On June 7, 2023, the Sonora Prosecutor's Office received, from the Transnational Anti-Gang Center (CAT) based in El Salvador, the request to apprehend 24-year-old Anderson Omar N. He is considered a priority target by El Salvador for being a member of Mara Salvatrucha, allegedly having committed various crimes, and being a fugitive from the anti-gang offensive imposed by President Nayib Bukele. "El Dino" fled El Salvador, traveled through Guatemala, and settled in Hermosillo, Sonora in 2020.
Anderson Omar, "El Dino", a 24-year-old member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang has two current arrest warrants. One for aggravated homicide and terrorism, as well as for the crime of aggravated kidnapping.

Just noticed this list of "Narco Terms" in the news letter, which shows the names of the groups whose initials appear commonly, and terms or people used frequently in films concerning narcotrafficking. It looks very useful:

(19,312 posts)A "friend" steered me toward that site years ago. Let's just say they post some of the most horrible, and I do mean HORRIBLE, videos I've ever witnessed. Things you can't erase from your mind once you've seen them.
I know it's factual imagery of cartel ruthlessness, but I don't ever want to see anything like that again. Man's inhumanity to man, writ large.
