Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico to help fight cartels
Five police officers died Monday after they were ambushed by an armed group in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala, local officials said.

The attack happened in the town of Frontera Comalapa, where the Chiapas state police officers were on patrol when they were ambushed.
 
"Members of the state police were attacked and ambushed," the governor of Chiapas, Eduardo Ramirez, said on social media.

Ramirez identified the slain officers as Guillermo Cortés Morales, Jesús Sánchez Pérez, Joel Martínez Pérez, Brenda Lizbeth Toalá Blanco and Pedro Hernández Hernánde.

The local Security Secretariat said it had deployed more than 1,000 officers to "attend to the situation and guarantee security in the area."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's odd.  I never hear anything about Islam trying to muscle in on cartel territory.  Maybe they understand if they do, they'll be in Allahland before the day is through. 0380000
