n Ciudad Juarez's attempt to clean up the city, a troop of mounted Mexican police patrols its tourist and bar area February 20, 2000. On weekends, six mounted police officers comb the street of Avenida Juarez and the surrounding Red District area in search of drug addicts, intoxicated people and other offenders who, they say, give the city a bad name. The offenders are loaded into a paddy wagon and transported to the municipal jail.
