Mexican police chief flees to US. Asks for asylum.
Is there anyone that doesn't understand that all is not well in Mexico? When the police are getting gunned down and running for their lives that should be an indication.
The Luna County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Border Patrol reported Thursday that the Palomas Chief of Police came to the Columbus Port of Entry late Tuesday night, requesting political asylum.
The chief, identified by the LCSO as Emilio Perez, reportedly told Immigration and Customs Enforcement his department's only two officers had fled and he had no idea where they are.
Recent violence in Palomas includes the armed robbery last Sunday of a dentist's office while Columbus Mayor Eddie Espinoza was undergoing a root canal, and several shootings and deaths. The LCSO said a source in Palomas identified two more victims of shootings last weekend as Sergio Perez Gonzales, 55, and Rigoberto Munoz Acosta, 21. Those would be the third and fourth deaths in recent weeks attributed to what U.S. authorities say is a battle between drug cartels for control of the area's drug trade.
