A Utah man who helped get his mother and other family members safely out of northern Mexico after nine people were killed in an apparent ambush said Sunday thatwith whatever they could fit in their cars and trucks and they’ll probably never return.
“They’ve been down there for 47 years. They left with the bare minimum, whatever they could fit in the back of my pickup,” Hafen added. “After 47 years of living, they almost had to walk away from everything.”Hafen said many of his family members and friends think they’ll never return to Mexico because of the drug cartels.
“It’s pretty hard on everyone and it’s sad. I grew up there. It was an awesome place to live. I love the place. Growing up there, I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” added Hafen, 54, who moved to Utah 15 years ago. “But [with] the cartels doing what they’re doing, it’s not safe. We have found that out.”
