JUAREZ, MX – A joint operation conducted by Mexican law enforcement in tandem with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) led to the apprehension of a cartel member known as “La Diabla,” who was reportedly engaged in baby-trafficking and murderous organ harvesting.
On September 2nd, Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, who was widely known as “La Diabla,” was arrested in Juarez, Mexico, following intel provided by the ODNI’s NCTC to law enforcement agencies operating out of Mexico.
Aguilar’s exploits were reportedly horrific, where the woman would routinely lure pregnant women to perform illegal C-sections, often times killing the women in the process, to then go on and harvest these murdered women’s organs.
After performing the aforementioned murderous back alley C-sections, Aguilar would sell off the children to individuals residing in the United States for roughly $14,000 USD a child, according to the NCTC.
Joe Kent, the NCTC director, noted in a statement on the matter, “This is one example of what terrorist cartels will do to diversify their revenue streams and finance operations.”
Director Kent explained how the vital intel provided by the agency aided Mexican authorities in tracking down and apprehending this Jalisco New Generation Cartel ringleader, highlighting how he’s “proud” of the results stemming from the collaborative effort.
“NCTC delivered critical intelligence on ‘La Diabla’s’ location and developed comprehensive analysis that enabled U.S. and Mexican law enforcement partners to take action,” Director Kent stated.
“I am proud of our team’s ability to work with our forward deployed U.S. partners and Mexican law enforcement to stop these horrific acts. NCTC remains committed to disrupting all aspects of terrorist cartels and their operations. And in this case, the lives of innocent women and children depended on it.”
The operation came in the wake of President Donald Trump designating the likes of cartels and transnational gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations after assuming office this past January, with the NCTC prioritizing intelligence operations to assist law enforcement operations domestically and abroad.

No punishment is too harsh for her, and the same for the buyers of the babies unless they were actually adopting them into a normal family.
