The governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas said two of the U.S. citizens kidnapped last week have been found dead, adding that two others are alive and are in the hands of Mexican authorities. NBC News’ Ken Dilanian has the details.

#Mexico #Tamaulipas #Kidnapping
What about the democratic rat lines funneling in all the fentanol after they opened the borders to gut the nation for full beast system demonic tyranny?
CNN, NBC is complicit in all the genocide
What about all the millions of people Cnn, NBC brainwashing disinformants destroyed with nanotechinnoculations
Based on fake kvdtests?
I am waiting for fake news NBC to report that the cartels that killed those poor people wore MAGA hats and yelled at the victims, ” THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!” Can’t wait to see what Biden does from his basement. I wonder if BLM will make a trip down there. I thought Black Lives Matter.
I say send every maga man !! If they had worn those red hats they would have been Respected and feared in Mexico.
I bet next time they’ll pay those outrageous medical prices in the US
It’s a risk you take just like sending your kids to school in the US or going to work in the US or simply going shopping in the US. These are people that work together and cause harm this are given a name “the cartel”. The psychos in the states work alone so they don’t give them a scary name. Very contradictory. Just like the way Americans live to call people coming to live in their country immigrants but yet when they go live abroad for a cheaper or better life they call themselves expats.
It’s the “not get murdered or imprisoned by Cartel” fee
Just another normal day in Mexico.
And just to think that Elon Musk is actually building his space stations there of all places.
Okayyyyyy
@Martha Mandujano why don’t they go to Africa to get meds easy as that
Butt builders need to consult Musk on how to stay alive down in Mexico.
@I’m Not Obama explain the 43 students that were kidnapped and never found in 2014
@Luis A. Barrueta I said there’s dangerous areas you shouldn’t visit lol
Time to take out the cartels
It’s been time to take them ever since they existed
these cartels been aroud since ronald regan..
too many americans love weed, fenty and meth and they provide it
@Fine Art Yeah we don’t need their weed but the other drugs are for sure government resources
That Region just ignited itself, Just Won itself a popularity Contest not good.
The cartel is ridiculous. Despite all of the smuggling and human trafficking that they do in their country they would attack people that they thought were smuggling Haitians? Shame on them! They are a disgrace to their country!
Mexico cant manage its cartel problem, the US made it worse w decades of stupid drug policies… these gangs are enemy combatants at war w the world. Time to treat them like it.
Not even Mexican government has control over cartel
Send the maga men in with their little red hats. Send em all!! Let’s make America great again.
It’s been 3 years. Get over it. You small minded nitwit.
Will u volunteer to lead the 1st group in?
Lol .. ok then you can lead the way are you up for the challenge tough guy? SMH
@Alberto Ultranaut Ready & waiting for yr call Commander, already organized para-military operation utilizing Cuban refugees modeled after the Havana op on 04-17-61 & named after another ‘tough guy,’ yr mom
🐖🏝🐖
Time for the USA to send troops to Mexico
Mexico is cliqued up with the Chinese
🤣not
Lol that’s a good one you just can’t send ppl to a foreign country just bc you want too 😅
Well looks like some talks are happening
https://youtu.be/Otjs-RLv4ms
@wero nite you really think that going to happend the Mexican p already said we’re not a colonia lol 😂
Invade this pos country and change culture
If you invade Mexico we would turn Yankees into fertilizers and send them back to your people so that they can have food!!!
Mexican cartels are asking for it ☠️
Tf are you going to do. The time to attack them was years ago
If we legalized drugs like other countries have, a lot of lives would be saved.
Like what drugs
Legalize drugs?
Good luck with your homeless problem
dude people in kennsington pa do drugs freely. there flesh is rotting and they are losing limbs . we already got an opiod crisis and you thought people was acting out and commiting robberies wait till it get legal
You have to be one of the dumbest persons on the planet to go to a known dangerous country just for a medical procedure or any other reason if you’re not on a military mission.
Y’all will bomb innocent people all over the world in places like the Middle East but won’t step in when there’s an actual threat that could put up a fight? The only reward would be the safety of people but that’s not enough, there’s gotta be oil, money, or drugs involved to act.
South Chicago, The Big Apple, DC, Mexico? Birds of a feather
Start sending JSOC forces to teach these cartels we mean business.
😂😂mean business into becoming fertilizer.
When you say “we,” do you have a squirrel in your pocket?
Who is we
@roberto garcia I read my statement here the word we is not in it
Please don’t be ignorant, the USA has no right or permission to enter Mexico with any military. If you mean business then use those special forces to fight the cartels living in the USA. Or who buys the drugs in the USA who distributes it??
Well , its time for the new mexican expedition
So what we have is four black criminals that went to Mexico to buy illegal pills two got riddled with bullets right away and were killed. Two are still alive. What a shame. But on the brighter side the world is a better place now. The left won’t report this because it involves black and brown people no white people. Woohoo ❤
W. T. H? Mistaken identity killing is killing no mistake at all. Why use that for a excuse.
It’s not an excuse. No one said it was.
This should happen to all transgenders
No… if they are dead 💀 its because they betrayed the cartel…the 2 that were murdered betrayed the cartel… the 2 that survived were innocent
Cartels run in Cancun Puerto Vallarta people you really think it’s as safe as they say. The last thing that you want on your mind on a vacation is your safety. Word of advice just don’t go there it’s just not worth it. Why support the cartel’s with your money because that’s what your doing making the cartel’s richer 8n the process corruption leads to more corruption I don’t care how cheap the vacation looks which is the selling point for most people.
I know and it’s sad because good people rely on money from tourism. I went to Cancun in 1999 and would like to go back to Mexico but it is just not safe and it is stupid to take the risk. Hardly a relaxing vacation at any price if your life is in danger. The Mexican government needs to clean up their country as best as they can.
What about justice being served?
That would be up to the Mexican government as the crime was committed in Mexico obviously. There are and have been travel warnings to not go to most of Mexico. You should just avoid it all together until it is safe again. It’s a shame as I know that some good people rely on money from tourism. The cartels are hurting their own people.
Cartel will soon be in your Door keep voting democrats and open boarders
I see border agents on Fox News live all the time saying they’ve had well over 1 million gotta ways do you think many of those are not cartel and terrorists
NBC doesn’t tell you the borders wide open because Joe Biden wants voters in for Democrats and fentanyl coming in Freely is killing hundreds of young people every day I see their parents on Fox News all the time crying
I wonder if the woman was able to get her procedure done
This is BS
😂
Only found because black victims
Great Job Biden keep the southern border wide open
@DRKrust492 I am talking about the open border and do you know who most pay to cross the border? The cartel, last I heard each person paid like 1k to the cartel to cross, you really don’t know much about the southern border and how to cross. Most use what are called coyotes, they are the ones who lead them and they pay them as well, but since it’s Mexico the cartel want it cut as well.
@nae nae No doubt, Biden is helping the cartel daily, they charge last I check like $1000 per person for each person crossing the border, you got to pay the cartel fee, You really didn’t know that?
@Mike Jones there’s no “cartel” but cartels instead. It’s just a mafia mess…
Dumbo this happened in Mexico the faq you talking about?
@Mr. Kevin Wrong, the Sinaloa Cartel is like the main player in the game. You mean you really didn’t know that?
They went to Mexico for plastic surgery? Really? Mexicans are trying to get into the US and you go there for plastic surgery? Smh.
dont these Americans understand that thiers a reason why they are trying to leave Mexico and it’s not because they like Biden😀
There’s, not their’s.
Thank joe biden
Yeah. Sure. A crime committed in another country is the American president’s fault. Yup.
Where’s Biden? Drugs running rampant, tourists slaughtered.
That’s what happen when you tried to save money on medical procedure. I guess saving couple hundreds of dollars cost them to lives. I feel no sympathy towards them.
People should always check travel warnings and heed them. They are issued for a reason and it’s not worth risking you life for surgery or vacation.
It sounds like the news people are closing the file on this case. Take away lessons, Mexicans don’t want black people to enter, they shoot first, and sort out the bodies and cash money later. Hostages that are black will be found quickly, since they stand out, and identified easily. We need remote police stations in mexico, just like China has in the U.S.
“These people”
Sounds white
Bs all over. Governments on both sides need to do better. Criminals rule our society
I am usually about forgiveness.. but this week im ok with revenge.. special forces need to do some straight up reprisals for that one.. covertly
The Mexican government needs to handle it properly as the crimes were committed on their soil. The US has no jurisdiction there overtly or covertly. If people ignore the travel warnings and go to dangerous countries then they are responsible for their own actions. To risk your life and the life of the people with you for cheaper plastic surgery is idiotic. The U.S. has enough to worry about right now anyway.
unfortunately you can’t just send special forces to a foreign country
Seems weird if the cartel men saw the mini van had plates from North Carolina how would they get confused and shot the wrong people??
100 💯 bdw a woman who was walking to pick up her kid from the school was killed in the cross fire but the news don’t say is more in the story ,and trying to make it solely about the 4 innocent Americans whom 1 went for a “tummy tuck ” but were kidnapped .
,the usa media don’t put the picture and video where clearly 4 vehicles were escorting the van ; 1 vehicle in front of them,1 on their side ,2 behind them 🙄 🤔🤔 if was about kidnapped they always block the vehicle and take the hostages alive ; 🙄 I believe is more in the story ,and the FBI and DEA are looking into it ,if if they are 💯 innocent and were mistaken ,poor people ,horrible ordeal ,
@James Manolakis maybe 🤔
@James Manolakis if that was the case the other 2 victims wouldn’t be alive right now.
One liposuction does not need 4 people to go to Mexico. Did the cartels have intelligence on those 4. Might not have been a mistake at all
@James Manolakis she went to get a tummy tuck
Prayers ❤️
The Biden admin is to blame. Why? Because their open border policies made it lucrative for Coyotes. These gangs are territorial if others infringe on their territory they’ll take them out.
What are this reporters wearing?
Clothes
For your info. They confused them w Haitians dudes that been robbing people lately late at night etc. Not Haitians drug smugglers. They couldn’t grow big enough if they tried to be smugglers in Mexico. Get it right. You welcome
We need to close the southern border and stop all flights into U S. From these southern nations. Build the Wall!!
Yeah build the wall lol you funny my guy ain’t no wall stoping this guys 🤣
@Jesus Maldonado yeah but I could use the work helping build it.
@Julian Crooks how you gonna eat? Ur prices going go up a lot of food coming from mexico
@Julian Crooks start digging than lol 😂
Why are Americans still going to Mexico.
Please listen to the Warning from the United States.
DON’T GO!!!
Exactly, those warnings are issued for a reason. It’s sad because I went to Cancun a long time ago and would like to go back to Mexico but no way in these conditions. It wouldn’t be a relaxing vacation if you have to worry you might be kidnaped or killed! I know Mexico relies a lot on tourism so the cartels are ruining their own country.
Apparently they went for medical attention, some people wanna save money on the expensive healthcare in the US. It’s called medical tourism. But yeah to be fair, they could have gone to other countries, which are safer, for the same procedure.
Is odd the cartel make this big mistake of : confused them with somebody else,they had NC license plate,when the cartel want to kidnapped they take the people alive for ramson,this van was shower with bullets,2- If was mistaken identity 🤔 they would not take the bodies, they will leave fast knowing they f up🤔🤔 they put the 4 friends out of the van and sit them on the ground first ,they had enough time to identify them correctly, this men dragged the bodies in the truck taking their sweet time, because they are the cartel ,they knew no police,soldiers will show up,they own the towns.
I saw on the Spanish news from mexico the images recorded BEFORE happened and show the convoy of vehicles around them ,1 on front ,another next to them ,2 behind them 🤔🤔🤔🤔 looks more like they were escorting the van for a while , and i don’t know but was obviously they followed them,why one orlf them called
their fam members??? sorry to say but this is more than what the bews are saying ,probably was a drug deal going wrong ,also I saw the woman’s Facebook and she have so much gold jewelry ,if was me ,instead to drive from south Carolina I rather sell my gold and pay my procedure here in usa ,not Drive to the mexico border ,the worst place in mexico,risking my life and my brothers life ,and one of her friends ,the one who is dead ,in his Facebook pictures ,he also have a lot of gold,rings,necklace, watches, even his teeth 🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔
I only crossed the border into Mexico ONCE! You’re not missing anything people! STAY OUT OF MEXICO!!!!
All democrats voters are to blame ! Biden and all Democrats own border violence with drugs pouring in !!!!
cosmetic surgery ?, vanity is a sad thing to die for .
I think this recent kidnapping in Mexico will usher in a new era of American geopolitics. Something I’m going to call the “US global retreat”. Afghanistan and Ukraine have shown that America is largely incapable of holding together its global empire. The Nord stream explosion shows the utter lack of trust it has in Germany (essentially one half of the EU, France being the other) to follow its orders. The Saudis have started to pivot from the US which undermines the role of the USD as a reserve currency. Worse those loans it’s issued to Zelensky (via black rock IMF, and World Bank) are likely never to be paid considering Russia is likely to fracture if not entirely capture all of Ukraine.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html travel advisory for mexico i would not go there
Now the news covering for the Cartel
Joke news.
So the Cartel told you, they accidentally killed the wrong people? Gtfoh..
This is what happens when either Klingons or Terrans Stray into the Romulan’s Home Territory… It could mean Death for either of Us
Osea que?
@Martha Mandujano si
anyone who drives a minivan should be punished. i am ok with this
Should the US have Annex Mexico after the Mexican/American War in the mid-1840s???
Because it ALMOST HAPPENED in the House of Senates & Congress, by voting NO to Annex Mexico after the war by a very SLIM margin!!!
Why I say this, is that Mexico STILL haven’t PROGRESSED & DEVELOPED as a Strong Nation like Canada, our neighbors from the north, that has respected Constitution of Laws and Human Rights, Economically, Socially and Politically. Mexico on the other hand has hardly PROGRESSED after its Independence from Spain, because of weak, corrupt government and politicians, from bribery, extortion, kidnapping, drug smuggling, human trafficking, lawless streets run by the Cartel mobs! The United States should have ANNEXED Mexico after the US won Mexican/American War! Mexico would of probably been a better Country, than how Spain did when they colonized it after the fall of the Aztec empire!!! I blame SPAIN for making Mexico a 3rd World Corrupt mob-lead poor Country!!!🫤
When will people learn stay off they land it’s not safe there wake up ninjas
Breaking news: Americans are still stupid.
Cosmetic surgery. Any attempt at dieting and exercise? Ever?
IQ45: We will build the wall to prevent Americans from going to Mexico
I wouldn’t go to Mexico and I’m Mexican, one sentence of my Spanish and I’m marked
I bet she was trying to get a “BBL”
Would she not then go to Brazil for the real deal. SMH
Where are the BLM protesters and where is that Crump guy? I dare the BLM protesters go protest and start trouble in Mexico.
I crossed Mexico a month ago by Nuevo Laredo on a bus 🚌 at two am. It was scary. Cartels and Mexican soldiers mixed I was heading to Guatemala they took all my money I’m here in Guatemala thanks god.35 years in the States without seeing My mother .
Guatemala is the same way the ms13 down there is a horror I will not be going back to Mexico or Guatemala
Pay attention to travel warnings before you go to other countries. They issue them for a reason.
Don’t go to Mexico.
How about when farmworkers are killed throughout the US sometimes by the White farmers and you never see that covered by US news sources. Oh, but when its American citizens…Americans demand justice right away. I say F U! What goes around comes around. If you are American and don’t want to get killed in Mexico…then stay the F**K out of our country and mind your own business and we will mind our own.
Farmworkers are killed?!
I haven’t heard about any of this. Are they suppressing the news?
I’m Mexican American raised and born in California. There is NO justification for the actions of those cowards that killed and hurt the group of people. My condolences to the families that lost their loved ones.
Shut yo as up this happens to your people everyday just because they black do you care
Were those 3 black male doctors trying to get cheap stethescopes for their studies?
Was that Kanye Wests moms cousin?
That is what happens dude when you travel to Mexico. Welcome to the cartel state or country of Mexico where it is run by cartels and gangs. You could not stay in the USA? You were looking for a good deal on cosmetic surgery? YOU sure got a good deal now? Its best that YOU think twice next time before YOU go to Mexico. It is a beautiful country with lots of natural resources but it is CORRUPT up to its belly where the politicians and the police are all brought due to the thirst of Americans in wanting drugs. Thus blame should go directly to the Americans who fuel the appetite and hunger for drugs. Causing chaos and killing in Mexico. The USA is to blame, blame, blame for all of this. In turn the Mexican government can NOT control its borders or care for its citizens. It is thus one vicious and ugly cycle of money, power and violence in Mexico and the USA.
They went down there to buy drugs and got what they got.
Why spread lies have a seat, Tom!
Drugs are everywhere. No need to drive all the way to Mexico. Seems you might be the drug junkie since your so fixated on these people buying drugs
I remember when Trump was President and there was no Chaos at the Border and the Bad guys feared us.
Lol! The USA could help stop the chaos at the borders by not selling weapons to the cartels as if they were candys. The bad guys are also in the USA 🇺🇸 Next time vote for Trump if you miss him so much, oh never mine we live in a country with no democracy, where your vote and mine don’t count.
@Claudia Elias Didn’t Obama Attorney General give guns to the cartel?
@Mike Jones during Obama’s administration there was a President in Mexico named Felipe Calderon who irresponsibly declared the war to the cartels and also allowed the US officials to introduce weapons that had a chip with the purpose to detect the location of this criminals and capture them, obviously this plan didn’t work and those cartels kept the free weapons Obama allowed into Mexico. Today the head of security during Felipe Calderon presidency, Genaro Garcia Luna is in a NY prison, he was declared guilty for having deals with the cartels, but for some reason the USA officials “didn’t know anything “
@Claudia Elias Interesting ,I didn’t watch the news for almost the whole time Obama was President, thanks for the update I had no clue.
You think bc trump was in office they were scared lol 😂 your a joke my guy its all mafia business
brazil vs mexico. who would win in a gunfight??
Who cares ???!!! 🤦♂️
Why is the Mexican government making excuses for the Mexican cartel? Seems a bit suspicious
We should NOT go to war with Mexico but maybe come to an agreement with their president we are going to war with the Cartels. Either join us or more over and let us do our job!!!
Distraction….
😏
War on irak
FINANCED BY USA
ohio Train derrailment,(TOXIC SHT)
Gas prices AGAIN goin UP
(4$ per Gallon/ 4.50 for Diesel)
TENSIONS RISING OVERSEAS
and More sht😏😑😤
Word is, the African Americans owed money to the Cartel. And the Cartel set an example.
Started making sense🤔🤔
Why hasn’t something been done to help Mexican citizens before now? Oh, the US profits too much from their exploitation.
The US could crush these people in a week, but we all know they won’t use force for 4 black Americans.
So we know the news doesn’t investigate anymore. So, did they go there for medical procedures or buy drugs? I’m just saying.
Classic case of wrong place wrong time.
It’s tragic, and yet the world continues to move forward. Only thing I can say is be careful when traveling.
Sadly the zoo is now missing a couple beloved monkeys. What will America do now???
The only possible resolution to these disparities are to send in BLM for “mostly peaceful” protests
Or just every black male with military background and firearms….
Really Karen?
@Uncle Jesse How about sending all those who raiding the Capital 1/6
@Uncle Jesse tell all of them to head out that way lol 😂 see what would happend entering a territory that ain’t yours would go sideways 😅
I wish trump was still in office and yes I did vote for trump
Thats what u get for tryin to get your body done. I hope it was worth it….. love yourself ladies dont let this be you. The cartel knew they had cosmetic surgery money and thats what made them a target.
Imagine being an American and having to travel to MEXICO to seek medical care. That’s honestly the real story here, and that’s why these people went there in the first place.
Sad! My people get mistaking all the time. Mexican cross the border all the time without brutal treatment but when Americans cross it becomes deadly or missing for years.😡
For a tummy tuck surgery. At the cost of what. Your life? Sad all around
Me personal is Boycotting all of Mexico to many other places to travel!
Its amazing how desperate people get for drug s to even risk their lives to get it🤡
Sad can’t even travel may the two victims rest in peace
Wow that’s crazy
But y’all mad at trump for going hard
F Mexico. Trump was right.
Lol go Mexico for Lipo I hope the fake news show police records this people
With all respect this story is not credible. Three married men and a woman come to Tamaulipas for a surgery that takes at least 6 weeks to recover. And at least $7,000 US Dollars plus hotel and meals?
So the three men were going to see the sights for such a lengthy time and stay at a hotel or rbnb taking care of their friend while their wives and kids waited in SC?
Surgeons don’t operate tummy tucks and butt lifts if the patient is too obese.
Also Hatians trapped in Mexico are good people they ain’t drug smugglers. They work hard washing cars and cooking or braiding hair or cleaning just to feed their families.
Very fishy….just traveling for an elective surgery….sure. RIP.
Stuff like this happens in Chicago all the time, whats the difference?
They were drug runners. You’re welcome.
