Female police chief in Mexico may seek U.S. asylum


A 20-year-old college student hired as police chief of a Mexican border town is reportedly seeking asylum in the United States.

Marisol Valles Garcia "received death threats from a criminal group that wanted to force her to work for them," a relative told AFP news service on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity. She "went to the United States along with two relatives and will seek asylum."

..Andres Morales, a spokesman for the town of Praxedis G. Guerrero, said Valles Garcia was expected back at work on Monday after taking some time off to deal with family matters.

"Right now, these are rumors," he said of the asylum report, according to the El Paso Times.

But he acknowledged that Valles Garcia had gone to the United States, saying it was to seek medical treatment for her infant son, who has a lung ailment.

"If she doesn't return to work (on Monday) she could be removed," the El Diario newspaper quoted Morales as saying, "though that would be up to the mayor."

Some reports said Valles Garcia left with her son and husband on Feb. 28, going across the border to Fort Hanc-ck, Texas.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which handles asylum requests, did not immediately return a call regarding whether Valles Garcia had sought asylum.

Valles Garcia became police chief in Praxedis G. Guerrero — home to some 10,000 people — after two other job candidates dropped out following the killing of the mayor and his son.

Now widely known as "the bravest woman in Mexico," she was studying criminology in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent city, when she was appointed last October.

Mexico is really screwed up. In what world does a 20-year-old have the maturity and experience to be police chief? 20-year-olds still suffer from teenage impulsiveness.
Seems that one of her more recent irrational impulsive decisions was to accept job as police chief

Yeah, but....but...look at all the book and movie deals. Dumb like a Fox?

I think it's all planned. She's a cartel plant, sent north to infiltrate US LE, of course, after she completes college and goes to work in management for the DEA. :cool:

Mexican Police Chief Quits, Flees to US


Twenty-year-old Marisol Valles Garcia fled Mexico and is seeking asylum. That sure didn't take long. Problem is, you can run but you can't hide from the cartels.

Make fun of it, if you will, but in some of those small towns, it doesn't take much to be Chief of Police.

That said, it appears that this story is a work in progress, because some sources claim that she went NOB for medical care for her child.

I didn't see Dennis' post on the General Board when I posted this, my apologies to all.

Jesse, I took the liberty to post it here as there's other non-baja news posted here and I know there's quite a few folks that don't want to go to the urinating tournament that is the off topic board. My apology to you sir.
