that you learn to respect' to confirm the unmistakable stamp of an act of narco revenge.
"The problem is much deeper: It has to do with the absolute lack of democratic culture and respect for human rights in our country."

A Moratorium is smart not just for the economy but also for our safety.
Why let more illegal immigrants into the lifeboat than the lifeboat can sustain?
Letting Muslims into our country when their religion's political ideology is contradictory and hostile to our country and our way of life is just insane!
With a 10 percent unemployment rate, now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for citizens and legal immigrant workers.
Now is the time for the President to enforce immigration laws.
