The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.

Collateral Damage: Suspect Detained in Shooting of U.S. Agent
Mexico - Suspect Detained in Shooting of U.S. Agent - NYTimes.com: "The Mexican Army said Wednesday that it had detained a man suspected in the shooting death of a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and the wounding of another on a Mexican highway last week. The detained man was identified as Julián Zapata Espinosa, known as El Piolín, a leader of the Zetas gang in San Luis Potosí. The agents were ambushed and fired on as they drove from San Luis Potosí State to Mexico City. The motive was not clear but speculation has focused on a possible carjacking." Feb. 24, 2011
