Southern California Public Radio Federal prosecutors in Texas and New Mexico are dealing with an unusual case Ten drug smuggling crimes have been traced to a man from a Mennonite community in Mexico who is alleged to have duped the victims Federal prosecutors in Texas and New Mexico are dealing with a series of unusual cases The seduction starts with a classified ad in the paper one that 23-year-old named Juan was drawn to He asks that his last name not be revealed; he's frightened there may be retribution if the man who placed the ad — identified by U.S attorneys and the victims as David Giesprecht Fehr — finds him "Si tienes visa laser recienmente americano The man who placed the ad is from the Ciudad Cuauhtémoc area a 40,000-strong Mennonite community of ranchers and farmers in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua They’re members of a conservative Christian church with European roots Mennonites were invited by Mexico's post-revolutionary government to settle here in the 1920s in part to populate Mexico's border twith the United States The Mennonites in Chihuahua today trace their ancestry to Canada and prior to that Germany and the Netherlands "The man said ‘I’ll pay you $500 a week to drive my truck to the U.S and back,’" Juan was making $70 a week as a security guard goes by different aliases and imports American farm equipment He pitches non-Mennonite Mexicans who respond to his ad by saying that he imports farm equipment from the United States What he allegedly did not add is that the trucks he gave people to enter the U.S with were loaded with large quantities of marijuana Juan thought the job offer was too good to be true The caller was offering to quadruple his salary and give Juan steady work with health benefits So he told the caller he needed time to consider the offer Liz Rogers was the federal defender in West Texas whose office represented Juan and five other Mexicans The other three were arrested crossing into New Mexico “Whenever the person that is a Mennonite that the government has identified whenever he showed up he could talk to them very professionally over exporting and importing farm equipment," Rogers said "And so it would be no wonder that they’d believe it was a legitimate job.” When Juan hit the Texas border at Presidio a customs agent told him to get out of the truck "They didn’t tell me what was happening," he said in Spanish The officer said a DEA agent would explain everything "Are you carrying drugs?" the agent asked Juan "The DEA agent told me I had 57 kilograms (125 pounds) of marijuana in the gas tank," Juan related Rogers says one of the cases showed how sophisticated the operation was “The marijuana was hidden very professionally in an I-beam," she recounted "It was welded into the I-beam of this big flatbed And the government found it is because there’s x-ray equipment that can find very well hidden marijuana.” At least seven of the people allegedly duped by Giesprecht live near a cluster of Mennonite villages near Ciudad Cuauhtémoc located about 60 miles southwest of the state capital One non-Mennonite I spoke with outside Ciudad Cuauhtémoc — a man who says he greatly who respects the Mennonite culture — says his neighbors are hard-working farmers Sometimes plant some marijuana too," he said in English the prospect of serious jail time was real But as evidence tied to David Giesbrecht Fehr mounted the state of New Mexico dismissed all the cases three defendants were allowed to plead guilty to time served and immediately deported none of the now-former defendants will find it easy to return to the United States for example has aunts and cousins in Denver and Los Angleles If Juan to present himself at a border crossing a computer check of his documents would show that he faced serious drug charges and accepted a plea deal which included immediate deportation “They treated me well in the U.S.," he said in Spanish Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities increased immigration enforcement along well-traveled routes for migrants in southern Mexico over the weekend pulling migrants off public transport and intercepting four trucks packed with nearly 800 migrants The National Migration Institute said 1,000 immigration agents had been deployed in the north and south of Mexico The deployment comes as Mexico faces heightened pressure from the U.S to reduce the surge of mostly Central American migrants through its territory Mexico plans to position 6,000 National Guard troops by Tuesday to its southern border with Guatemala The Associated Press saw nearly 10 armed soldiers at a checkpoint near Ciudad Cuauhtémoc wearing black armbands to indicate they are part of the National Guard The soldiers stopped vehicles while immigration officials checked identification and removed passengers without documents At another checkpoint just north of Comitán in Chiapas more than a dozen apparent National Guardsmen drove around backroads in the rain and dark the National Migration Institute said 791 people were taken Saturday to a migration facility and that drivers of the tractor-trailer trucks transporting them were arrested Migrants are routinely transported through Mexico in packed semis sometimes in dangerous conditions without food or water or sufficient fresh air Government video showed officials breaking the lock on the door of one cargo

Sunday along the Suchiate River that separates Mexico from Guatemala migrants were seen being ferried across the river by raft without interference from immigration or other Mexican officials some roadblocks and checkpoints were manned by multiple soldiers and police identifying as National Guard immigration agent José Ángel Ramírez welcomed the help of the National Guard “We don’t have a way to stop so many and the traffickers pass everywhere,” said Ramírez who was accompanied by a dozen National Guard officers five Hondurans found traveling without papers were sitting in a holding cell a farmer named Armando who was traveling with a daughter and nephew broke into tears while saying he’d be killed if returned to his country the Hondurans were transported to a Mexican detention center for migrants The Mexican National Guard is a new security force created by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador The security force is still taking shape and was originally established with the goal of stemming endemic violence Last year saw the highest number of murders in at least 20 years in Mexico Mexican soldiers have long been authorized to search vehicles for drugs or weapons explained one of the newly minted National Guard officers they can detain drivers or others suspected of helping the undocumented move through Mexico Comitán locals say that trucks often bypass area checkpoints at night “We don’t know what they have inside,” said immigration agent Julio Velasco Mexican officials have set up additional roadblocks in recent days to cover more territory who sells vests near one of the checkpoints was skeptical that the increased security presence will reduce the flow of migrants through Comitán and surrounding areas “Everything will be the same,” said Lechuga who expressed a mixture of sympathy and annoyance with the travelers “Nobody leaves their country without problems.” READ MORE: Trump administration cuts English classes, legal services for immigrant kids © 1996 -

life Rancho El Negro is a five-hectare property amid rolling fields of corn and cotton at the foothills of a lonely mountain outside the town of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc in the north Mexican state of Chihuahua. Read moreNeighbours – mostly members of the region’s German-speaking Mennonite community – referred to the farm as “The Company” and had little to do with its owner and lived with several women and young children in a rough concrete house and a handful of RVs There were stories that he was an American businessman who kept a menagerie of animals including horses He was not a Mennonite and he didn’t go to church on weekends,” said Juanito Peters before adding: “He had a very untidy way of living.” were found shot dead nearby – and neighbours started to fear that the truth about Rancho El Negro was much darker than they had suspected more than a hundred law enforcement officials descended on the ranch and four other properties and arrested the owner whom they identified as Orson William Black Jr 56 – the fugitive leader of a polygamist sect Along with Black, officials detained three of his wives, a woman described as “a concubine”, and 22 other Americans living in Mexico illegally The raids also turned up a bizarre collection of exotic animal parts and stuffed animals Black was charged with illegal possession of wildlife and human smuggling – and then quickly extradited to the US Black was a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which split from the main Mormon church when it disavowed polygamy in 1890 FLDS leaders teach that men must have at least three wives to reach the highest level of salvation. The group’s former spiritual leader Warren Jeffs is now serving a life sentence for sex crimes against two girls aged 12 and 14. Around 1990, Black proclaimed himself a prophet and founded his own splinter group in Colorado City, Arizona. It was around that time that he met the Petersons – a large polygamist family whose patriarch had more than 40 children. He took two of the Peterson daughters – Roberta and Beth – as his four and fifth “wives” when they were minors, according to their sister Pennie Peterson, who still lives in Arizona. “My sister almost died when she had Orson’s son. She was only 12 when she delivered. So in 1997 I had to do something – and filed charges against him for having sex with an underage girl,” she said in a telephone interview. Black fled to Mexico in the early 2000s with four of his wives and about 20 other followers, including children. Peterson had no news from her sisters until two months ago, when she received a call from an officer with the US Marshals. “He asked me to sit because he had some bad news to share, and I thought he was going to tell me my sister Beth was dead. But instead, he told me my two nephews were shot dead in Mexico,” she said. Robert,15, and Michael, 23 – sons of Beth and Roberta respectively – were murdered on September 10 alongside a third American called Jesse Barlow, 23. Reports in the Mexican media say that all three were shot just outside one of the trailer homes. Mexican officials initially said that they were investigating Black’s role in the deaths, but he has now been ruled out, and security sources on both sides of the border suggested that the murder may have been carried out by members of a drug cartel. At Rancho Negro, there is no sign of the bear that Black was reputed to have kept. The gate hangs open, and more than 20 horses wander loose in a scrubby pasture. Further inside the property are three enormous cages, hung with scraps of animal skin – and beyond them, a huge pile of burnt animal bones. Read moreThe house and the five RVs where the family lived are still in chaos littered with liquor bottles – empty and full – and piles of dirty clothes containing hundreds of drawings of Black’s face On a kitchen wall there are pictures of his sect: seven men dressed in black and a separate line of 11 women dressed in flowing pioneer-era dresses and long plaits; none of them is smiling Mexican officials say they are still investigating Black’s activities in Chihuahua His former neighbours are left with nothing but questions “We never knew who he really was,” said Peters “But now that the news is spreading we keep asking ourselves: what was really going on inside those walls?” Rebecca Janzen received funding from the Plett Foundation the C Henry Smith Peace Trust and the Kreider Fellowship at Elizabethtown College to conduct research related to this article University of South Carolina provides funding as a member of The Conversation US View all partners Mennonites in Mexico are promoting a bright new Christmas tradition – one born of somber origins The “Parade of Lights,” a nighttime procession of decorated vehicles and holiday party held this year on Dec. 7, was created by the Mennonite Museum in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua to give local people – both Mennonite and Mexican alike – a safe family-friendly way to celebrate Christmas amid growing violence The Parade of Lights was created in 2017 in hopes of nurturing Chihuahua’s holiday spirit despite perceptions of danger 7 to watch the main event: a parade of cars and trucks decorated with snowmen The procession starts in the Chihuahuan city of Cuauhtémoc drives slowly down a normally busy highway and ends at the Mennonite Museum eight miles away Antonio Loewen, the Mennonite Museum’s former director, created the holiday parade in 2017 as a way to “lift up [local] villages” – that is, counteract negative views that the area is cartel-ridden and dangerous The museum opened in 2001 in the countryside outside Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua – home to the largest grouping of Mennonite villages in Mexico – to teach people in Mexico about the Mennonite religion and culture. Cuauhtémoc is sometimes called the “City of Three Cultures” because of its Mennonite northern Mexican and indigenous Mexican populations There are roughly 100,000 Mennonites in Mexico descendants of Canadians who emigrated to Mexico almost a century ago While conducting research for my 2018 book on religious minorities in Mexico, I interviewed many Mennonites from Chihuahua about their beliefs and traditions. My father – a Canadian Mennonite with family in Mexico who has studied the migration of this community – served as my interpreter Mexican Mennonites have maintained their culture by living in rather isolated villages called colonies. Most still speak a Dutch-like language called Low German and maintain the traditional dress of head coverings and long dresses for women and overalls for men Some Mennonites in northern Mexico still travel by horse and buggy and limit their use of electricity. Others wear modern dress and attend Protestant churches in Spanish with their neighbors The Mennonite Museum and Cultural Center, which is funded by the Chihuahua state government sees the Parade of Lights as part of its mission of outreach to the broader Mexican community The first year the event was held, in 2017, 3,000 people attended – vastly exceeding the 400 guests the museum expected A few local businesses and churches decorated cars to drive in the parade general manager of the Microtel Inn & Suites a local hotel that helped organize the festivities told me he hoped the parade would “reverse” the image people have of “insecurity and ugly things” in Chihuahua Last year Chihuahua state had three times the number of murder as neighboring Sonora state, which has a similar population The Christmas parade is the latest of several local Mennonite projects in Chihuahua aimed at bringing together the peoples of northern Mexico to grapple with pervasive crime that disproportionately affects them all Because they traverse religious and ethnic borders such efforts represent more than just a reaction to violence They confirm that while Mennonites may dress talk or pray differently than their neighbors they are part of Chihuahua’s local community [Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation’s newsletter.] a video supposedly showing a flock of birds crashing into the ground somewhere in Mexico was widely circulated on social media: This video was filmed on the morning of Feb 2022 in the Álvaro Obregón neighborhood of Ciudad Cuauhtemoc a city in the west-central part of the Mexican state of Chihuahua police investigated the scene and found “hundreds” of dead birds that had been migrating south from Canada The birds appear to be yellow-headed blackbirds (Xanthocephalus) a peculiar finding was recorded in the streets of the Álvaro Obregón sectional when inhabitants of said community observed hundreds of birds commonly known in this region as "blackbirds" dead in streets and sidewalks the police officers observed a hundred dead birds of the Yellow-headed Thrush (Xanthocephalus) species which migrate from northern Canada to northern Mexico where they spend the winter Neighbors of the sector explained that it was around 5 in the morning when the birds began to collapse so later they called the police to come to the scene The exact cause for this surreal scene isn't known at this time a zootechnical veterinarian on the scene hypothesized that the birds may have been impacted by local pollution that this crash was the result of simple bird-error While the startling sight of so many dead starlings spurred some wild speculation local authorities concluded that the birds crashed while trying to evade a predator a fluid formation involving hundreds or thousands of birds The BBC reported in 2017: North Wales Police's Rob Taylor said they had gone into a dive murmuration together and hit the tarmac The rural crime team manager said on Twitter despite "widespread publicity and theories" some of the murmuration had not being able to pull back and died on impact and there was no poisons found in the animals," he said "The vet who conducted the inquiry has confirmed that the injuries and death of the birds was caused by the birds striking the tarmac or the nearby bushes and probably consistent with the birds avoiding either severe weather or a raptor in the area." “Captan momento en que mueren

cities “It was all the same,” he recalled “They were full of American apples.” Mexico’s bumper crop coincided with a year of record imports of U.S American growers export more apples to Mexico than to any other country they exported 61 percent more to Mexico than they had Gómez wound up selling his fruit to a juice company that paid him 1 peso per kilo — less than a third of what it cost to produce

Mexican growers didn’t have the means to develop export markets this year and caused some of their own heartache by picking too many small apples “Everyone just harvested everything they could,” Lyons

Mexico will become dependent on their production once they have made Mexico’s apple industry disappear.” “We are not trying to destroy their market,” she said “There is room for both industries in the market.” and Mexican growers fill different niches: Mexican apples are cheaper and considered sweeter apples come in more varieties and are bigger and prettier “It’s a marketplace,” Lyons said “If we were shipping low-quality apples that Mexican consumers didn’t like then we wouldn’t be in the market.” But many in Mexico suspect unfair competition the senate unanimously passed a resolution calling for the suspension of all sales of foreign apples until authorities investigated whether they were treated with harmful chemicals — a claim made by politicians and industry representatives Proving dumping is neither clear-cut nor quick Mexico’s government has made no signal that it will investigate the allegation It may be reluctant to repeat history: In 1996 growers of dumping and imposed tariffs as punishment a NAFTA review panel declared that the dumping determination was made using outdated data and the retaliatory tariffs were lifted the following year At the heart of Mexico’s apple country is Ciudad Cuauhtémoc apple grower Mario Barraza explained that Mexican growers don’t oppose trade but have struggled to compete with their northern counterparts since NAFTA took effect apple industries are vastly different: 85 percent of the apples Mexico imports are grown in Washington vertically integrated industry that the U.S International Trade Commission calls the most efficient in the nation Chihuahua’s industry is more homespun It has only about a third as many apple acres as Washington and its orchards are less productive about 60 percent of the growers work fewer than 24 acres They struggle to tap into large multinational grocery-store chains that have come to dominate Mexican food sales Labor is cheaper in Mexico than in the U.S. fewer than half of Chihuahua’s growers have access to controlled-atmosphere storage a type of refrigeration that can keep apples from spoiling While most Mexican growers have just a few months to sell their crop American growers who rely on controlled-atmosphere storage for exports can wait until prices are more favorable while Mexican growers export a tiny percentage of their crop They get federal help to promote their products abroad; in 2014 Agriculture Department awarded the Washington Apple Commission $4.9 million for such purposes largely feel abandoned by their government Although Mexico gradually reduced tariffs on imported apples when NAFTA took effect it did little else to help the countryside director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center the government plowed money into manufacturing Asked what the government did to help him compete Chihuahua’s growers have tried to modernize by planting new varieties of dwarf trees that require less labor Drip irrigation was installed along with heaters and nets to protect from frosts and hail production per hectare more than tripled between 2000 and 2009 says the growers have managed these gains despite the government we’ve managed to stay standing and even grow a bit by the sweat of our brow,” he said “If we were on equal footing with our neighbors Gómez cried when his trees came down but we are left with no other choice,” he said “The Mexican countryside is dying and no one will help us.” Bridget Huber is a reporter with the Food & Environment Reporting Network an independent nonprofit journalism organization
