Friends and loved ones of a murdered woman blocked the entrance to an international port of entry in the border city of Matamoros.
Friends and loved ones of a murdered woman blocked the entrance to an international port of entry in the border city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, for over 18 hours to pressure government officials into solving the case.
The protest caused a considerable traffic jam as the port of entry sees thousands of vehicle crossings daily, primarily from tractor-trailers moving commercial goods. Monday afternoon, more than 50 state police officers arrived at the port of entry and threatened to arrest everyone if the group did not disperse.
After several days of protests by outraged community members, authorities searched and found the victim’s body in a clandestine gravesite. Since then, no arrests have been made.
