EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The president of Mexico says his security forces will protect residents near the Guatemala border coping with rival gangs vying for control of drug and migrant trafficking.
The comments come a day after authorities in Chiapas confirmed they found 19 bodies in and around a dump truck on a road in the town of La Concordia.
