Remember La Mora | Adriana Jones

On the morning of November 4, 2019, a random act of cartel violence in Mexico sent shockwaves across the world. A convoy of Americans, in a chance encounter with the Juarez Cartel, were shot, burned alive, and left for dead in the road near their community. Nine American citizens died, and five of them were relatives of Adriana Jones: her sister Rhonita and four of her young nieces and nephews. Adriana joined Rep. Crenshaw to recount the sheer, inhumane brutality of that day, the aftermath, and the systemic failures within Mexico’s police and government which allow tragedies like this to occur.

 

Adriana Jones is the President of American Families Against Cartel Terrorism, an organization dedicated to advocating for justice and support for the victims of cartel violence and organized crime.
