“Lawless Narco-State”: Mexican Mayor Beheaded Just Six Days Into Office

The severed head of a newly elected mayor in southern Mexico was found on top of his vehicle just six days into his term. Footage of the gruesome scene was shared on X, highlighting Mexico as a lawless narco-state run by ultra-violent cartels.

On September 30, Alejandro Arcos was sworn in as mayor of Chilpancingo, the capital and second-largest city of the Mexican state of Guerrero. The newly elected mayor lasted less than a week before he was assassinated on Sunday, with his head chopped off and placed on the roof of the vehicle as a reminder to local government officials that cartels are in charge.

Arcos represented an opposition coalition that also included the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). His party took to social media and called the mayor’s murder a “cowardly crime.” PRI called for justice at the beginning of this week.

“Enough violence and impunity! The people of Guerrero do not deserve to live in fear,” PRI wrote on X.

Just three days before Arcos’ murder, another city official, Francisco Tapia, was murdered, according to PRI President Alejandro Moreno.

Left-wing Mexico is a lawless narco-state. The ultra-violent cartels essentially run the country. RIP Alejandro Arcos and Francisco Tapia.

“They had been in office less than a week,” Moreno wrote on social media, adding: “They were young and honest public servants looking for progress for their community.”

Guerrero is a cartel hellhole and one of the deadliest states in Mexico. Cartels fight each other for control over drug production and human trafficking. This is one of the deadliest areas for elected officials and journalists.

Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration’s open southern borders have not only created the worst border crisis in U.S. history, but also strengthened and enriched cartels that control vast human trafficking networks.

Well done, Democrats. Open borders have led to chaos on both sides of the border, and the importation of the Third World into America.
