Mexican Journalists Seek U.S. Asylum; At Least One Granted So Far
"A Mexican journalist who was the target of death threats like those made by drug cartels says he has been granted asylum in the United States in a case believed to be the first of its kind since the country's bloody drug war began."
PAUL J. WEBER and OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ for the Associated Press, Sept. 23, 2010.
"Mexico's drug war, which has claimed more than 28,000 lives, has become one of the most dangerous stories in the world. Some journalists have taken the ultimate step: They have fled to the United States to seek political asylum."
JOHN BURNETT for National Public Radio, Sept. 24, 2010.
