Intense fighting has erupted in the Mexican city of Culiacán, where masked gunmen threw up burning barricades and traded gunfire with security forces after authorities arrested one of the sons of the jailed former leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel Joaquín “El Chapo”

Guzmán.

Mexico’s security minister, Alfonso Durazo, said a patrol by National Guard militarised police first came under attack from within a house in the city, 600 km (370 miles) northwest of Mexico City.

After entering the house, they arrested Ovidio Guzmán López, who is accused of drug trafficking in the United States.

However, the patrol was quickly overpowered by cartel gunmen, and the decision was taken to withdraw to protect the lives of the National Guard and restore calm in the city, where gangsters had set up roadblocks and were unleashing heavy automatic gunfire, Durazo said.

Images shared on social media showed trucks with mounted heavy machine guns patrolling the city streets. Another clip showed a gunman with an assault rifle shooting at an unknown target against a soundtrack of continuous gunfire.

Local media had reported that at least one of the main roads out of the city towards the port of Mazatlán had been blocked by a barricade of burning trucks, while others were closed by the army.

Photographs were circulating on social media purporting to show Ovidio in detention in a light blue shirt, with what appeared to be religious medallions around his neck.

“The decision was taken to retreat from the house, without Guzman to try to avoid more violence in the area and preserve the lives of our personnel and recover calm in the city,” Durazo said.

Thursday’s shootouts initially prompted rumours that they were triggered by the arrest of Iván Archivaldo Guzman Salazar, another of Chapo’s sons. It’s unclear if he was detained.

The 28-year-old Ovidio Guzmán López is one of four children from Chapo’s second marriage. He is named together with his elder brother, Joaquín Guzmán López, in an indictment related to cocaine trafficking released by the US Department of Justice in February this year.

Chapo Guzmán had two other wives and at least six more children.

The murder of 22-year-old Edgar Guzmán López in a Culiacan parking lot May 2008 sparked a major turf war between Chapo and his former allies from the Beltrán Leyva cartel that raged for years.

The Sinaloa public security secretary, Cristóbal Castañeda, told Milenio TV that as well as roving shootouts and barricades, the chaos included a mass jailbreak of between 20 and 30 inmates.

“We are inviting people to get off the streets until we have re-established control of the city,” he said.

Guzmán, whose cartel was once billed as the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world, was sentenced to life in prison by a US federal court in January.

Over the course of decades in the business, the 62-year-old had been arrested three times – twice in Mexico and once in Guatemala – and managed to make two spectacular escapes from high-security Mexican jails.

Chapo’s second arrest in 2014 took place in the port city of Mazatlán without a shot being fired. He was in the company of his third wife and their two baby daughters at the time.

Two of the drug lord’s eldest sons, Iván and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, have appeared to lead the family’s bid to retain control of the cartel after his final downfall began with his third arrest in January 2016.

Both sons were reportedly kidnapped in August of that year from a swanky restaurant in the Pacific resort city of Puerto Vallarta by the Sinaloa cartel’s then up and coming rival the New Generation Jalisco Cartel. Officials only ever confirmed the abduction and release a week later of Jesús Alfredo.

Immigration agency returns 311 illegal migrants to

India They were put on a plane to New Delhi on Wednesday night

Published on Thursday, October 17, 2019

In the largest deportation in the country’s history, Mexico’s National Immigration Institute (INM) sent 311

undocumented migrants back to India on Wednesday night.

Accompanied by federal immigration agents and National Guardsmen, the migrants were put aboard a Boeing

747 headed for New Delhi from Toluca International Airport.

The migrants had been detained in Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Sonora, Durango, Baja California

and Mexico City before being transferred to the migrants’ center in Acayucan, Veracruz, for identification

and transfer to Toluca.

The INM reported that the detainees included 310 men and one woman, all of whom were adults.

The action was unprecedented in the history of the INM, both in the procedure by which it was carried out

and the number of people deported.

“This action, in which we had the support of the Federal Protection Service (SPF) of the Secretariat of Security

. . . was carried out without setbacks and with the respect of the human rights of the foreigners transferred to

their country of origin,” the INM said in a statement.

The deportation comes after the Mexican government deployed thousands of National Guard troops to

the border with Guatemala in June after pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had

threatened to levy tariffs on Mexican goods if Mexico did not slow the flow of drugs and migrants to the

United States.

PASSIVE OF REPORTING VERBS / IMPERSONAL PASSIVE

Verbs that refer to saying or thinking ( think, believe, say, report, know, consider, presume, hope…) are often followed by a to-infinitive form in the passive. Example: The police think he is in Argentina. He is thought to be in Argentina.

There are FOUR INFINITIVE FORMS, which we will use depending on the tense we have

in the active sentence.

Simple to write escribir Continuous to be writing estar escribiendo Perfect to have written haber escrito Perf. Continuous to have been writing haber estado escribiendo

IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS TYPE OF PASSIVE SENTENCE, WE

1 Take the subject of the second sentence: He 2 Passive verb of the Reporting verb in the same tense as in the active: is

thought 3 The verb of the second sentence in the Infinitive form: to be

WHICH FORM OF THE INFINITIVE DO WE USE?

If it carries an idea of present or future Simple: to write

It it carries an idea of past, whatever the tense (Past Simple, Past Perfect, Present Perfect) Perfect: to have written.

If either of them are in a continuous form, you use the adequate Infinitive continuous form to be writing or to have been writing

SOME MORE EXAMPLES:

ACTIVE PASSIVE

They say she works hard. She is said to work hard. They say she played well. She is said to have played well. They said she has done well. She was said to have done well. They believe he is having an affair. He is believed to be having an affair.

They believe he has been having an affair. He is believed to have been having an affair. She believes the repairs have been finished. The repairs are believed to have been finished.

GET / HAVE SOMETHING DONE (Passive Voice)

This construction is passive in meaning. It may describe situations where we want someone else to do something for us.

Examples

I must get / have my hair cut.

When are you going to get that window mended?

We're having the house painted.

If the verb refers to something negative or unwanted, it has the same meaning as a passive sentence:

Jim had his car stolen last night. (= Jim's car was stolen)

They had their roof blown off in the storm. (= Their roof was blown off in the storm)

The construction can refer to the completion of an activity, especially if a time expression is used:

We'll get the work done as soon as possible.

I'll get those letters typed before lunchtime.

In all these sentences, we are more interested in the result of the activity than in the person or object that performs the activity.

'X' NEEDS DOING

In the same way, this construction has a passive meaning. The important thing in our minds is the person or thing that will experience the action, e.g.

The ceiling needs painting (= the ceiling needs to be painted)

My hair needs cutting (= my hair needs to be cut)

SOME VERBS HAVE SPECIAL PASSIVE FORMS:

MAKE AND HELP They are followed by a bare infinitive in the active, but take a to-infinitive in the

passive Active: Her two sisters made him clean the house Passive: He was made to clean the house by her two sisters.

LET In the passive, let is replaced by allowed and is followed by a to-infinitive.

Active: The teacher let us leave early Passive: We were allowed to leave early (by the teacher)

SEE AND HEAR Some verbs of the senses can be followed by either a to-infinitive or a gerund form in the passive. Active: They heard the baby cry / crying.

Passive: The baby was heard to cry / crying.
