Another female mayor killed in Mexico

 There is a trend in Mexico for a young woman to become mayor of a town. No man wants the job, and a woman figures she will be respected and not killed by drug dealers. Wrong. It is an epidemic, read the latest statistic below. So when the left bashes Trump on woman's rigthts issues, maybe they ought to stop doing drugs and build that wall. Because Mexico does have a lot of drug dealers and they pimp and kill women. Read below:


MEXICO CITY –  The mayor of a city south of Mexico's capital was shot to death on Saturday, less than a day after taking office, officials said.

Gunmen burst into the house of Mayor Gisela Mota in the city of Temixco and killed her, said the government of Morelos state, where Temixco is located. Two presumed assailants were killed and two others detained, said Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez in the government statement.

Officials attributed her killing to organized crime.

Mota's leftist Democratic Revolution Party released a statement describing her as "a strong and brave woman who on taking office as mayor, declared that her fight against crime would be frontal and direct."

Temixco is a city of about 100,000 people neighboring Cuernavaca, a resort and industrial city which has been suffering kidnappings and extortion linked to organized crime groups. Though Cuernavaca is the state capital of Morelos, Temixco is the seat of several state institutions including the Public Security Commission, which coordinates state and local police forces. Morelos also neighbors drug cartel-plagued Guerrero state.

Mota, who had been a federal congresswoman, was sworn into office on New Year's Day. She was killed the following day.

Morelos Gov. Ramirez vowed there "would be no impunity" in her killing and promised that state officials would not cede to the challenge presented by organized crime.

Federal and state forces are deployed in Cuernavaca and municipalities near the Guerrero state border in what is called "Operation Delta."

Local mayors and officials in Mexico have often been targeted by drug cartels.
