Ex-policewoman from Mexico
now U.S. Border Patrol agent

Ex-policewoman from Mexico <br>now U.S. Border Patrol agent EL PASO — Death threats had become routine for Blanca Angelica Parra, a police officer in Ciudad Juarez until the summer of 1995.

"In Juarez when you arrested someone they would threaten you, they were going to kill you and your family," Parra said of life as a police officer in the hardscrabble city across the Rio Grande from El Paso. "But normally that didn't happen." Parra believed the violence between drug cartels and police would only worsen, so she quit her job and moved with her daughter to the United States.
