La Rumorosa, under the shadow of the crime and inaction of the state guard. The State Guard has lost control of La Rumorosa, while organized crime imposes its law in the absence of strategy and authority.
Newsweek Baja California
""La Rumorosa, known for its imposing landscapes and its dangerous road, has become a focus of insecurity in Baja California. While residents and visitors deal with the increase in violent crimes, the State Security Guard remains absent, without clear reports of effective actions to contain the progress of organized crime in the area.
In recent months, it has been the scene of high-impact crimes. The State Attorney General, headed by Ma. Elena Andrade Ramírez, has implemented operations in an attempt to stop the wave of crimes, however, the efforts have been insufficient.
According to the prosecutor, the area is disputed by criminal gangs dedicated to huachicoleo (gasoline/fuel theft) and trafficking of people, activities that have increased violence.
YouTuber murder reveals the rawness of state abandonment: The recent murder of a YouTuber, known for promoting visits to the region, has generated shock and a call for attention to the risks facing those who travel through the rumor. Social networks were filled with messages of indignation and fear, while local merchants express their concern for the impact on their businesses. "People no longer want to come. We are afraid that something happens to us," says Jorge Méndez, owner of a small restaurant in the area.
Violence has climbed at alarming levels. Local merchants have expressed their fear in the absence of police protection, and carriers who travel through the 2D federal highway warn about robberies, kidnappings and extortion. However, the State Guard seems to focus more on its controversial operations than to provide effective security.
Questionable operational, without strategy or results: Constant complaints about abuse and excesses committed by elements of the State Guard circulate in social networks. The general perception is that the operations are more focused on intimidating the population than to persecute true criminals.
"We have a state guard that seems to be operating blindly, without a clear plan of action and without concrete results," said Jorge Ramos Hernández, local deputy, questioning the effectiveness of the corporation in the rumor. Ramos's statements reflect the feeling of many residents who see how the area has become a territory without law, where criminal groups operate with total impunity.
Absent authority, criminals present: Instead of strengthening security, state guard operations have generated more doubts than certainties. Cases of abuse of authority, arbitrary arrests and excessive use of force are some of the accusations that have circulated in social networks and that have not been clarified by the authorities.
In contrast, criminal gangs have diversified their operations in La Rumorosa, from huachicoleo to people trafficking. The absence of a strategic plan by the State Guard has allowed these groups to continue operating without greater obstacle, while the inhabitants live with the constant fear of being victims of some crime.
Daily fear and business closing early:For local merchants, the situation is unsustainable. Businesses that used to depend on tourism now close early for fear of being assaulted, and residents avoid leaving at night, aware that the State Guard does not guarantee their safety.
"It is incredible that while in other parts of the state, large -scale operations are presumed, here in the rumor we barely see patrols from time to time, without a clear strategy or visible results," says Roberto Méndez, owner of a restaurant in the area.
The official silence and the human cost of abandonment: The State Government has maintained a low profile against criticism. Instead of transparent the actions of the State Guard, the authorities have chosen to minimize the abuse of power and lack of effectiveness. Meanwhile, insecurity continues to charge victims and La Rumorosa is consolidated as a territory dominated by uncertainty and state abandonment.
For the inhabitants of this iconic area of Baja California, the situation is clear: Or The State Guard assumes once and for all its responsibility and fights the crime effectively, or criminals will continue to impose their own rules, in the absence of an authority capable of restoring the order.""

The picture above is from one of the teams, shot at, during the actual race event.
Maybe kevlar flak jackets are in order!
Several racing teams were shot, during the 2024 SCORE racing event, the Baja 1000.
Your travel decisions and "what ifs" can be better evaluated once your actual risks are fully known.
However, SCORE International does not want you to know, the real threats, facts.
There were at least three separate incidents on 10/6/24 in central northern Baja, with 6 people dead.
The dead are both the bad guys and innocent victims.
The injured include numerous women and a teenager. This area has been violent for a while - the perpetrators aren't going away.
Traffic on Mexican Highway 3
Numerous Mexican Army checkpoints are in the area, but are they effective in reducing crime? Eliminate the risk.
"4 men shot dead in Trinidad Valley- October 6, 2024 Around 12:00 hours, this Sunday it was reported through C4 that, elements of the National Guard located a pickup type vehicle, at kilometer 108 of the Ensenada-San Felipe road, a few meters from the terrace in the delegation of the Valley of Trinidad. Inside the vehicle were found four male people, with gunshot wounds, who were not responding to the call. As a result, notice was given to the State Prosecutor General's Office to those who have the responsibility to carry out the relevant investigation. There are 6 people dead after the shootings registered in the Trinidad Valley and there are more than 10 people injured more information developing."
From local police reports, October 6, 2024, At least three dead and one injured is the result of another armed confrontation, this time in the area of Laguna de Hanson, in the Sierra de Juarez, between criminals and Army personnel.
Unofficial data obtained by Patrulla 646 indicate that around noon a group of suspected criminals possibly involved in a series of armed confrontations in the Trinidad Valley encountered Army personnel.
In the process there was a confrontation with military personnel and three of the criminals were shot down, one was injured.
Sunday October 6, a series of shootings in the Trinidad Valley, criminals were looking to cross the gaps heading to the Rumorosa by roads from the Juarez Sierra. On the way, they ran into Mexican Army units.
"Since the confrontations began, restrictions and checkpoints were placed in various gaps and roads in La Calentura, Sierra de Juarez and heading to San Felipe."
"Shooting leaves one dead and 8 injured in the Trinidad Valley"
The Municipal Public Safety Directorate reports that, through the C4 emergency system, a report of firearm detonations was received in the village of Valle de la Trinidad. After verifying the information with the personnel assigned to the area, the veracity of the call was confirmed.
In response, a coordinated operation was implemented with the State Prosecutor General's Office, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), the State Force and other security authorities, moving to the scene. Upon arriving at kilometer 118 of the Ensenada-San Felipe highway, two Tahoe-type vehicles were located, one in black color and one in gold, both with firearm shocks. Later on the Ensenada-San Felipe highway, at km 119, a male person was seen, who did not respond to the call, so the support of paramedics was requested who determined that he lacked vital signs, so he coordinated the area. Subsequently to the delegation of the Valley of Trinidad, a minor of 17 years old arrived, injured by skirting from, apparently, gunfire, which was transferred by his own means.
Also, support was provided to emergency units to transfer three injured male people, presumed by gunshot strikes, to a hospital in Ensenada for medical care. In addition, three other female people were admitted to the hospital are recorded, who were also treated for possible injuries related to the incident. It can be reported that at the last moment he arrived at the Trinidad Valley delegation, a male injured by allegedly shooting a firearm, himself being evaluated by paramedics.
"The Municipal Public Safety Directorate, in coordination with other authorities, maintains presence in the area to ensure safety."
In 2025, an invasion of Mexico has far greater risks than ever before.
In the entire history of the two countries, the Mexicans have never seen the obscene wealth and ignorant attitudes of the ugly Americans, so clearly as they do today, on the www!
