CNS STORY: Families, church officials search for northbound Mexicans who disappear: "Ricardo Salazar Sanchez boarded a northbound bus in the central state of Guanajuato with 22 fellow residents for a journey to the U.S.-Mexico border -- and a subsequent attempt at crossing into Texas, where potential construction jobs awaited.
The men, who left March 21, never arrived. What happened to them remains a mystery. In April, family members began suspecting the men ended up in the mass graves discovered on a ranch near the U.S. border; authorities found the remains of passengers pulled, at gunpoint, from northbound buses by the Mexican drug gang Los Zetas."
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.
