5,000 Mex National Guardsman
Jackie,
Have not verified with Amlo himself, but 5,000 troops is a major military development for Tijuana, not sure if Mexico is aiming to block migrants, fight drug cartels or prevent invasion from the US? It may be tempting to take over Baja California and turn all beach front properties into time-share condos, but it may not be worth the huge expenses, headache and high risks of governing a territory with poor resources (besides beach front condos), poverty, horrific crimes, unmotivated population ect Rest assure the world wants to rent BC and her hot young girls, not own them.
I may be wrong but there have been no shooting with automatic weapons in Tijuana last couple years, no overt battles against local policias, so I don't understand the needs to deploy 5,000 troops here, but for sure the government would not be so stupid to deploy 5,000 troops somewhere without intelligence on enemy forces, not anticipating or planning for major fire fights, no detailed battle plans ect. Any city in Mexico that had military deployments soon had fierce battles on the streets and escalated violence.
Remember how Mexican Marines tracked down and arrested Ovidio de Guzman in Cualican? Immediately Sinaloa cartel mobilized superior force, massive troops with heavy machine guns, blocked all streets, burned cars and buses, shooting up every one, eventually Amlo himself had to order the Mexican Marines to release their capture.

Why Mexico does not send troops to raid, bust and shut down the many Meth and Fentanyl factories further away from dense population areas and eradicate the roots of the drug cartels?
Why are they not doing more undercover investigations, stings and financial busts to destroy the profit incentives of drugs mfg and trafficking?
Don't know their targets in Tijuana, may just be theatricals to milk more money out of our humane government. Hope the battles will be far from the bar block so people can have a little fun. Get ready to hug the ground and burry your faces in bar girls' crotches for safety when the shooting start. Monitor the situation and advise us of any major risks.
Assassinations in Tijuana
In 1988 the bodyguard of Tijuana's ex mayor, Jorge Hank Rhon, assassinated a Tijuana journalist. A raid of the ex mayor facilities found dozens automatic weapons.
AFAIK nobody has been convicted or penalized for this and many similar murders.

"On April 20,1988 a local newspaper columnist, Hector "El Gato" Felix Miranda was assassinated on his way to work. The gunmen turned out to be security guards at the Caliente track, and one had worked as well for Hank Rhon's father, Carlos Hank. To this day the independent news weekly in Tijuana, ZETA, runs a full page ad with white letters: "Jorge Hank: Why did your bodyguards assassinate me?" 'El Gato' had been a fierce critic of the Hank family."
