The siege in Mexico in the war between Calderon’s government forces and the drug cartels has taken a new turn with the Gente Nueva posting lists of 21 police officers marked for death. These banners appeared on bridges across the border near El Paso Texas.
An unusual chill has fallen Chihuahua City, just across from El Paso on the Texas border, after authorities said they found banners attached to bridges displaying a list of 21 police officers targeted for assassination, reportedly written by a gang called Gente Nueva (New People).
The fight for the US-Mexico border rages on. The limited effort to stop the drug trafficking coupled with the increased boldness of the Mexican drug cartels should make a vacation “down Mexico way” a thing of the past (I know people who still drive across the border to go shopping…I don’t understand how they could take their lives in their hands like that).
