TL;DR Summary

The mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero, has decided to live at an army base for her own safety after receiving threats. The decision was made after police found seven dead bodies stuffed in a pickup truck on Monday. The Tijuana city government said the threats were related to her administration's "strong results in weapons seizures and arrest of violent suspects." President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the threats had been made by "organized crime groups," a term used in Mexico to refer to drug cartels. Tijuana has more homicides than any other city in Mexico, with 1,818 killings in the 12-month period ending in May.
