Mexico City – In response to the murders of three people connected to the U.S. consulate to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, over the weekend, the Mexican government promised that national authorities will work to solve the murders in order to bring to justice the ones responsible.
The federal government, through the Foreign Affairs Secretariat (SRE), said it is committed to ensuring the security of the diplomatic and consular personnel, as well as their families’, in Mexican territory. The SRE said that authorities will continue to work to strengthen public security in Ciudad Juárez and in the rest of Mexico.
The U.S. Department of State issued a new travel warning, replacing one dated Feb. 22. U.S. consulate employees in border cities such as Tijuana, Nogales, Juárez, Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey and Matamoros have also been authorized to take leaves of absence until April 12.
Similarly, the SRE said that it will continue cooperating with U.S. diplomatic authorities throughout the murder investigation.
In a press release, President Felipe Calderón expressed his indignation and condemned the events that happened in Juárez. He said that Mexico is thoroughly committed to solving these “serious crimes.”
Calderón expressed his condolences to victims’ families and said his administration is committed to improving Mexico’s security.
