BCA's Response to Violence in Mexico

The U.S. media has increasingly been reporting on the violence occurring in Ciudad Juárez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, and other areas near the U.S. Mexican border. Unfortunately, narcotrafficking and turf wars, along with the Mexican government's attempts to control these groups, has created concern for safety near the border areas. BCA's study center in Xalapa is located more than 500 miles from these areas of conflict, and we are carefully monitoring the situation. Our Resident Director in Xalapa is a warden of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico and frequently receives updates and advisories from the U.S. government. READ MORE
