MEXICAN GANGS TARGET FAMILY KILLING THE WOMEN

The tale of Marisela Escobedo continues after her murder. Marisela was a nurse in the U.S. who retired after her16-year-old daughter, Rubi Marisol, was found killed and dismembered in August 2008. The suspect, her live-in boyfriend, Sergio Rafael Barraza, escaped into Mexico, joined a gang and had Marisela killed outside the governor's mansion to stop her cries for justice.

Now the gang has targeted Marisela's husband by setting ablaze his lumber business in Ciudad Juarez.

MEXICAN PRISONERS ESCAPE AND MAY BE COMING TO U.S.

Around 150 inmates escaped, 12/17/2010, from a state prison in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on the border of Laredo, Texas. The "authorities" said the breakout was done with the aid of prison employees.  141 of the inmates got out via a service exit used by vehicles with staff assistance. The director of the prison is not talking and is "under investigation."

The escaped prisoners were a mixture of state and federal criminals.

Mexican prisons are very different than American prisons. In Mexico, prisoners rule by gangs inside prisons more fiercely than we experience in the U.S.
