Héctor Félix Miranda

Héctor Félix Miranda (c. 1941 – April 20, 1988) was a Mexican journalist and columnist of the Tijuana-based Zeta magazine, which reported on corruption and drug trafficking. In the late 1970s, he began to work for the daily newspaper ABC under Jesús Blancornelas and wrote under the name "Félix el Gato" ("Felix the Cat") to criticize local politicians. These columns eventually angered Baja California's state government and Mexico's former President José López Portillo to the point that the government ordered Blancornelas to fire Félix and banned its distribution. When Blancornelas refused, a SWAT team was sent to take over the paper's offices on the pretext of settling a labor dispute.
