His son was killed by the cartel. He was faced with the decision: Move his family, or die.
Jorge was arrested in the United States in 2015 for domestic violence. The Desert Sun was unable to locate his arrest records; he was living and working under a false name at the time. He said he spent about a month in jail and was given three years of probation.
He woke up in a hospital in Chilpancingo. In January 2017, doctors noted the left side of Jorge’s jaw was broken and that he had difficulty opening his mouth, according to documents shared with The Desert Sun. They took X-rays of his skull and mouth. Martín said Los Ardillos threatened his family because they were trying to investigate Leonel’s death. Alfredo, who was still in the habit of not saying aloud the names of the criminal groups, said he felt threatened by both groups, as well as by federal police officers, whom he believed were working with one of the groups.
That can be a tough argument in front of immigration judges who might have traveled to Mexico for a vacation — a problem that Meade of the University of San Diego calls “the curse of familiarity.” He recalled serving as an expert witness in front of a judge who had recently returned from a beach holiday in the city of Zihuatanejo on Guerrero’s Pacific Coast.
In her May 2018 decision, immigration judge Molly Frazer determined Martín had credibly testified that he would face persecution in the future, from both Los Rojos and Los Ardillos, if he returned to Chilapa. She determined Martín had proven that being in his brother Alfredo’s family was a central reason for persecution by the two criminal organizations.
He choked up as he described the neighborhood field, at the base of the green mountains of Guerrero, where he and his friends used to play soccer after work. He said he thought of several of the boys on the neighborhood’s youth team in Chilapa as his own sons.Omar Ornelas/The Desert Sun Alfredo said in the 1990s, he and his relatives came to the United States with the dream of working hard, making money and returning to Guerrero to build a house and start a business. This time, he said, they’re here to seek refuge. From Oregon, he follows Facebook accounts that track the latest deaths and disappearances in Chilapa.Alfredo likely missed his opportunity to apply for asylum; people seeking asylum must file an application within one year of arriving in the United States.
Some 2,800 miles away, Jorge remains in the state of Morelos, far from Oregon and displaced from Chilapa. In his bedroom, a TV sits atop cardboard boxes. In the corner of a spare room, more cardboard boxes are stacked five-high. The boxes contain the clothing and cell phone accessories he tried to sell in Morelos, he said. He was extorted there, too, so he closed the shop after six months.
