A narco-banner threatening to kill U.S. Border Patrol agents and Mexican police was hung in Juárez amid the current large-scale migrant smuggling on both sides of the Rio Grande.
The banner was found on a pedestrian bridge Wednesday morning, two days after U.S. and Mexican authorities announced new targets in a binational anti-crime initiative.
The banner warned municipal, state and ministerial police, the Mexican national guard and "
la migra" to stop messing with "
polleros," or human smugglers.
"Bullets can also cross the river and the (border) wall," stated the message in Spanish, which was signed in vulgar slang roughly meaning "the main man in all of Juárez."
