This relates to the missing Mexican students, full story:
Mexico Is Looking For 43 Missing Students. What Has Been Found Is Truly Terrifying
Quick background: The City's Mayor And His Wife Allegedly Control The Local Drug Cartel and are on the run as is the police chief. Dozens of police have since been arrested, and authorities said some have confessed to being involved. Federal police officers have taken over law enforcement in Iguala, disarming the entire force.
So there are no elected civil authorities in charge and the federalizes are in charge.
Now for the fun part....
Quote:
Meanwhile, a banner demanding the policemen’s release appeared in Iguala, signed by the Guerreros Unidos cartel. "Or else we will reveal the names of all the politicians who work for us. The war is just beginning," the sign threatened.
