Este artículo aborda lo que he llamado la “densificación de la delincuencia” de un grupo de jóvenes de la calle en Nogales, Sonora, México quienes se han autodenominado “Barrio Libre.” La transformación de este grupo de jóvenes de molestia pública, a una amenazante pandilla transnacional, particularmente por sus cotidianos asaltos a los emigrantes indocumentados, está inextricablemente relacionada con preguntas sobre soberanía y prácticas de vigilancia policial en la “nueva frontera” entre Estados Unidos y México, con la ilegibilidad entre economías lícitas e ilícitas, y con las entreveradas tecnologías de racialización y criminalización. This article grapples with what I term the “thickening delinquency” of a group of homeless youths in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, who called themselves “Barrio Libre.” Their transformation from public nuisances to a threatening menace of a transnational gang, particularly their practices of mugging would be undocumented migrants, proves inextricably tied to questions of policing and sovereignty at the new frontier between the United States and Mexico, the concomitant blurring of licit and illicit economies in this region, and intertwined technologies of racialization and criminalization
