The Gulf Cartel restarted a propaganda campaign aimed at trying to pressure Mexico’s government into backing off from enforcement operations. As part of this campaign, the criminal organization has been hiding behind women and children, forcing them to go to planned protests while corrupt news outlets and social media pages promote a coordinated effort claiming police brutality against innocent people.
This week, the Gulf Cartel held a protest at the municipal building in the city of Camargo. The cartel organizers had women and children lead the small protest, and they demanded that authorities leave the area. Camargo is directly south of Rio Grande City and is a well-known drug and human smuggling corridor run by the Gulf Cartel.
During the protest, Gulf Cartel members hid behind women and children to kick down the door to the building and try to set fire to the building.

One day before the protest, Tamaulipas state police seized poster boards and envelopes of cash meant to pay for the protest in Camargo. Despite the seizure, the protest went on as planned.

The protests come at a time when the Gulf Cartel has seen a reduction in profits due to the United States increasing its border security measures. The added measures have made it more difficult for the cartel to move drugs and migrants north. Additionally, the U.S. government has pressured Mexico into acting against the Gulf Cartel and others.

Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive photographs and information revealing that Gulf Cartel members met with and directed a local journalist who runs various social media pages, instructing him to cover the protests and to push the narrative of police abuses.
