Colatetral Damage: Mexican journalist to ask judge for US asylum

The Associated Press: Mexican journalist to ask judge for US asylum: "A Mexican journalist who said he fled across the border with his teenage son in 2008 after receiving daily death threats while covering the country's bloody drug war was scheduled Friday to finally plead his case for U.S. asylum before a federal immigration judge.

Emilio Gutierrez Soto and his son, then 15, showed up at a border checkpoint in New Mexico and declared their intent to seek asylum. Gutierrez had written a series of stories about alleged Mexican military abuses of civilians and claims he received daily death threats." Jan. 21, 2011
