Nuevo Laredo mayor on
2010-04-13
All the rest is fluff, but this bit may be of interest.
We had heard very little from the mayor of Nuevo Laredo since February after a gun battle broke out across the border.

That is until now.

“We are working with state and local even the United States authorities because we need to solve the problem that's going on in Nuevo Laredo but Nuevo Laredo is the safest border city along the U.S. and Mexico and we are going to keep it that way,' says Ramon Garza-Barrios, mayor of Nuevo Laredo.

Still not wanting to cause alarm, Nuevo Laredo Mayor Ramon Garza Barrios says ICE, DEA, FBI and ATF agents are working side by side with Mexican authorities to put a stop to what he calls isolated incidents.

Barrios spent the morning preparing for a visit from the U.S. Ambassador, just days after the American consulate office in Nuevo Laredo was the target of a bomb.

This year, there have been about 50 confirmed murders in Nuevo Laredo but hundreds others remain unconfirmed.
