The decision to move the police of Ciudad Juarez into local hotels came after at least five officers were killed in Mexico's most violent city in recent days. The deaths follow a warning by a local drug gang calling itself the New Juarez Cartel. The gang threaten to kill one police officer a day unless the local police chief, Julian Leyzaola, resigns. Leyzaola is a very controversial figure in Mexico, credited by many with greatly reducing crime in Tijuana while he was police chief there. But there are dozens of complaints against him with the state's human rights commission, including for alleged illegal detentions.
