The cartel responsible for kidnapping four Americans in Mexico and killing two of them appears to have apologized, according to a senior law enforcement official. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky has more details on the incident, which officials say likely stemmed from a case of mistaken identity.

#NBCNews #Mexico #Kidnapping
An apology won’t bring back the dead, so it’s worthless.
While everyone is eating this up, im having my doubts these people were the ones responsible. People shouldnt always believe what they hear on media. This is definitely out the ordinary.
Has to be more to this tummy tuck excuse
I mean they was drug dealers they went to Mexico for drugs 😅
They just need to come run for president, no charges will be brought.
This looks like a military intervention to eliminate the cartels is being planned
They gave them up because they know the worst that’s going to happen to them is prison time people
🔴 Meanwhile Democrats keep giving tax dollars away to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Nice try media….
They were drug dealers ,they were looking for drugs
These American drug dealers that were alive must have connection to the big lead. Their money must be threatened that’s why they apologize to quiet the public from exposing the 2 remaining drug dealers so that they don’t get arrested and their money would come to them.
Fake cartels and fake apology note 😂
I wonder if that fat 🐖 still going to have her tummy tuck after all here in usa 😂
Don’t buy drugs people, you might get kidnapped.
I didn’t agree with a lot of stuff Trump said but he’d definitely take immediate action on this one. That wall idea doesn’t sound so bad especially when it comes to protecting U.S citizens
( before we jump to conclusions, we need to find out All of the information, the facts, the truth, with calm, patience ?)
Will America go after the cartel? Or the just the individuals involved?
— TIED WITH HANDS AND FEET BEHIND THERE BACKS, YOUR LUCKY YALL DIDN’T GET A BULLET IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD —
Yeah they don’t want no smoke with the protesters, come down there and tear that s*#$ up!
Any Americans still going to Mexico, I don’t know what to tell you except Good luck.
This kidnapping was bad for business which is what the “apology” was about
They actually apologized to the higher cartel , the American government
💯 don’t want attention, BUISNESS MOVE 101
Scapegoat 101
Coming soon to a city near you, thanks to Biden’s open border policy.
I’m sure they are feeling the heat.🔥They really want this to go away as soon as it came, the reason for the apology letter. The US is their bread and butter, they don’t want to lose on that one bit.
It’s cause they don’t want the USA military to intervene cause they would all die.
You know they told them “Get locked up in the states or get your dome cut off”
🇺🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯 😂🤣😂🤣😂 come threw again!!
Seem like CIA plans to invade Mexico….to start another war on terror in mexico…not gonna happen CIA try again…this time I’ll be the one..like NEO from the matrix
Ur in. Stomping ground now!
The cartels don’t want the US coming after them, they just wanna keep making that big money
That’s crap, let’s be honest. The Mexican government called the cartel, which they are deeply involved with in regards to them receiving money from the cartel Give up five random lower level guys so they can sweep everything under the rug. Mexico is just as corrupt as the cartel.
CCW
😂 they don’t want the U.S. government on there back.
the cartel couldve gotten el chapo in return for the 2 bodies had they just try & call biden
Patsies
They just killed a bunch of Mormons a year or two ago.
This has to be the weakest administration I have ever seen…
Criminal turning soft
The government isn’t in a good place to be messed with rn any act of violence towards a citizen would probably be considered an act of war we got Ukraine China and north Korea all ready to go mexico needs to stay out of sight
Joe goes along with that
ok, if I’m a Mexican cartel BOSS of any level , I’m not giving up my good men . im given up some unknown wannabees, because dumb Americans can’t tell the difference.
There will be a huge raid soon
The cartel didn’t do no apologies.. it was from federal republic.. they don’t want issues with their own government so they made it look good for the Americans. We all know these two out of 4 ppl lived for a reason on the account of them! Wipe your hands with someone else and stay away it’s a country of their own laws and ways regardless what the US government says
Stop serving fentanyl to america. Stop raping people stop physically assaulting people, they all disgraceful terrorist, they all responsible for killing so many people in america well beyond two people. Wish war was waged upon them.
Dear America people we kidnapped,
We’re sorry we ruined your trip to the
Mexican pharmacy. We thought you were someone else and had some money. We like money. And sorry about your friends we killed. Anyway, we all drew you a picture and colored it with crayons. Hope you are not too mad and will come back and visit. We promise not to shoot, and we will let you hold our guns. It’s fun. Sorry again.
Your friends,
Mexican Cartel
stop making a big deal about the 2 blacks that died, THE US DOESNT GIVE A F ABOUT THEM. only if it serves their agende.
The BBL was a cover for drug dealing. Make no mistake.
Nope apology not accepted
The victims of surviving attack are now privileged to go back to the city under Cartel Protection. If the victims accept this remains private out of respect of their needs which Cartel will assist no matter of asking or not.
Lol that’s crazy, they apologize and handed over their own men to law enforcement that were responsible. Republicans take note 😂😂😂
If anyone believes the cartel wrote an apology letter you are an absolute fool.
Those guys look nothing like the kidnappers. What a joke.
Drug deal gone bad, those 4 Americans had drug criminal records in the United States.
I don’t buy it
Wow
The five men disrupted their Ghost Cartels business and that bad for business. Being targeted by the U.S & Mexico govt. is a death sentence for any cartel.
Have you EVER heard a cartel offering an apology?!?!?! Smell like some BS going on!!!!! COVER UP
Probably staged by the CIA since everyone is starting to realize why they were REALLY down there.
Update the Mexican cartel kidnapped 5 men and sacrifices them to the US. Get a grip. Ain’t no way these people are involved
The cartels put fotos of them so the cops could arrest them
Besides yiu think these negroes went down there for a tummy tuck.?? Cmon now that state is known for its criminal activity and hard core cartel ruthless killers..they have no mercy who it is
Porque no mencionan que los Americans eran unos criminales que probablemente andaban conectando crico o fentanilo y se quicieron pasar de listos
Why the media is not saying that these americans were drug addicts and dealers with multiple arrests? And they went to Tamaulipas to buy fentanyl, there you have it, now you are informed.
We better go after than but we work with them so probably not
Mf went for a connection. Not surgery.
If you believe any of this crap apology, then you might be a MORON and those 4 were there to pick up drugs.
(Scorpion group) keep that in mind, the same name of the blackened skinned police officers in Memphis who killed Mr Tyre Nichols there’s a global connection to these random killings I don’t believe in coincidences
It’s all good. They’re leftist and they apologized so just enjoy your fentanyl.
you know what? they’re alright in my book. we accept your heartfelt apology
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
No loss. The cartel should of just kept them. We don’t need more drugs entering our country and destroying our communities.
This went viral like crazy! They probably didn’t wanna make it worse to the point USA could take actions and they would have to deal with their rivals but also with the country protected by Satan itself they could not last a day against that
REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴،
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.،
It’s time… For Military ….war against narco terrorists
That’s BS
Do they apologize for hundreds of thousands they have killed men wemon and children. They can shove the apology dead people don’t come back they are dead forever.
Cartel trash said so?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THIS IS ALL A SHOW….. DON’T BELIEVE THIS BS. WHAT MEXICO DID IS A ACT OF WAR. JUST BECAUSE OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HELPS THE CARTELS AND ALLOWS THEM TO PEDDLE DRUGS INTO OUR COUNTRY. ARE PEOPLE REALLY SO DUMB THEY FALL FOR THIS MOVIE? WE SHALL SEE. IT SHOWS YOU HOW WEAK THIS ADMINISTRATION IS IMO
Patsyies….. yep look we got the people responsible. Nothing to see here. Your safe go back to sleep
C.I.A agents getting called into the OFFICE
The only reason they “apologized” is because they are worried the US government is going to come after them
Its funny how this is on the news because they are black. But if they were US citizens that are Mexican decent. You wont hear this in the news.
So what happens to all those mexican lives and kids being taken away by US police/forces? They don’t count, but an American goes missing and killed in mex and they want to invade mex territory??? Yeah moral of the story! There’s more problems at home than at the neighbors house!
These Americans were drug trafikers and have plenty previes drug dealing charges
This Cartel is acting like a government
They issued an apology because that tells you plain as day that it’s open season at the border for all cartels to make money that the government want to happen and has allowed and they do t want to upset US government to change course and disrupt their money. It’s pretty fkn sad and evil on both sides may karma take its course on the cartels and politicians
Nothing about this story makes sense.
Wow they care soo much. Will thwy quit smuggling drugs into usa so drug addicts wont dy from the drugs?
#TERRORISTS
BS!!
Do what The Uke Zelinski did being a money launderer too albeit with bigger toys and budgets. The Cartel should send a rep to apologize formerly while demanding money for the victims funerals through Perkins / Coie color of Law and mother WEF’er / Deepstate Inc.Katie Hobbs & Associates will keep the funds flowing.
Cartel does not apologize people, nor do they give up their own to American authorities.
They would simply cut off their tiny heads and video it for youtube
This situation needs to be handled the same way they did Arturo Leyva outside of Cuernavaca. Gatling gun from a helicopter while Mexican Marines swarm the grounds and get anyone who miraculously survived the helicopter barrage. Insert that apology letter where it belongs. Mexico’s president is a cartel mouthpiece and nothing more.
They apologized because they fear the border will be tightened or closed which cuts off their pipeline for drugs and human trafficking.
Who’s to say it’s not their police taking advantage of a tragedy to blame their enemy. Hand Written letter…really!!!!?
Condolences to the families.
Drone strike cartels or there is obvious complicity from the US government with the cartels.
I remember once seeing a Black Slave disparage Americans killed on foreign soil. I saw the same attack a surviver who watched her friends lose their lives in brutal chaos.
If you trust innuendo as fact while your empathy burns in satisfied justification, what else is left to consider?
If you are Black and buy weed, you won’t get sympathy from some of your American brothers and sisters.
It is a perpetually bizarre experience to witness Oppressors, Slaves, and Supremacist claim Freedom; claim Justice; claim democratic republic virtues; yet feel the need to clock certain American victims of tragedy on foreign soil because they might have stopped on a weed run.
I believe, I remember an accusation about selling drugs for a cartel or something; but, I fail to remember the factual basis for the claim against those victims.
Since everyone is a fan of salacious accusations with no receipts; let’s focus on the 2 hours of free time of Free Americans driving for hours, late for an appointment.
I don’t know the facts, but long before an accusation would enter my mind an obvious senario is maybe one slot was missed and a later one substituted. Maybe they decided to buy weed in the meantime? I have no clue, but clocking a victim of crime 2 hour period before they are violently attacked with the distinctly gargoyle attempt to blame the victim comes from the hole of a sorry existence.
Finding fault of the American victims of violence when they are Black is apparently easy and encouraged in some places.
If you make a defamatory claim against an American victim of crime perpetrated on foreign soil, you had better have concrete evidence.
If a Government Authority makes a evidenced based claim against American victims of crime on foreign soil, it better be public and official.
If a journalist makes a claim against American victims on foreign soil, presenting with a lack of journalistic integrity towards responsible fact supported reports; the reporting agency is nothing more than the righteous equivalent of whispers and gossip.
Those 5 guy’s are not the ones that shot them look at the videos 😂
