EL PASO, Texas—El Paso County officials want the federal government to take over transporting and caring for wounded Mexican police officers now being treated in a local hospital.
The officers were wounded in an ongoing turf war among powerful and deadly Mexican drug cartels. They are being treated at El Paso County hospital, and local sheriff's deputies are providing tight security to prevent Mexico's violence from spilling into the United States.
The officers were shot in Casas Grandes, Mexico, about 140 miles south of El Paso. Their transfer to El Paso prompted the second security lockdown at the public hospital this year.
