A Mexican lawmaker has launched a campaign against people who make offensive memes.

According to Fusion, Congresswoman Selma Guadalupe Gomez wants to issue fines up to $1,600 for people creating and publishing memes that inflict "unjustified damage to human dignity."

Gomez introduced a bill in state legislature in Sonora that is meant to protect that dignity by regulating what is put on Internet memes and other social media content.

The bill is called "Law of Civil Responsibility for the Protection of the Right to Private Life, Honor and the Image of the State of Sonora" but is mostly known as the "anti-meme" law.

Provisions in the law indicate that violators could be fined up to 350 times the minimum wage in Sonora's capital.

But the legislature is not expected to support the bill. Instead, citizens are publishing memes of the congresswoman with the hashtag #nomemes. They are playing on the word "No mames," a Mexican phrase the lawmaker usually says that means, "You gotta be kidding me."

Meme-makers published memes of Gomez, putting her picture next to cartoon characters, according to Business Insider.

One meme reads, "She proposed an anti-meme law...now she's been turned into one."

Another meme reads, "She was a representative, today she's a #ladymeme."

Meanwhile, a town in Sonora is plagued with gun battles between rival cartel groups in charge of moving people and drugs into the United States, Arizona Daily Star reports.

Sonoyta is a destination frequently used by Arizona citizens as they cross the border to go to Rocky Point beach.

Hundreds of people have fled the town for fear of shootouts. The Sonora investigative state police say six people were killed on May 1 this year and another five people were killed just three days later.

Many parents stopped sending their children to school while criminals started warning residents of upcoming shootouts.

So far this year the Sonora state police have reported 38 homicides just in Sonoyta alone.
