SEATTLE - Following the recent arrest of two high-profile Mexican drug lords, a Virginia-based private security firm is urging Americans traveling to Mexico in the next few days to be cautious and monitor trusted sources to avoid any getting caught up in a violent flare-up. Mexican government officials at the border state of Chihuahua also raised concerns over possible violence and are preparing for a "worst-case scenario," said Public Safety Director Gilberto Loya on July 29. "Why prepare? Because it is not clear what happened. There could be a different response from criminal groups if it was a surrender or a betrayal between cells of the same cartel," Loya added.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
