On Monday, nine members of a Mormon family, all US citizens, were killed in northern Mexico in an apparent attack by drug cartels. "The level of violence is brutal," Gladys McCormick, Jay and Debe Moskowitz Endowed Chair in Mexico-U.S. Relations, told the Boston Herald. "The last four weeks have been horrible for Mexico,” she added. "The zone where the attacks took place is also up for grabs. One of the big demon cartels is responsible." McCormick spoke with several media outlets about the recent cartel violence in Mexico.
