INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE ISSUES PROVISIONAL MEASURES TO PREVENT IMMINENT VIOLATION OF U.S. TREATY OBLIGATIONS

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS (MTN) – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) today determined that the United States must take “all measures necessary” to prevent the executions of José Medellín and four other Mexican nationals sentenced to death in the state of Texas. The order will remain in effect until the ICJ resolves Mexico’s request for interpretation of its 2004 Judgment in Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America). The Avena case was filed by Mexico on behalf of 51 Mexican nationals who did not receive consular access upon arrest in the United States, in violation of ….Read More

Mexico City Police Chief ousted over fatal night club raid

MEXICO CITY (MTN) — Mexico City’s police chief and its top prosecutor were forced out of office on Tuesday following a [cref 12-people-trampled-to-death-in-mexico-nightclub-raid botched nightclub raid that resulted in the deaths of 12 people], including a 13-year-old girl.

Ortega had held the post since 2004, when he replaced Ebrard – who was fired in a different police scandal. The mayor made the announcement shortly after Mexico City’s Human Rights Commission presented a report alleging rampant misconduct by ….Read More

Go south for cheap gas?

There has been much talk lately in the news and on the radio and TV shows about Americans heading to Mexico to partake of the cheaper fuels available there. This quote from The Sanctuary gave me a chuckle and went on to explain why the fuels are so much cheaper in Mexico. As nativists continue to falsely claim that “illegal aliens are stealing from U.S. taxpayers”, it looks as if U.S. citizens have found a way to steal from Mexican taxpayers. Here in Mexico, gasoline is about a dollar cheaper per gallon than in the US because the Mexican government ….Read More

There are more opportunities to help listed on the Mexican Consulate- San Antonio website if you care to gather more information. Except for a $500 donation made by this website and it’s owners, Mexicotrucker.com has absolutely nothing to do with this effort. Keep in mind people. These are poor states in Mexico and it is entirely possible that this disaster could unleash hundreds of thousands of illegals on the U.S. You donations might prevent that. This is Mexico’s Katrina and they were there for us when we needed them, although they were rudely denied and the services they offered were ….Read More

More on the cause of the Coahuila truck explosion

25 kilo sacks of AN-FOYou learn something every day and in this case it is ANFO, or ammonium nitrate-fuel oil mixture. As I mentioned in the update on the truck explosion in Coahuila on September 10, I could not imagine anyone shipping that chemical combination, but apparently it is very commonplace, especially in the U.S. Here are the facts:
