Cd Juarez has had posts placed on all public buildings. The cartels are coming after the Mayor and his family. He has resided in El Paso and crosses daily to govern the city.

The cartels don’t care where he is. They are coming for him.

“We received information that the Juárez mayor lives in El Paso, and that possibly they were going to come to El Paso to get him,” Carrillo said. “He has not asked us for our help, but it’s our duty to protect any resident of our city who may be under threat.”

Juárez police said written threats against Reyes Ferriz and his family were left in different parts of Juárez after the police chief, Roberto Orduña Cruz, resigned Friday. The threats were written on the kind of banners and posters that the Juárez drug cartel has used to send messages to police and others.

Homeland Security official affirms Mexican drug cartel violence has spilled over into Texas.
