6 Colombian Tourists Missing in Mexico

MEXICO CITY – The emergency management office in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas is looking for a group of Colombian tourists who disappeared during an outing to a volcano, officials told EFE on Wednesday.

Someone called the emergency management office about the tourists, but an official missing persons report has not been filed, officials said.

Six Colombian tourists disappeared on April 15 while touring the crater of the Chichonal volcano in the northern part of the state, media reports said, citing a member of the tour group who turned back because he was tired.

“Emergency management office personnel are conducting a search around the volcano and on the trail. Nothing guarantees that the report is true, but we continue searching,” the agency said.

The man who phoned in the report has not been heard from again, officials said.

Mexican Cops Busted for Extorting Cash from Migrants

MEXICO CITY – Two officers of Mexico’s Federal Police are in custody on charges they sought to use their position to extort money from undocumented immigrants, the Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday.

The cops and two civilian accomplices – one of them using a stolen Federal Police credential – were caught in the act by municipal police in Mexico City, the AG Office said in a statement.

When surprised by the municipal officers, the suspects claimed that an investigation of migrant traffickers had led them to a residence being used as a safe house for migrants.

In reality, according to the AG Office, the suspects burst into the residence and tied up the migrants before demanding money in exchange for not turning them over to immigration authorities.

One of the migrants managed to tip off the municipal police, who arrested the two federal agents and their accomplices.

The detainees were turned over to the Mexico City district attorney’s office, which is also in the process of aiding the victims to regularize their migration status, the AG Office said.

Media accounts said the victims were a dozen women who worked as dancers at a nightclub in the capital’s upscale Condesa neighborhood and were living in the nearby area of Napoles.

Democratic National Committee, Clinton and Sanders Sue State of Arizona

PHOENIX – The Democratic National Committee, or DNC, and their White House candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, sued on Friday the State of Arizona on behalf of several voters who waited up to six hours to vote in the March primaries.

The lawsuit was filed in a Phoenix federal court representing seven voters who had to wait up to six hours to vote.

The lawsuit said that delays affected Latino, African American and Native American voters, and focuses especially on the decisions of the authorities in Maricopa County, the most populous region of the state.

The suit asks why for the primaries on March 22 this county reduced the number of available polling stations to 60, when in 2012 there were 200, a provision which caused huge queues even after the polling closed.

Plaintiffs include the first president of the Navajo Nation, Peterson Zah, and the Senate campaign of Ann Kirkpatrick who aims to replace Republican John McCain.

The suit points out that Arizona has a long history of discrimination against minority groups and questioned the decision of the state’s elections department’s decision to reject provisional tickets at an “alarming number.”

It also indicated that the rights of minority voters could be violated in future elections as a result of a recently approved law by the state legislature, which makes it a crime for an individual to submit a ticket signed and stamped at a polling station in the name of another voter.

“Democrats believe our country is stronger when every voice is heard and every vote is counted, and we will keep fighting to make sure the sacred right of every American to vote is protected,” said DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a press release.

The plaintiffs request that the rights of all residents of Arizona be protected during the next general election in November, and that the court orders Maricopa County to present a plan specifying the locations and numbers of voting centers that will be available.
