MEXICO CITY — A woman who made international headlines when she accepted the job as police chief in a violent Mexican border town at the age of 20 was fired Monday for apparently abandoning her post after receiving death threats.
Marisol Valles Garcia was granted a leave of absence from March 2-7 to travel to the United States for personal matters but failed to return to Praxedis G. Guerrero as agreed, city officials said.
Local news media have reported that she was seeking asylum in the United States, but there has been no confirmation of that.
