Calderón was the leader of the Damaso Cartel, a sub-division of the Sinaloa Cartel, until she was forcibly removed of her rank by cartel leader "'' El Grande''", who killed her first boyfriend, Erick Davalos Von Borstel. In response, she became the leader of "Las Fuerzas", along with her second boyfriend Hector Pedro Camarena Gomez ("''El Chino''"), and launched an internal war against "El Grande".

On September 20, 2015, police arrested Calderon at the Cabo San Lucas International Airport, where she attempted to board a flight to Culiacán. She is currently imprisoned in Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1.
