SAN DIEGO (AP) - The mother of an alleged 14-year-old assassin in Mexico has been charged in San Diego with entering the United States illegally.

A federal complaint filed Wednesday says Border Patrol agents arrested Yolanda Lugo Jimenez on Monday night at her San Diego home. She allegedly told agents she is a Mexican citizen and not allowed to be in the United States.

A U.S. law enforcement official confirms the 43-year-old woman is the mother of a boy who claims he carried out at least four executions for Mexican drug traffickers. Her detention was first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune.

The boy, who authorities only name publicly as Edgar, was arrested Thursday with a 19-year-old sister as they tried to board a plane to Tijuana in an airport near Cuernavaca south of Mexico City.

SAN DIEGO - The mother of an alleged 14-year-old assassin in Mexico has been charged in San Diego with entering the United States illegally.

A federal complaint filed Wednesday says Border Patrol agents arrested Yolanda Lugo Jimenez on Monday night at her home in San Diego's Logan Heights neighborhood. Agents say she admitted she is a Mexican citizen and not allowed to be in the United States.

A U.S. law enforcement official confirms the 43-year-old woman is the mother of a boy who claims he carried out at least seven executions, including four decapitations, for Mexican drug traffickers.

The boy, who U.S. authorities only name publicly as Edgar, was arrested Thursday with a 19-year-old sister as they tried to board a plane to Tijuana in an airport near Cuernavaca south of Mexico City.

Mexican officials identify the child as Edgar Jimenez Lugo, whose alias is "El Ponchis."

A Mexican state governor said last week the child is a U.S. citizen.

Morelos Gov. Marco Adame Castillo says the 14-year-old was born in San Diego, California.

Castillo said Friday that officials are researching whether he a citizen of Mexico as well. Although state courts handle crimes by juveniles in Mexico, state authorities have asked the federal government to take over the case because of the gravity of his crimes.

The teen, nicknamed "El Ponchis," told reporters early Friday he has worked for a drug cartel since he was 11 and that he participated in at least four decapitations.

The much-rumored alleged young assassin nicknamed "El Ponchis" was captured late Thursday at the airport near Cuernavaca (map) with his 16-year-old sister as they tried to catch a flight to Tijuana and flee the country, said the official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

The sister told reporters that they planned to cross the border to San Diego, California, where their mother lives.

The two were brought to the office of the Mexican Attorney General's Office in Cuernavaca early Friday, where the boy told reporters that he had participated in at least four decapitations. The source said his sister was accused of getting rid of the bodies by dumping them on streets and freeways.

"I participated in four executions, but I did it drugged and under threat that if I didn't, they would kill me," said the teen, who appeared calm and showed no remorse.

Another teenage sister accompanied the two, but officials said she was not suspected of being involved in the cartels.

"El Ponchis" wore blue jeans and a T-shirt and the detained sister jeans and a sweater when they were apprehended. Their airline tickets were already purchased.

The army did not specify where they were detained in the airport or whether they had already passed through security checks.

The attorney general for Morelos state said the two would turned over to state authorities, who handle crimes committed by minors in Mexico.

The two were suspected of helping the South Pacific Cartel headed by Hector Beltran Leyva, brother of Arturo Beltran Leyva, a top drug lord who was killed by Mexican marines in Cuernavaca a year ago.

The boy said Friday he had been employed by the cartel since he was eleven years old.

Rumors that have circulated for weeks of a killer named "El Ponchis" as young as 12 years old.

Hector Beltran Leyva's fight for control of the cartel has caused a major spike in violence in the state just south of Mexico City, and in neighboring Guerrero state, where the resort of Acapulco is located.

The siblings were living in a poor neighborhood of Jiutepec, a working-class suburb of Cuernavaca, known as a weekend getaway for Mexico City residents. The are has an industrial area with Nissan, Unilever and other factories, rustic single-level concrete homes and some farms.

Neighbors said the mother has worked in the San Diego area for some time, but none had information about the teenagers' father.

The mother didn't get the money from the killings.
The kid was living with a gang and the gang got the money.
The kid only got some of it.
