Because of her work, Blanca frequently receives death threats. Her situation has deteriorated over the past six months to such an extent that she was forced to leave Tijuana. This is because she works for family members of a group of 25 police officers who were arbitrarily detained and tortured by the army for two months without any reason. One of those officers was Blanca’s father, who died during the detainment. Recently, Blanca was pursued by a car with blinded windows. When she parked her car in order to get away, she was approached by the driver, who proclaimed that he knew where to find her family in case she continued her work. « The only reason that I won’t kill you right now, » he said, « is that the elections are near and I don’t want a scandal. Your case is internationally known. »
