SPECIAL REPORT: Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Under Martial Law!
FOX NEWS: MEXICAN PRESIDENT DECLARES MARTIAL LAW
ABC NEWS: Juarez, Mexico under the equivalent of Martial Law
Many people ABC-7 talked to in Juarez believe if the military does indeed take over the police department, which we refer to as “martial law” in the U.S., the calm will end and the attacks will increase to a whole new level.

Some of the several thousand troops expected in Ciudad Juarez by the end of this week will take over the municipal police, local jails and police traffic department.
“General Galvan will appoint soldiers to take control of the municipal police next week,” a spokesman for the Ciudad Juarez mayor’s office said, referring to Defense Minister General Guillermo Galvan.
CNN: Mexico pours troops into border city stricken by drug war
(CNN) — Nearly 7,000 Mexican soldiers and federal police arrived in the U.S.-Mexico border city of Ciudad Juarez this week to restore security to a city plagued by a long-standing, bloody drug war.
Random vehicle checkpoints, patrols of masked soldiers and police in SWAT gear are some of the signs of the massive military buildup ordered by Mexico’s president, Ciudad Juarez police spokesman Jaime Torres Valadez said Thursday.
Another 1,500 soldiers are expected to join the 3,500 that rolled into Juarez earlier this week to support municipal police in street patrols and ultimately take control of their operations, Torres said.
In addition to the army troops, about 3,000 federal agents arrived to carry out investigations Torres likened to those of the FBI in the United States.
Surveillance cameras will be installed throughout the city.
But human rights advocates say the military presence creates a police state in a region
where confidence in law enforcement is low.

El Paso Times trying to make Juarez martial law look like a good thing
There’s more information about this in the comments at http://chrysler5thavenue.blogspot.com/2009/03/mexico-under-martial-law.html.
It was bound to happen sooner or latter, there is just too much civil police corruption.
and the good and honest police force are just outgunned, out numbered and outspent monetarily.
Even do the worst enemy of the people have always been the law enforcement in Mexico, mexican cartels now control the bad elements in all police force depts, what many years ago the “judiciales”(state and federal) use to shake down the unorganized drug traffickers. I hope Tijuana is next, I was raised there and still feel for that city, i don’t think there is another choice, nothing else seems to work, short of making some drugs legal or a major drop in illegal drug use.

THIS HELL WILL SPILL OVER INTO THE USA .JUST A MATTER OF TIME.GREAT LEADERSHIP WE HAVE IN MEXICO AND FOR THAT MATTER THE USA.
Once again USA’s backwards and draconian drug laws lead to government overreach.
the war on drugs is working great!
This is the second time in a few months I’ve seen a Mexico news event appear and then quickly disappear. I saw the headline about this on Google but by the time I went to read the story it was gone from Fox News. If it weren’t for a blogger on Free Press I’d never have found it. The big question is, what more is there someone in these governments do not want us to know? Thank God for bloggers on the Internet … keep saving and posting those links ‘cuz they have a habit of disappearing!

A bit off topic, but your reference to the El Paso sheriff’s office is in Colorado, Not Texas. That said, It is a old document-2005- that states it is to be reevaluated every year. It may not even be in effect now. It seems to be a sensible approach to cival disturbances. Are you trying to say that other LE agancies do not have a plan for this? They had better or they would remiss. The key is when does a protest get reclassified as a riot? Who decides to instigate marshal law? Those are the key questions.
Thank you for the correction George.
Giving government that much power is extemely dangerous.
Civilians should never give up their rights and freedoms to government.
usa is next
This is a problem that could easily be handled by both militaries of the U.S. and Mexico. It would only take a few Apachies and a couple F-16s. What you people don’t know is this problem has been fomented by the criminals in both governments. Wake up people. This is the age of deception. Bush was a criminal with Cheney, Clinton was a criminal, and now Obama who is related to all of these punks, will carry on the business of their shadow governments. Mexico is in the pockets of the U.S. and America takes dictates from the NWO elite!!! Their motto is “Order out of chaos” Its all about the mark of the beast!! Its coming. But they want you to call for it first. Things get bad enough and you will. As for me, I’m heading for the mountains!!!!
I have received word from Mexico this morning from someone who is very involved in businesses in the State of Sonora etc. that the report of lockup and martial law throughout Mexico is not true. The letter is very official and very accurate.
Geraldo is not Mexican and all of the ones interviewed are American and I find this interview very unfair. The crime is exagerrated–crime in the US is much greater and who is going to help the US? Just to a search and a statistical ratio of a comparable city in the US and you will see what I am saying.
All I want to know is it safe to travel to Jarez in the daytime? I have to pick up my stepdaughter at the end of the Month. All I get is either really bad stories or caution alerts. Has anyone traveled there that can help me with info?
In December I drove to central Mexico and over several days time I did not see evidence of a ‘failed state’. At banks and border crossings the Army was present, but not interfering with the population. We drove during the day and tried to stay in areas that looked safe, the same as we would on this side of the border. That said, it might be a good idea for you to seek current information from the areas you plan to go to; I have not been to Juarez in a long time. Good luck.
The globalist term is “ordo ab chao” or “order out of chaos”. Like Palosi and Obama said, and laughed at, “a good crisis is nothing to waste.” Why? In times of crisis you can literally pull the wool over peoples eyes because they are thinking with their emotions. In other words the elitists look at the mass of people in America as “suckers”, “idiots”, “stupid”, etc…. The USA need to have another Boston Tea Party and kick most people out of the government. Instead of having a government ‘of the people; for the people; by the people’ we have a government ‘of the con artists; for the con artists; by the con artists.” When I say Congress these days I put emphasis on the ‘CON”.
