By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Monday, the Mexican Government deployed 1,500 security officials including National Guard, army and police to guarantee peace and security in the area.

The boots on the ground in Chiapas will “guarantee peace,” officials said.

The move comes after a viral video showed armed drug cartel members in Frontera Comalapa moving to”liberate” the town from a rival cartel.

According to Reuters, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that the issue is limited to the region.

“It’s a matter very limited to a region and the National Guard is already being deployed,” the Mexican President said.

The Mexican President confirmed that gangs are fighting over territory.
