An Arizona OnlyFans star with alleged ties to a Mexican cartel was abducted at gunpoint by multiple armed men in Mexico Tuesday, according to footage that captured the incident.

The reported kidnapping of 20-year-old Mexican-American Nicole Pardo Molina, known for driving a distinctive lilac Cybertruck, was captured by her vehicle’s cameras.

According to Spanish outlet El Pais, the incident took place outside a shopping center in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where she was selling merchandise bearing the image of cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. The area where she lived and where her father is from is reportedly controlled by a rival faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, suggesting the kidnapping is possibly linked to cartel rivalry.

In the footage, Molina, who has more than 180,000 Instagram followers, was approached by a white Toyota Corolla and multiple attackers, who reportedly used tire spikes to bring her vehicle to a halt before pulling up alongside her, El Pais reported.

“According to initial investigations, three armed men in a stolen white vehicle threw tire spikes at the SUV the victim was traveling in, intercepted it, and then forced the victim into the car,” authorities said, according to El País.

Chaos erupted as she struggled, desperately trying to slam the Toyota’s rear passenger door shut and scramble back into her own car, according to the footage. 

The men appeared to eventually overpower her and force her into the back of the car, while a third man in the driver’s seat sped away.

El País reported that Molina was well-known in Culiacán for her customized lilac Cybertruck, a vehicle that made her instantly recognizable.

Authorities have confirmed Molina’s disappearance and opened a missing persons case to locate the 20-year-old. They are investigating possible links to the ongoing turf war between rival cartels.

According to the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sinaloa, officials have no information regarding her whereabouts and said, “It is considered that her safety may be at risk, as she could be a victim of a crime.”

Molina was born and raised in the U.S., and her parents live in Phoenix, Arizona, El País reported. She frequently travels between Culiacán and Phoenix, where her family still lives.

El País added that Molina reportedly dropped out of school in the U.S. after the COVID-19 pandemic to pursue business ventures in Mexico.

While there were no confirmed criminal links prior to the kidnapping, authorities and media reports suggest the incident may be tied to cartel rivalries.

In 2025, hundreds of women were kidnapped or disappeared in Sinaloa alone, according to official figures. A growing number of influencers have also been threatened or killed for promoting or alluding to specific cartel factions. In May 2025, for instance, influencer Valeria Marquez was murdered during a TikTok livestream. 

FIRST ON FOX: A memo obtained by Fox News Digital revealed the preparations the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is taking Friday as a “massive winter storm” is set to impact over 240 million people across more than 30 states. 

The FEMA memo said 250,000 meals, 400,000 liters of water and 30 generators have already been prepositioned at Camp Minden in Louisiana, as well as dozens of shuttle drivers to “rapidly move commodities as needed” from facilities in Pennsylvania, Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. 

In addition, 28 urban search and rescue teams are on standby, “ready to deploy and support lifesaving operations at the request of governors,” according to the memo. 

“The secretary is fully engaged at FEMA in a way we haven’t seen from DHS secretaries under previous administrations. It’s clear she cares deeply for the Americans who will be impacted by this storm and is leaning in to make sure they get the resources they need,” a FEMA source told Fox News Digital.

“She personally gave her phone number to dozens of governors on a call yesterday and so did the acting FEMA administrator. It’s like someone took a chainsaw to the red tape and bureaucracy. We’re focused, mission ready, deploying resources, and supporting state and local response to this storm,” the source added. 

The FEMA memo states, “On Friday, January 23, 2026, a massive winter storm will begin its path across the midsection of the United States, impacting more than 30 states.”

“Conditions will range from heavy snow and crippling ice in the South to life-threatening cold in the North. A large, long-duration winter storm is expected to bring widespread heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Southern Rockies/Plains into the Mid-South beginning Friday, spreading eastward to the Mid-Atlantic and New England this weekend,” the memo added. “An Arctic front will bring frigid temperatures and gusty winds that will lead to dangerous wind chills from the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.”

More than 240 million people from Arizona to Maine are in the path of the potentially historic storm, which is expected to extend over 2,300 miles, according to FOX Weather.

Ahead of the storm, thousands of flights have already been canceled around the U.S., with states of emergency already being declared in Arkansas, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Kentucky, New York, and Kansas, along with Washington D.C., FOX Weather reported. 

Children being held in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in Texas have access to computers, physical activities and education, according to a video posted by Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who said Democrats have spun the truth about the agency.

The 34-second clip posted by Gonzales on X shows the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in the San Antonio suburb of Dilley, about 72 miles southwest of the city. It is one of the few facilities that houses families.

“In the coming days, you’ll see a lot of grandstanding by politicians at the Dilley ICE Center in my district, #TX23,” Gonzales wrote. “It’s all for show. I’ve been there and seen the state-of-the-art facilities and protocols that @ICEgov follows. 

“Our ICE agents and CBP personnel are doing their jobs, and yet again, Democrats are doing everything they can to spin the truth against law enforcement.”

ICE REJECTS ‘FALSE NARRATIVE’ ABOUT FAMILY SEPARATION, ASSERTS MINNESOTA CHURCH RIOTERS WERE NOT PEACEFUL

In the video posted by Gonzales, children are using computers in a library, reading at a table and sitting in classrooms, possibly doing schoolwork under what appears to be adult supervision.

Another portion of the video shows a child playing at an indoor basketball hoop, a shaded picnic table area and children appearing to play “red light, green light” on an outdoor basketball court.

The video runs counter to long-held claims by many Democrats who have accused ICE of placing children in cages and holding them in unsanitary and inhumane conditions.

“I want the truth to just be out,” Gonzales told Fox News Digital about the video. “This notion that they’re in cages, that they’re mistreated and all these other things is a flat-out lie.

“It’s easy to talk about a problem and then only talk about the parts that are emotional or the ones that you want to use for your political gain.”

HOUSE DEMOCRATS ASK JUDGE TO BLOCK NOEM’S REVIVED ICE VISIT RULE, SAY DHS DEFIED COURT ORDER

On Tuesday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said he was denied entry into the Dilley center despite giving officials there 24 hours’ notice.

“This is astonishing. It tells you that these guys have something to hide,” Murphy said in a video. “If they are not letting members of Congress in with less than seven days’ notice, it tells you how much work they know they need to do to cover up and hide the things they don’t want us to see.”

In another video, he said he met with two families who were held in detention for over a month, leaving their children “scared” by the experience. 

Gonzales said he visits ICE detention centers in his district often and has hosted hundreds of his congressional colleagues on tours of the centers. However, Democratic officials never visited when President Joe Biden was in office, he said.

During the Biden administration, facilities in Gonzales’ district were plagued by limited space, he said.

“This is the reason why I say the Democrats are grandstanding now,” Gonzales said. “They were nowhere in any of my facilities when Biden was around.”
