Armed men kidnap a woman at a food stand in Cajeme

A night of terror in Cajeme: the disappearance that shocks Sonora.

A night that changed everything

Under the dark mantle of early morning, when silence should reign, the fate of Daniela Martínez Rivas, a 26-year-old girl full of dreams, was twisted in the blink of an eye. There, in a humble hot dog stand south of Cajeme, Sonora, life took away his freedom with a cruelty that shakes even the bravest. The State Attorney General’s Office (FGJE) confirmed the unthinkable: a kidnapping in the middle of a public street, an act that left an entire community holding its breath.

The moment of horror

It was 00:20 hours when the calm was broken. Daniela, surrounded by co-workers, was surprised by a man with an icy look and a thin complexion, whose shadow rose like an irreversible threat. With a short gun pointed at his heart, fear filled the air. But hell was just beginning. Two accomplices, emerging from the darkness like ghosts, descended from a gray Nissan Sentra, wielding long weapons and wearing black, as if the night itself had engendered them. They dragged her, forced her into the vehicle, and in a flash, they disappeared along Jalisco Street, leaving behind a void that screamed justice.

The authorities, with nerves of steel, deployed an unprecedented operation. The AMIC and other corporations took to the streets, searching every centimeter of Cajeme, while the Prosecutor’s Office promised not to rest until it was clear whether this barbaric act was linked to other crimes that cast a shadow over the region. But time is ticking, and every second weighs like a stone.

A pattern that terrifies

This is not an isolated case. Just a week before, the group Mothers Searchers of Sonora had uncovered another drama: Blanca Siomara, 28, was dragged from Allende Street by two subjects who forced her to get into a car, before the helpless gaze of witnesses. Fortunately, after a frantic search and the activation of the Alba Protocol, Blanca was found safe and sound. But how many more will not have the same ending?

The Prosecutor’s Office insists that it will not give up. The investigations advance, but the question hangs in the air like an omen: Who are these men who play at being owners of other people’s lives? What dark interests are hidden behind these acts?

Advances in the passenger and freight railway network

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the construction of passenger trains is advancing significantly. The Mexico City-Querétaro and Mexico City-Pachuca routes will be inaugurated in 2027, while other lines such as Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo and Querétaro-Irapuato continue to be developed.

“We are very advanced. The other sections to Guadalajara and Nuevo Laredo will be put out to tender this year or carried out by the Ministry of Defense,” he stated during the morning conference. The complete project includes an investment of 750 billion pesos.

Right of way and community work

Edna Elena Vega Rangel, Secretary of Agrarian Development, reported that 28 million 452 thousand 804 square meters of right of way have been released. Of that total, 72% corresponds to historical right of way, 14% to social property and 14% to private property. To serve the communities, 268 social tables were held, 95 assemblies with more than 4,500 attendees and 987 plots were acquired.

Andrés Lajous, head of the Train Agency, explained that clearings, embankments and drainage works are being carried out on the Querétaro-Irapuato and Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo sections. In Monterrey, 30 thousand tons of steel are already manufactured and 9-kilometer viaduct projects are being developed. In addition, the manufacturing of sleepers began: 330 thousand for Querétaro-Irapuato, 430 thousand for Saltillo-Monterrey and 490 thousand for Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo.

Tenders and first trains

Phase 2 of bidding for the Mexico City-Saltillo and San Luis Potosí-Saltillo sections began. Six stations, three auxiliary buildings and maintenance bases will be put out to tender. The first AIFA-Pachuca train will arrive in Mexico on July 25 and this month the construction of the first unit of the northern trains begins.

In the metropolitan area of ​​Querétaro, three vehicular underpasses, four overpasses and 11 pedestrian overpasses are considered, among other works.

Participation of the Sedena and progress by section

General Gustavo Ricardo Vallejo Suárez reported that 33,072 personnel participate in railway work, of which 6,380 are women, with 7,000 units of machinery. Nearly 800 kilometers of basic engineering have been developed in the first four sections.
