Who is El Azteca?
“El Azteca” is listed as one of the current leaders of the CIS or Independent Sonora cartel, a criminal organization that emerged from the recent split between Los Salazar and the Sinaloa Cartel, specifically from the Los Chapitos faction.
“El Azteca” reportdly took over operations for his family in the Navojoa area after the death of his half brother “La Cria” in August 2019. He was mentioned by rival Caborca Cartel narco mantas in 2021 and is allegedly the plaza boss of Navojoa, Sonora and contests nearby areas with Los Mata Salas and the Caborca Cartel.

Underage Pregnant Girlfriend Murdered
In September 2020, after the disappearance of a 16 year-old-girl identified as Ximena Hernandez was reported weeks prior in Chinipas, Chihuahua, relatives confirmed that the minor was found dead on a road leading to Navojoa in Sonora.
The pregnant girl had been the girlfriend of Adhair Salazar. After an argument, he ordered her kidnapped and apparently murdered and burned her body on a stretch of highway, according to information provided by authorities in both states.
The young woman was living in Chinipas, Chihuahua, and after the argument, she was kidnapped according to her relatives, who began searching for her through banners and messages on social media.
Operation Tidal Wave
The operation, dubbed “Operation Tidal Wave” uses ICE’s 287(g) authority, which allows for state and local law enforcement agencies to be deputized and to arrest those in the U.S. illegally. State and local agencies allow for ICE to be in jails and on task forces, according to the agency.
“So this is one of the first large-scale missions we’ve done like this ever,” he added. “We brought a ‘whole the government’ approach with cooperative jurisdictions that want to help ICE secure communities in neighborhoods and remove public safety threats from our neighborhoods.”
