Here is an article in The New York Times about the arrest made in connection with the beheading of the new mayor in Chilpancingo:

In Chula Vista, California, a few years ago, a local community college mounted a production of French playwright Molière's The Miser but set in Mexico and titled The Miser of Mexico. Albeit with a Mexican flair, it was very true to the original plot until the very end. Whereas the original play ends on a silly light-hearted note, similar to the antics throughout the entire play, the ending of The Miser of Mexico was anything but happy.

Presidente Sheinbaums's Secretario de Seguridad Pública, Omar García Harfuch, is the right man for the job, although the gobierno gringo keeps criticizing Mexico for not doing things their way. Although I like Ambassador Ken Salazar, he's hurt his own image with his criticisms. Some valid, others not so much, but he's an AMBASSADOR, not someone who should be criticizing Mexico for the way its government does things. Folks in the USA will just have to forgive Mexico for not blindly trusting the USA and accepting all their "help". And the incoming U.S. government will be even less trusted by Mexico as well as the rest of the world. So there's that.
