Most of the recruiting is being done by the Sinaloa Cartel, which is faced with the New Juarez Cartel and its armed faction, La Linea, for control of routes of drug trafficking in the region, said the authorities.
Women are abducted and forced to fight and kill for organized crime, said the authorities.
In 2008, operatives of the Sinaloa Cartel arrived in the region in large numbers to take charge of drug trafficking routes. The cartel is led by the capo, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán. El Chapos forces began to fight against the Juarez Cartel (which is now the New Juarez Cartel, or NCJ) and La Linea, the armed wing of the cartel.
El Chapo recruits women
El Chapo forces gained control of many of the routes of drug trafficking, according to reports published. In 2012, when the Sinaloa Cartel continued fighting against the NCJ and La Linea, El Chapo forces increased their recruitment of young girls and women to make executions, said Marcelina Bustillos Romero, Governor of the Rarámuri indigenous people.
The Sinaloa Cartel operatives recruited many young men and women in Norogachi, a small village in the region of the Sierra Tarahumara. Most of the villagers are indigenous. The arrival of the drug cartel operatives caused fear to many residents of the town, said Bustillos Romero.
"The bad people" (members of drug cartels) were seen walking in the mountains; No one left their homes at night", he said.
Rarámuri women and some young women were abducted by troops of El Chapo and reappeared a few months later with guns, said Martín Chávez, Member of the Tarahumara tribe. The victims of kidnappings had been trained as executors, he said.
The Legacy of Sugey
Sugey is one of the women recruited to work as a sicaria; in this case, by the La Linea. Security agents captured her in 2010.
Federal prosecutors accused her of murder, illegal possession of firearms, organized crime and crimes against public health activity. Sugey is declared guilty and awaits her sentence. It is not identified by her full name for security reasons.
La Linea did not kidnapped her or forced her to be a sicaria, said Sugey. A younger cousin of her was a friend of La Linea, said in an interview at a federal detention center.
The father of one of his cousin's friends hired her to do errands. One day he asked her that she drive a truck. The truck contained many long rifles, Sugey knew how to handle them because she had gone to military school. The man asked her to work for La Linea, explained.
Sugey began working for La Linea, effective in La Linea, mainly as a driver. A few months later, opponents of organized crime kidnapped her cousin, who was approximately 20 years old.
The kidnappers killed her cousin and left the corpse burned and decapitated in their village. The killers gave the head of the victim to the mother and left a sign warning to the family not to have a funeral or honor his death.
A Sicaria
At that time, Sugey decided to avenge her cousin. She became assistant to the sicarios and then became one herself. She became leader of a group of troops of La Linea and received a payment of 35,000 pesos per month.
Groups working for La Linea were integrated by a maximum of five members, and were known as "patrols". She was the only woman in the group, and soon became leader. She won the privilege of using a uniform, a belt of cartridges, ammunition and weapons.
First victim
The first victim of Sugey was a wife, mother of three children. The women had reported it to the authorities, accusing her of selling drugs for La Linea, said Sugey. As a result of this she shot her several times in the head, she said.
Before her capture, she participated in about 30 murders, said Sugey, who claimed to have killed some of the victims herself and having been an observer for other killings.
