The alleged criminal leader of La Barredora in Tabasco, identified as Ulises “N,” was arrested in the state of Jalisco.
On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, Ulises “N,” second-in-command of La Barredora and one of the main drivers of violence in that state and Tabasco, was arrested in the state of Jalisco, sources within the Mexican Government’s Security Cabinet confirmed.
According to the National Arrest Registry report, the criminal’s average height is 1.80 meters, with a thin, robust build, and a beard. At the time of his arrest, he was wearing a light gray round-neck shirt, black pants, and black tennis shoes. The arrest status is “in transfer.”
Known by the nicknames “El Mamado” or “El Pinto,” the alleged criminal was arrested in a joint operation involving special forces from the Tabasco and Jalisco prosecutors’ offices, as well as members of the Navy.
Ulises “N” is identified as a former federal police officer who was Hernán “N”‘s right-hand man within the La Barredora criminal group. He is alleged to be responsible for the riots that occurred on the night of December 22, 2023, in Tabasco, known as “Black Friday.”
The death toll that day was at least 15 cars burned in different parts of the state, as well as three inmates killed during the riots reported in the prisons of Villahermosa, Huimanguillo, and Comalcalco.
The head of the Mexican Government’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, stated that the former head of the corporation in Tabasco, Hernán “N,” is not the only target of the La Barredora criminal group.
García Harfuch said that, in collaboration with the Tabasco State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), they are working to locate these individuals.
