LA MORA, Mexico - Two months after tragedy struck, beefed-up security has helped calm the holdout residents of a tight-knit community of U.S.-Mexican families of Mormon origin. But with only a few families staying put, at least one village is being hollowed out.
“There are families that will come back to visit, but they’re not going to live here again because they don’t feel safe,” she said. The leftist president who has pursued a less confrontational security policy is nonetheless set to speak at a fortified event center, erected in the past few days for his visit.Some locals complain that the police presence before November’s attack was almost non-existent, but since then army soldiers and National Guard troops have flooded in, along with FBI and Mexican investigators.
The large families that have populated this part of northern Mexico, nestled among rolling hills and gurgling rivers, stem from breakaway Mormon communities that began fleeing the United States more than a century ago in search of safe havens for their polygamist beliefs. “I was set to get married one week after the massacre,” she said, “and now my fiance wants us to live in the United States.”
Officials have suggested the attack may have been linked to a turf battle between two rival cartels known to fight over lucrative smuggling routes between Sonora and Chihuahua states, which both border the United States.
