**Threatening Banner Hung Against Security Secretary in Mexicali**
On the morning of Saturday, September 7, 2024, a banner with threats directed at Security Secretary Leopoldo Tizoc Aguilar Durán was found on the perimeter fence of the Colegio de Bachilleres in Ciudad Guadalupe Victoria, located in the Mexicali Valley.
The message, posted by the criminal group known as Los Rusos and signed by “El Ruso” and “P1,” appeared to threaten repercussions against the police intervention led by the State Force for Citizen Security (FESC) in the Mexicali Valley. The banner stated:
“Secretary Leopoldo, this is to show you what’s coming. We are going to take down your officers in the valley. Signed, El Ruso and P1.”
This threat follows an ambush on Wednesday against FESC’s Director of Intelligence, Agustín Jaime Brambila, and his colleague in a sparsely populated area between Carrancita and Oviedo Mota Reacomodo. The ambush saw over 900 shell casings collected and a pickup truck equipped with high-power rifle mounts and a tire-bursting chain found at the scene.
Two days after the incident, FESC apprehended an individual with four assault rifles and discovered an arsenal, including .50 caliber weapons, at a local residence.
