Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - Relatives of two Australians and an American who disappeared on a surfing trip arrived in Mexico Sunday to identify their presumed bodies, which were found with gunshot wounds to the head, authorities said. Brothers Callum and Jake Robinson, and their friend Jack Carter, were believed to have been killed during a botched theft of their pick-up truck, state prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade said at a press conference. Bodies presumed to belong to the three men "all have a hole in their head made by a firearm projectile," Andrade said, adding that the trio had previously vi...

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - Three bodies recovered from a cliff-top shaft in Mexico's crime-hit Baja California state are very likely those of two Australian brothers and an American who disappeared on a surfing trip, local investigators said Saturday. The bodies were in an "advanced state of decomposition" when they were hoisted out of a shaft a few steps from the edge of the Pacific Ocean cliff, said state prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade. But "given their clothing and certain characteristics such as long hair and specific physical descriptions, we have high probability," that the bodies are in f...

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - The physical characteristics of three bodies found in Mexico's Baja California state resemble those of two Australian brothers and their American friend who went missing while on a surfing trip, local authorities said Saturday. State prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade said that the bodies, found dumped in a shaft atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, were in an "advanced state of decomposition," complicating identification. "However," she added, "given their clothing and certain characteristics such as long hair and specific physical descriptions, we have high probab...

Playas de Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - The FBI said on Friday that three bodies were found in Mexico's Baja California state, where two Australians and an American went missing last week during a surfing trip in an area hit by cartel violence.

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexico is the "champion" of production of synthetic drugs including fentanyl, the head of the country's criminal investigation agency acknowledged Tuesday, at international talks aimed at fighting the problem. The blunt admission came as visiting US officials called for a "more agile" joint approach to combating drug trafficking by powerful Mexican cartels. "Mexico has been the champion of the production of methamphetamine, and now fentanyl," Felipe de Jesus Gallo said. That had been "the source of the greatest wealth and power" for Mexican criminal organizations, he added....

Palominas (United States) (AFP) - John Ladd, who says he could ride a horse before he could walk, is a fourth-generation rancher from a family that arrived in Arizona when the border between Mexico and the United States was just a line on the map. Now he views that frontier -- and the thousands of people who spill across it every day -- as a threat to his whole way of life. "It rules how we run the ranch now, and that isn't the most effective way," he told AFP. Ladd's sprawling cattle farm runs right up against the wall that -- at least in this stretch -- separates Mexico from the United State...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - Joe Biden and Donald Trump traded blame for America's immigration crisis as they made dueling visits to the US-Mexican border Thursday, putting the hot-button issue at the heart of their race for the White House in November. In near-simultaneous speeches in Texas, Republican former president Trump called the record numbers of border crossings a "Joe Biden invasion" -- while the Democratic incumbent urged his rival to stop "playing politics" with proposed migration reforms. The split-screen moment highlighted what could be a make-or-break issue in the presiden...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will both visit the US-Mexico border on Thursday in a high-profile clash of schedules as they vie to win over voters on immigration -- one of the hottest issues in the 2024 election. With record numbers of migrants crossing into the United States, Biden has sought to defuse a major threat to his reelection campaign by blaming Congress for failing to back his reforms. For Trump, a hard anti-immigration stance has been central to his political identity for years, and he has repeatedly vowed to crack down on crossings from Mexico as he seeks...

Mexico City (AFP) - It wasn't his first choice, but Mexico is now home for Evens Luxama -- along with thousands of other Haitians forced to put their hopes of migrating to the United States on hold. The 34-year-old is one of a growing number of people from the crisis-torn Caribbean nation pursuing what activists have described as the "Mexican dream," building a life in a land that migrants traditionally hurried through. "I wanted to go to the United States, but I don't think there's another country that offers the opportunity that Mexico does right now," said Luxama, who hopes his partner and ...

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexico's transparency and data protection office announced Thursday a probe of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's disclosure of a journalist's telephone number at his daily press briefing. Lopez Obrador revealed the number of The New York Times reporter while reading out questions from the newspaper related to a report it was about to publish about alleged drug cartel links to his allies. The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection said that it would investigate whether the disclosure broke the law. The controversy comes ...
