United States Secretary of State John Kerry still plans to visit Mexico this weekend. This comes in despite of security concerns following public death threats from both Cartel and Vigilante factions. Both blame the United States for the continued escalation in violence in the past week and have publicly called for his death. One Cartel leader, La Becca Traficante of the Sinaloa Cartel, known by locals as the She-Devil of the South, has offered up a bounty for his scalp. State Department officials state they are doubling their security in preparation for this trip. Kerry expressed little concern for the recent death threats, stating that his mission was of the utmost concern.
