The mayor of the Mexican border city of Tijuana has been forced to take up residence on a military base after receiving threats from criminal organizations.
Mayor Montserrat Caballero said Monday that she would be moving to the base due to death threats from multiple gangs in response to her administration’s fight against organized crime.
“Your representative saw herself in the need to live in an army base because we are the police force that has seized more weapons on a national level from criminals,” Caballero said said after someone shot at a member of her security detail last month.
