MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) — Mexican authorities were searching Wednesday for two politicians accused of belonging to the Familia Michoacana drug cartel, which is blamed for killing more than 30 federal police officers in a series of attacks since Saturday.

Julio Cesar Godoy Toscano, elected July 5 to the lower house of Congress, is accused of being in charge of protection for the cartel, said Monte Alejandro Rubido Garcia, head of the National Public Security Council.

Godoy Toscano is half-brother to Michoacan’s governor, Leonel Godoy Rangel, who Wednesday urged his relative to surrender.

Authorities also said they are searching for Saul Solis Solis, alias “El Lince,â€

It seems like most people with any kind of authority in Mexico are corrupt. Its all the more reason to build fences to keep them all out of here.

Yeah, and a big reason why they are for illegals in our country is for transportation of drugs. Then they come here and strong arm them to commit more crimes for them.
