| 2018-02-23 |
| [Breitbart] A Mexican federal judge ordered the release of one of the top regional leaders of the Gulf Cartel less than three days after his arrest in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. The judge ruled that errors in the case file made his arrest unlawful in nature. The magistrate judge at the Altiplano federal prison in the State of Mexico ruled that the highly publicized arrest of Jose Alfredo "El Contador" was an illegal action by the Mexican Navy and ordered his release, Mexico’s Milenio reported. Mexican federal law enforcement officials revealed to Breitbart Texas that there were some chain of custody issues with the case file and the evidence presented. According to Milenio, authorities claimed to have arrested Cardenas in the street but his wife presented video evidence purporting to show that he was at home at the time. |

| #2 Plata o plomo....silver or lead. Simple message by phone or under the windshield at home. Corruption and the pretense of the rule of law. A Mexican tradition now coming to a city near you... Remember, diversity is our strength! |
