In a visit to Ciudad Juárez last week, Interior Secretary Fernando Gómez Mont said the administration is considering adjustments to the strategy – which relies on the deployment of thousands of soldiers and federal police agents – but insisted that any shift would come in response to a change in tactics by the cartels.
