José Inés Salazar

[3] When Francisco I. Madero called for an armed revolt against the government of Porfirio Díaz in November 1910, Salazar and Orozco joined the cause.

Their biggest victory was the taking of Ciudad Juarez in May 1911, which ultimately led to the collapse of the Díaz government.

[4] Salazar took part in this 1912 rebellion in collaboration with Emilio Campa as a result of Madero's failure to give him an appointment as the police commissioner in Casas Grande.

[6] In April he forced Francisco "Pancho" Villa and Maclovio Herrera out of Hidalgo del Parral.

[9] In 1912 as part of their campaign of "Mexico for Mexicans" Orozco and Salazar ordered the Mormons to leave their colonies in Chihuahua and Sonora.

Orozco and his lieutenants including Salazar agreed to cease fighting against the central government in exchange for paid positions as Mexican irregular forces.

[13] In November 1913, Salazar commanded a brigade under General Francisco Castro defending Ciudad Juarez.

[14] On 23 November General Salvador Mercado ordered him to lead a force against Villa and retake Ciudad Juárez, this encounter was later to be called the Battle of Tierra Blanca.

[15] In January 1914 Mercado and Salazar were again attacked by Pancho Villa, this time at the border town Ojinaga, Chihuahua.

A Federal jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico, acquitted him in May 1914, but he was then taken to a detention camp at Fort Wingate to face charges of violating American neutrality laws.

This movement was led by former head of state Victoriano Huerta and his supporter Pascual Orozco but the arrest of both in late June 1915 thwarted the plan.

[18] With Huerta and Orozcon deceased, Carranza's federal soldiers captured and imprisoned Salazar in May 1916 in Ciudad Chihuahua, but in September Pancho Villa raided the town once more and released all the prisoners.
