The Camargo massacre occurred on 22 January 2021, in the Santa Anita of Camargo Municipality, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Nineteen people—including 16 Guatemalan migrants, 2 Mexican nationals, and 1 Salvadoran national acting as smugglers—were shot and their remains incinerated inside a vehicle. In September 2023, 11 members of the elite Special Operations Group (GOPES) were sentenced to 50 years in prison for the killings, while a 12th officer received a 19-year sentence for his cooperation with the prosecution.
